BTW, I did love living in the Bay Area. Love the energy of the area. Norway doesn't have a tech area like the Bay Area. Oslo is more finance than tech (but most tech jobs seem to be in the Oslo area).
The reason for the extension of the OPT is that Congress wouldn't increase the H1b quota. The problem then is that the quota is filled the first day it is available (April 1st), which is before anyone studying in the US has graduated. And you can't apply for an H1b (or your job can't if you can get one) before you have graduated.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Note that there are no mention of non-poor, well-educated people:-)
I left the US, and now work for a company in a country which gives me 5 weeks vacation each year, with pay comparable to what I would have gotten in the Bay Area. And I don't have to worry about the visa crap or whether I will get a green card.
All version-control systems do that. It's not optional: you have to have meta-information about the checked-out files available, and there's no place in the files themselves to put that information.
Sure, but there is a difference between having one tracking directory (like most DVCS like git and mercurial use), and one for each directory in your project.
As someone who has written cell phone software before, I can tell you that Symbian and Windows Mobile also require application signing before allowing your programs to run on their platforms
Oh, please. You hear this excuse from Apple apologists every time this issue comes up. Of all the programs on my Nokia N70, only the stuff from Nokia, Opera and Adobe is signed. Gmail app is not signed. None of the games are signed. They all installed and run fine.
Linus and the kernel hackers are free to reject any and all code that comes from Novell. If you (or any other person in the community) want the power to reject kernel code, become a kernel hacker. Until then, nobody but the kernel hackers and the submitters have a say in the matter, really...
You don't have to work in IT to know that there is no reason for G-Archiver to send the password to anyone but Google.
Why would the program need to send the password to anyone at all? It's an email archiver. All it needs to do is log in and pull the email. No need to mail the username/password combination at all.

Funny this article should come up, since I just watch "The King of Kong" today. Very good documentary, but wikipedia has more info (or at least another perspective) that wasn't covered in the movie.
But you aren't paying for an item, you're paying for the time and energy that the barber uses to cut your hair. If a barber chooses to cut your hair, then he doesn't have that time available to cut somebody else's.
So, it would OK to walk out without paying if there were nobody else waiting for a haircut then?
Since the barber wouldn't be cutting somebody else's hair if he didn't cut your's. The barber wasn't better or worse off for cutting your hair. In fact, isn't he better off? Instead of being idle, he used his skill and you're a walking advertisement for his skills.
Audio? Cells tend to have little storage. Gaming? The ergonomics are all wrong. Photo cameras? Even compared to a low-end camera, cells are a joke.
My cellphone has a 2 Gb storage (external). Maybe not enough for a cross-Atlantic trip, but plenty for an hour in the gym. Then again, the battery wouldn't last on a cross-Atlantic trip on the cell. The just announced Nokia N96 will have 16 Gb of internal memory + whatever the size of the mSD card you can find (and afford).
The mobile games are fine. Different games for different platforms. Shoot 'em ups might not work on a cellphone, but things like sudoku, drop zone/tetris or luxor works fine.
As to pictures. I'm not looking for a professional picture. Unless we're talking about the old phones, the newer phones have good enough camera (all my pictures have been taken by phonecamera).
And that's the point. For 90% of the time, the cellphone is good enough (only time I use an iPod these days are on those cross-Atlantic trips).
AOL was a company heading inevitably towards failure--they just didn't have anything that anyone really needed to pay for.
Really? Because when I read/. from that period (like here and here), it's all about doom-and-gloom, and AOL-TimeWarner will take over the internet and stop people from access any content without being an AOL subscriber.
I actually find svn:external a little more flexible than git's submodules. With svn, I can create a submodule/external for a given directory (say the module has the following subdirs: src and docs, you can pull in just src), while in git you would have to pull in the whole repos (correct me if I'm wrong)
If socialized medicine is so bad, wonder why all those senators and representatives (on both sides of the asle) made sure they are covered by a government run plan. If being run by the government is so bad, you would think they, at least the republicans, would want a private health plan.

Norwegian, although all business functions (documentation, coding) is in English.
Unfortunately, Norway doesn't have H1b/Green Card program, so unless your country is an EU member (or part of the Schengen deal), you're out of luck
I was under the impression most visa went to outsourcing companies like InfoSys.

I take it you have the same problem with all the x-applications (xeyes, xpdf, xscreensavers...), gnome applications, gnu applications etc etc
That's leftish talk. Fox has made it clear that Iraq was liberated.
I didn't have any problems flying into SFO or Chicago last times I went through those airports. Then again, I was on a student visa at the time.

Only if you are in the US. If not, you won't be able to. Something like the Daily Show can be watched from wherever.
I'm not sure the limit on write cycles will be a major concern at those sizes, especially if you keep the drive maybe 50-75% full.

Opera is Norwegian, and Opera Mini doesn't do ssl so you can't do your banking through the Mini.

I totally agree that the gains more than make up for the pains. I pretty much moved all my development over to git. I still miss that feature, though.

They're moving to khtml/webkit
Give them a fake number and address. They don't care, even if it's obvious.

Did you install the generic kernel or do you have the default 386 version? generic has the highmem turned on.
