This worker was "dragged" halfway around the world to fill a position where there was (supposedly) no qualified U.S worker available. Is it OK to import an H1-B worker and a few weeks later lay off a U.S worker from the same or similar position at another location within the same company?
I vote no on that one. If there are lay offs to be done due to one division being downsized, then lay off the H1-B workers and relocate the U.S worker. This should be part of the H1-B regulations, but it never will be. Not as long as the corporations are the ones writing the regulations that are supposed to regulate them and protect us.
H1-Bs with the same qualifications as someone being laid off should be the first to go. Hell, H1-Bs should be required to be let go and someone being laid off retrained if they're anywhere near qualified (no requiring secretaries to be retrained as developers, etc).
a) false. You had to have your device set to allow automatic pushes...
Do you have to have it set, or not change it's default setting? Most iMorons are the same people who can barley find the Windows Start menu. Setting it to auto download is almost the same as making it unchangeable, and just as irresponsible as Windows auto run feature on by default.
Click this icon for the word processor, this one is the folder that contains all your work related documents. This icon is for web browsing, but stay off that unless you're on break. This is the menu icon down here in the lower left corner, just like you're used to, just look for the name of the program you need to run if it's not already on the desktop.
Click here, click there. It's all the same no mater what OS you're using. If it takes more than an hour to train the average employee how to to use a new OS with similar software, you need a new employee, that one's broken.
Now it may take a day or two to train the ones who create documents and a few days to a week to train those that write scripts/programs in it, but it is not going to cost more than the several hundred dollars (or Euros) it would cost for each user.
FTFA: "Our review indicates that the server did not contain consumer personal information..."
So we're consumers to government services now?
It was bad enough when the corporations changed from using customers to consumers, but no way in hell should the government use that term in reference to its citizens.
Neither did the Grand Prix cars in the beginning. Racing and its popularity helped guide the auto industry to where it is now. I can only hope that electric car racing will do the same for the innovation in the electric market.
Did Namecheep notify it's users via email that their system was compromised and they need to change their password? If so, and they ignored it, oh well, it's your own damn fault. If Namecheep didn't notify it's users via email, then Namecheep is at fault and should be accountable for any damages, monetary or otherwise.
I fully understand that, however the parent was talking of doing away with the "extension cord" and have each structure generate it's own power via solar or wind. The only way to do that with todays energy storage capabilities, would be to abandon all cities not in a desert or mountain area where solar and wind power are prevalent.
Preventing the worst 1% of market participatns from offering via a specific platform will never shift the market share of the whole market by 1%.
No, but a regulation designed to affect 10 or 15 percent of the market participants, based on the action of this 1 percent, would have a great deal of affect on the whole Airbnb market.
People think businesses and CEO's only worry about short-term gains, but they aren't as stupid as you think. Consistent short-term gains require a long-term plan, and consistent gains are what's needed to build wealth.
Yeah, and Gene Roddenberry wrote about faster than light space travel back in the 60's, but that didn't make it possible.
Cell phones can, under ideal conditions, transmit 30 to 40 miles, while a low earth orbit is 99 miles up, and it would have to be directly overhead to be 99 miles away..>/p?
Spending quality time with family does not mean constant interaction between all parties. Just being in the same room, while each does their own thing, is quality time. If something pops in your mind, you're right there to discus it. Likewise if there's something your children have on their mind, you're right there.
This is where the family room developed, and it's also exactly what the current "social media" crap is trying to emulate.
How do you keep your keys from scratching your smartphone?
Don't keep them in the same pocket?
I hold my phone in my left hand because I'm right handed, so I keep it in my left pocket. I use my keys with my right hand, so they stay in my right pocket. Up until I got my first cell phone small enough to fit in a pocket comfortably, my left pockets (both front and rear) remained unused.
What kind of honest lives? We probably can't rule out the possibility that they can, in the future, tape your sex act at home from all the way in space. So in that case we should stop having kids then? That would get rid of most of the human race pretty quick
Thinking sex between consenting people is dishonest, shameful and/or immoral has led to many of the draconian laws on the books today.
This is great news! Now I can refurb laptops that have HDMI but are generally not so fast and had XP or Vista with Ubuntu and sell them as netflix devices.
Yea, but don't go with any of the *bunto dists. It's not working on 14.10a2 AFAIK.
My theory is they consider Linux users to all be hackers and they're sure that we'll find a way to destroy their DRM if they allow a Linux client.
If I (and I'm sure 99.9% of Linux users) really wanted a DRM free copy of something I watch on NetFlix, I'd not go through the trouble of de-DRMing it myself, I'd just download the damn thing form the many places it's already DRM free. I pay a premium for NetFlix with two DVD/Blue Ray disks and unlimited streaming. Id' like be able to watch steaming on my Linux computer. Same goes for Amazon Prime. All the crap you have available for streaming is already available at a multitude of places. You aren't preventing shit from getting lose.
I'm commenting on an internet forum, not writing a dissertation. I quickly read over my post to see if it makes sense and look for red squiggly underlines, then hit submit, or preview, here on/., and may or may not quickly read over it again before final submission. If you such a nerd, then you know damn well what I was saying. If this kind of mistake bothers you so much, add me to your ignore list and don't read my posts. You'll find many mistakes like this in my online posts, here and on other forums, and there will be more in the future. If I were getting paid to write, or writing something official, I'd take more care. I'm not, so read it or fuck off, makes no big fuck to me either way.
Anyone interested in an electronics degree, just like those interested in CS of any type (IT, programming, networking, whatever), should already know the basics. The sciences are not something you just decide to do on enrollment day and expect to be good at. There are certain skills and aptitudes that need to be in place, a way of thinking out problems that cannot be easily learned, and not having an interested in them until you're deciding on your future carer on college enrollment day, is setting yourself up for failure.
If you're in it for the money, you're going to suck as a professional in any science, and you're work will be sub par.
Like all corporate endeavorers, the motive is money. In a year or so when O3b files for bankruptcy, one of the big three (Comcast, AT&T or Verizon) will buy up the infrastructure for pennies on the dollar. The built out fees get eliminated in the bankruptcy, and then the profits start rolling in, just as planed.

Counting is logical and straight forward, the English language, spelling in particular, is anything but...

Yeah, the buildings in Seattle could certainly use solar and wind to generate all the power they need.
Or are you suggesting the whole country move to the desert and mountain areas?

Or is the stuff already not really important to keep more than one copy around
It's Facebook. I doubt it's of any importantce even to the op. At any rate, the NSA has a copy for backup.

Fictional stories are fiction for a reason.
That's kinda how they work, depending on the design. It's the cell phones that don't work that way.

won't listen to me in person or try to help me, why would Skype be any better? I haven't had a prescription in over thirty years.
I think if you're still alive after 30 years, you probably didn't really need those meds after all.
There's a reason some medication needs a prescription from a doctor. They aren't supposed to give you what you ask for.
Copywrited material can easily be seized in a lawsuit.
