This is already subverting the free market by opening a loophole which allows employers to look outside their home market in order to undercut workers in their own market.
It's unethical for two reasons. First, the H1B regulations require that employers pay prevailing market rates for the talent they're importing, which they clearly aren't. Second, it provides a lever to help lower everyone else's salaries, while the executives pocket huge bonuses for dubious reasons.
It worries me that a ruling like this would come down when there was no proof of criminal intent, and no real harm was done. The judge even acknowledged this in his comments from the bench, but said that the way the law was written necessitated this verdict. First, the law is very loose in its definitions of "unauthorised access".
It seems that there were three levels where hysteria over computer crimes worked against the defendant. First, British Telecom had very sensitive intrusion alarms which can give false positives. Second, the police seemed overzealous in prosecuting what was just a small matter. Third, I'm not sure the judge had the knowledge to understand the technology or the actions that precipitated the legal actions. Add a vague and very loose definition in the computer crimes laws, and you have a recipe where someone can be wrongly convicted.
Just as an addendum about the Drafthouse. Since they're an independant theater chain, they can get away with making or appropriating their own lead in material. For Aerenity, they ran the documentary off the DVD collection about the making of the series, a music video featuring Mal and His "wife" set to "I will survive", and a video entitled "Chinese Swearing 101". They also ran the trailer for "Ice Pirates" along with the real trailers for Jarhead and a couple of others.
I watched it this afternoon at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. Great movie. There were a couple of plot points that surprised me, like the very nasty surprise after the crash landing.
They do a segment at the beginning to help flesh out the River/Simon Tam backstory. There's some set up to show what's happened to a few characters since the show ended, and an answer to at least one of the show's major questions.
About the venue. The Alamo Drafthouse is a chain of theaters started in Austin. They have a full lunch/dinner menu, full bar, and good seats. It served very well this afternoon, since I was able to drop my car off for it's annual inspection, (Damn government and all their rules. They shouldn't meddle! Okay, that's my inner Browncoat getting out.) walk accross the street, and enjoy a beer and a pizza while I watched the movie.
A large number of groups are already working on the issues of clean water and food. It's good to see that groups like this are applying their knowledge to helping developing nations.
This release coincides with a warning that Mac OSX is not as secure as many people believe. Interestingly, Symantec also just released a new security suite for the Macintosh, so it seems that to market it, they've trotted out a bunch of vulnerabilities. One of these is the existence of a root kit for OSX, which has, as far as we know, never been used successfully to compromise a system.
I expect that we'll see a bunch of extensions for Firefox coming from Symantec soon. It seems that they issue warnings like this sometimes as a way to expand their business.
You're right, we should just stop flying altogether. While we're at it, we might as well hang up the car keys and ride horses. Oops, never mind, you could fall off a horse and break your neck, so we're better off walking. Of course then, you could trip and fall, so it's best not to leave the house.
Life is risky, and we are where we are because people occasionally risk something extraordinary.
I spent two weeks in Russia last month, where I met a number of university students. The number one major seemed to be some combination of Computer Science and engineering with extra training in English and German. I also met one lady who is working with a software startup doing localizations for English speaking countries. (She probably speaks better English than I do.)
At least now I've seen where the programming jobs are going.
They're best not fought at all. This may not always be possible, and war may sometimes be a necessary evil.
Though it may be necessary, it is still evil, and should only be approached with the greatest trepidation and after all good options have been exhausted.

To follow up the mock cyber-attacks, Japan will then undergo a mock giant robot attack, which will be followed by Godzilla drills.
So just film it from hight altitude. Then we can see speed relative to the ground.

Good call, but let's leave Ben Affleck on the asteroid this time.
Call me when they evolve to look like Tricia Helfer.
I for one welcome our cliche'd robot overlords...
Hell, it's worth the karma.
That makes sense for the manned launcher, but for the heavy lifter, why not adapt the engines from the Delta IV or the Russian Proton?

Has anyone published figures on the cost/kg using these two new launchers.
Also, why use SSMEs? They are wickedly powerful, but they're also the most expensive engines available. Why not develop a less complex engine?
It looks like the uncyclopedia needs to be updated to include an article on this
There is no "W" sound in the Russian language, and they are perfectly capable of pronouncing both "R" and "V" sounds.
We're talking about at least three episodes of Star Trek here.
There may be more.
If you don't respect your boss, then it's time to find a new one. Get your resume together, and start looking for the next job.
I think we need to add a "blasphemous" selection to the moderation menu. I'm not sure whether it should be a +1 or -1 though.

Plus a 4 hour checkin and a body-cavity search at customs...
And they send your luggage to Saturn.
Is there room on a fighter plane to put a large fridge?
Are you sure they're not referring to the football player?

I didn't say anything about his family.
I had the same issues running Panther on my Powerbook, which also had 512 MB of RAM. I upgraded to 1.25 GB, and it's been running much better.
