You make some good points, and I agree, but I was more focused on the long term effects of greatly increasing the cap. I think it's a great idea for folks to come here, work for a couple years gaining valuable experience, then returning back to their country. The problem I see is the feedback: so many talented folks leave their country for greener pastures, spend most of adult their lives abroad (yes I know H1-B visas aren't permanent, but they are renewable), and end up contributing mostly to the increase of standard of living to other countries, and thus driving that gradient between there and their homeland. Thus maintaining or increasing the incentive for others to emigrate for long periods of time.
Personally, my issue with keeping the number of H-1B visas from getting too big isn't about the effect on us; it's about the long term effect of creating a brain drain in other parts of the world that need talent more than we do in order to better develop.
You forgot to say sheeple. Seriously, where's the evidence that "the media hasn't been talking about the issues"? Pretty sure that is most certainly not the case.
Currently, 25 percent of queries to the domain name system are for devices and computers that do not exist, suggesting the companies are already leaking information to the Internet
And how many of those are due to actual people as opposed to confused webcrawlers looking up dead links?
"Oh hai, a new webpage. Lookie, a link. hddp://mywobsite.youspace.com/forum/?post=1. Oh, there's nothing there.
Lookie, another link. hddp://mywobsite.youspace.com/forum/?post=2. Oh, there's nothing there

In addition, readers may be reminded of how much information Kernighan and Ritchie were able to pack into the 228 pages of the first edition of their classic The C Programming Language.
Yeah, but C doesn't have nearly the amount of junk as Javascript. One of these languages you can comfortably make a cheat-sheet notecard carrying a comprehensive overview of the language, as well as some of the common libraries. The other has the words 'java' and 'script' in it.
I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody publish a script that sees if something similar has been posted in the recent past on slashdot based on key words or some analytics voodoo. Would make for an interesting project, and fitting too!
Yes, it works quite well with both spiders and silkworms. Though keep in mind that most arachnids and insects do not perform well uninsulated in the cloud layer due to the abnormal temperatures, turbulence, and humidity. To get the best query throughput, keep your servers and invertebrates in a controlled, pressurized environment.
Actually, I (and I suspect a few fellow slashdotters who've taken physics) had to re-derive the mathematics behind the speed of light, and study the reasoning and observations leading up to why matter of finite momentum can not accelerate to the speed of light in a finite period of time. You were taught that the moon is smaller than the Earth. Why do you refuse to question that?
Why are these comments modded up? Seriously, the constitution is very specific about qualifying treason, and for good reasons. Treason is not "doing something you think is wrong," and was worded to avoid being misused as such. Neither Snowden nor the NSA have committed treason, as neither have declared acts of war against the US government nor directly giving undue aid directly to anybody actively combating the US.
Pretty sure it there's no big difference in security/privacy between modern browsers when you take the usual steps. Y'know, disable the problemchild plugins, limit cookies, use privacy mode, and keep javascript on a white-list basis. Of course, you can still technically be tracked by behavior and server-side stuff, but those have bugger-all to do with the browser.
Even if the image recognition software wasn't adaptive (which I know at least some are), an image document with this font would scream red flag. A document with lots of text but low correspondence to common latin fonts?
I think infectious disease has us beat at beating ourselves. There will always be a microbe with our name on it. Always always always always always always, till the end of our lineage. No matter how lovey dovey we get.

Without their consent? That's new.

All I see is an add for adblock plus.
Or Gungir.
Stop it with this childish game right now! Or do I hoof to put you down?

Wimp. I write my system software in stored procedures. Except of using char* I just use a table column where every value is an ascii ubyte. :P
We didn't steal fire, we just infringed on the gods' patents.
But . . . but what if you need to reconfigure the value of pi during runtime?!

Text-based 'punch the monkey' ads. Using nCurses.
Don't forget to say the password 'shiboleet'.
Language doesn't make the programmer.

Incorrect. Read Article 3 Section 3 of the US constitution.

Mass spectrometry. It's what the petroleum industry uses!
