that's actually what I'm doing. that's exactly the one we filed for. form -129f, petition for alien fiance visa.
It takes about 4 forevers for it to find its way through the process.
I don't object to the process taking its necessary time-- I'm not the only one doing this process-- but I do object to their losing and mishandling of paperwork that draws the process out longer.

I was living and working in Israel for the past two years and came back to my job in the States. I'm a US citizen. My fiance` is Israeli.
The hell that immigration has put us through, petitioning for an alien fiance` visa and getting that visa issues has been a nightmare.
The INS is so afraid that people will marry for the greencard and not for legit reasons, that they treat you like a criminal, threating 5 years in jail and $250,000 fines.
And she can't come to the states until the whole process is over, but I have to be here to file half the paperwork. It's extremely frustrating to be forced by the Govt. to be separated for the past three months.
more than this, if you try and come as an illegal, or on a tourist visa and get married, and file for change of status, they deport and jump at the chance to do the 5 years in jail and $250000 dollar fine....
If I'm lucky I'll be able to see my fiance' again in another month.

Actually, a friend of mine and I had every episode of the simpsons on vhs since their beginnings on the Tracey Ullman show.
Every year we hold a simpsons weekend where we play every episode in order all weekend. in the old days when we ran out of episodes we watched vh1 80's videos.
Now that I have tivo I get all the reruns and back them up to vhs.

Everyone has done me the luxury of pointing out that King misquoted Heinlein. I'm not surprised, Heinlein was a master, King is an extortionist.
But guys, when pointing out that King got it wrong, and adding the correction, you could have done the scholarly thing and cited the source.

In the other corner, we have the Jade iMac being advertised on the tellu with Joe Raposo's "It's Not Easy Being Green", a artfully crafted box with an equally attractive OS, and a whole world of commercially supported apps, like photoshop, etc.

B) tolerate crashy software while the baazaar gets it's act together.

So really, bridging the commercial and free worlds in this way is valuable to both our communities.
And besides, if you must have your devtools and such (and I want em too, this is posted from Mandrake/helix-gnome) you can put em back, along with X... but if there's a Aqua/carbon/cocoa'ed solution that runs native, am I gonna choose the crashy X version especially if the open source project is poorly managed and stagnant (too often the case)? not a chance.

What none of you remember is, two years ago when NT 5.0 was in beta, to get any of the pre-release candidates, you had to have a several thousand dollar MSDN subscription... and that when RC3 came along, you had to pay $69 to get a copy, and they limited the number they would sell.
I know I'm about to be flamed to a crisp for mentioning M$, but really, Apple isn't the first to do this, and it's not an uncommon practice.
Think about it, if it were free: Joe User wants to be bleeding edge, gets OS X for free... it works pretty well, does what he wants, with a little configuration to get everything working just right. The official release comes out, and they sock you for $100 ~ +/-...

Most companies digital camera-equipped with ccd
return policy is like this, minus legalese:
If you're certain your camera has a dead pixel on the ccd unit (not the lcd... we don't care about the lcd, but really sure it's the ccd) then we'll take the camera back and exchange you a new one.
If you think you've got pixels that are more sensitive than others, and when used to take demanding photos and get noise, we'll consider it.. but you better cross your fingers.
most *all* stores and web shops will exchange a camera with a dead pixel or stuck pixel on the ccd unit.

When Motorola and IBM admit they can't and don't want to mass produce ppc chips at speeds all users consider current
The first line of this post is a falsehood.
IBM hasn't been used by Apple as a PPC source since they went with the PPC750 also known as G3.
Moto has been stuck producing the same speed chips, and when it can't figure out how to speed increase, they add multimedia chips to the stew.
IBM shuns multimedia chips on the processor and produces blazingly fast RS/6000 PowerPC machines, running G3 chips at 750mhz (slowest) and in labs up to 1.5ghz.
So really, the blame doesn't lie with IBM. It lies with Apple for not buying IBM, and Moto for not mending the rift between they and IBM and asking IBM to show them how to fix the bug in their chip design that prevents them from going any faster.
IBM can afford to wait until Moto can put the ego aside to ask how REAL men make processors.

Linux folks reverse engineer drivers, and all kinds of hardware support.
Be cooperates with the hardware OEM's, has official developer contacts and such. When I boot Be (the free download, of course) it lets me know that the USB support came from cooperation with Intel.
Why does Be have so few video and sound drivers ( a perpetual complaint of lusers trying Be out) and the answer is simple-- where linux will reverse engineer and hack out a kludge driver, Be will only release a stable solution based on the manufacturer's docs, tech staff, and full permission.
And that is why there is no G3 support from Be, because Apple has withheld the necessary information about the architecture changes.
Personally, I think it's half out of spite... Jean Louis Gassee` was one of Apple's early employees, and when he left and formed Be as a competitor to NeXT and Apple, it sorta hacked Steve off. Don't offend Steve.

IMMIGRATION is a big issue that is going to be affected by how the vote turns out in November.
GWB is on the record for wanting to relax immigration laws, and make it easier for immigrant workers (H-1b classification, like Linus) as well as families and couples trying to get married.
This affects our high-tech industry because many of our key workers are here in the US on H-1b visas.
and it affects me personally. My fiance` and I have been trying to follow all the INS rules in our efforts to get the petition for fiance` visa granted. The INS is unresponsive.
So I called up my Congressmen's offices. I am a citizen of North Carolina. John Edwards' (on the short list for running mate of GORE) office staff refused to help.
Jesse Helms, enemy of the NEA, the man who declared in 1996 that if Clinton came to NC he'd "better watch his back", his office offered assistance and said they'd do what they could. (still no progress, but at least they offered help.)
So Rob, for all the evil you think of the Bush family, we need someone to take a hard look at relaxing immigration law, for our tech industry and my future happiness.
I was meant to be married shortly after Jeff (Hemos)'s wedding. Thanks to the INS, it may not happen this year.
INS law works in such a way that on any indication of fraud, they deport the non-citizen, fine the citizen $250,000 and jail for 5 years. So I have to be in the US while filing the forms, she has to remain in Tel-Aviv, and can't come to the states on her previously granted tourist visa, she has to wait until the INS deems it acceptable to grant the fiance` visa.
After they grant the fiance` visa, she has to come to the states immediately. From the moment she sets foot on US soil, we have 90 days to be married within. YOU TRY AND PLAN A WEDDING with no firm date, with 90 days to do it in, with the bride's mother on the other side of the world!

So many idiots (including Taco, he chose to post it) think it's a bug... so many complained to Microsoft that windows was making their broken 'puter play music... that M$ had to put up a page saying "really, this one's the BIOS guys, not us, really, gotta believe us"

more hi tech companies outside of the valley come out of Israel than anywhere else in the world. I've lived here for two years, and as an American, it's not hard to adapt. English is taught in the public schools from the second grade onwards, so communication isn't an issue, and almost all the hi tech companies here use english primarily in the office.

Marrying for the green card is fraud.
Normally, I am not an enemy of trying to obfuscate the government.
But I'm engaged to marry a non-techie Israeli.
I'm filling out forms day and night, and because they are so suspicious of fraud, it makes it harder.
SO QUIT ENCOURAGING FRAUD, it spoils it for the rest of us who really *want* to get married.
Stupid geeks, trying to subvert the system by fraud. It's like being a Script Kiddie, only Real-Life (TM)

So many idiots (including Taco, he chose to post it) think it's a bug... so many complained to Microsoft that windows was making their broken 'puter play music... that M$ had to put up a page saying "really, this one's the BIOS guys, not us, really, gotta believe us"
A host is a host from coast to coast

more hi tech companies outside of the valley come out of Israel than anywhere else in the world. I've lived here for two years, and as an American, it's not hard to adapt. English is taught in the public schools from the second grade onwards, so communication isn't an issue, and almost all the hi tech companies here use english primarily in the office.
if you buy a box of arm and hammer baking soda, and brush your teeth with that once a week, your yellow teeth will go away.
