As much as most of us would like to fight it , at some point the US will not have any other choice but to Unionize IT workers. This is basically the same as what happened to labors, they were working long hours for low pay, and replaced by cheaper labor. This is exactly what is happening with H1B's , cheaper labor is forcing Americans to take lower wages for the same work.
They are specifically talking about people right out of college with a CS degree. Any one in the field will tell you 4 years of hands on experience out weights 4 years of academic work. Once they are our of college, you now have to re-train that grad to do real world work.
In my experience the pay rate was well under what private companies pay, and for some one who is worth their salt they would jump at a private company that is going to pay them 30% more + stocks and better medical benefits. Hiring some one for a position takes 2-3 times as long to process paperwork, and if they have not been offered another position with a private company, the laugh at the offered salary.
Exactly, either way your going to continue to hemorrhage cash on this, however having in house devs document and create the modules you need will help in the long run as a point of contact to upgrade, patch, and improve upon. Having contractors will get you what you need in the short term but your going to pay extra just for changing the icon to cornflower blue.
This article was published Jun 24, 2014, a day later an article states Japan Moves to Fast-Track Cars Powered by Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Coincidence? I think NOT!
I would think that would be much higher taking into consideration politicians, pro athletes and college mattress actresses that want to clear their past.
Linux engineers would have no problem learning Windows stuff
Quite the opposite, I work with allot of high caliber Linux engineers , and one of the most difficult challenges is getting them to understand windows and how operate it. When they continually try to 'grep' files instead of using power-shell, 'ls', or even 'nano' a text file. They tend to flock to OSX that offers them and environment that is more like the environment they are used to.
The over all issue, repeated here is that Windows admins are cheaper than Linux admins. Any Linux admin worth their salt is not going to take the low paying desktop job that a college grad might take as a first real world job.
we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready
You will have this forced upon you at some point
Some of you have suggested we're not listening; on the contrary, some of us are 'listening' pretty much full-time.
and ignoring any suggestions because we are owned by Dice, and this is how they want it
because we're a community and we want to take everyone with us.
and advertise crap to you
Why? We want to take our current content and all the stuff that matters to this community and deliver it on a site that still speaks to the interests and habits of our current audience, but that is, at the same time, more accessible and shareable by a wider audience.
and advertise crap to you
And we want a platform where we can experiment with different views of both comments and stories.
and sell your information, and advertise crap to you
It's not an either/or. It's going to be both.
So shut up and take it
If we haven't communicated that well enough, consider this post a first step to fixing that.

It strange to see this as my non apple hardware does not appear to be having this issue.
What else would you expect from Dice.com?
Why not just call it Linux.
Well if Dice.com said it, then it must be true!
Neither are going to happen, so move along and focus on something that CAN happen.
excuse me while I RTFA to get a clearer picture of the picture clearing it self by picture clearing.

So Fuck You and thanks for all the Fish
Exactly you cannot preach logic, reason and facts to people that think logic, reason and facts are the work of the Devil.
This post should have been put into the "Let me Google that for you" section, but gdek did that already :-P
