  1. Re:what is the average H1-B wage? on Cringley: H-1B Visa Abuse Limits Wages and Steals US Jobs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That is easy to answer. They are paid the same as Americans. However, for the most part, they are much more supplicant. In other words, they'll kiss their boss' ass and we know how much they love that. There is a fear that they will be fired and forced to return home.

  2. Re:But on UK Gov't Official Advises Using Fake Details On Social Networks · · Score: 1

    For the most part, none of the information about me on any site is correct or consistent between sites. I like the idea of being a Muslim Communist in North Korea ( credit goes to f3rret ). I do not use any online sites for my financial, health or government needs. So far, snail mail, phone calls or showing up in person has done the trick.

    I am concerned about the day when I will be forced to used these sites. I get an email almost every month from bank to activate my on-line account.

  3. Re:drop in the bucket on Using Winemaking Waste For Making Fuel · · Score: 2

    I don't drive, so I don't buy gas, so really, I don't care much...

    Ah, but you see, you should care. Regardless of how much fuel you, personally, use, fuel contributes to the cost of everything you buy. Those Birkenstocks don't get delivered to your local store by storks. Even if they were, you'd have to feed them. That food has to be harvested... blah, blah, blah... I'm boring myself now, so I'm gonna go for a little drive.

  5. Re:The US government did it! on Huawei Offers 'Complete and Unrestricted' Source Code Access · · Score: 1

    Not sure why you were modded 'Troll', as you do have a point. However, it isn't an issue with a people or a group of people. It is an issue of this being a Communist Government with money. A lot of money. That is an insanely dangerous situation.

  6. Re:Sounds like Medicare in the US on China's Yearly Budget For High-Speed Rail: $100 Billion · · Score: 1

    Sorry, dude.

    I've worked in the health care field and Medicare and Medicaid are literally a license to print money. These systems are horrifically expensive and do not provide the kind of medical treatment you would want for your parents or grand-parents. We need something, but the existing system is making someone very rich and the elderly and poor are not getting the care they need.

    Sorry,Mom. They fraked... You watched that show? Okay, they screwed up Ubuntu. I'm moving you to Mint. Yeah, Mint. Like minty fresh. No, it won't get sassy with you, unless you want it to.

    Aren't you curious what God was up to before genesis? I mean, if God has existed forever, and the universe is just 6000 years old, then what the hell was he doing all the rest of that time?

    Yes, it is a time paradox, but this is God we're talking about.

  12. Why does anyone use PayPal? on Paypal Slips 'No Class Action' Clause Into Policy Update · · Score: 1

    They are a third party biller and as such, you can't dispute a billing error with your credit card company or bank. You must go to PayPal. That's why I stopped using them. All this other crap is just irrelevant silliness.

    As for eBay, I bid/buy things from sellers that take other forms of payment. However, eBay makes it very hard for vendors to accept other forms of payment.

    Who would of thunk that the selling of cute little Pez dispensers could lead to such evil.

  13. in 15 years... I'm retired and on the beach on A Day in Your Life, Fifteen Years From Now · · Score: 1

    and I will laugh my old geezer ass off at the quaint ideas they had 15 years ago.

    I'll get a fire started in the cave and do an early morning tresspasser patrol. I'll look up at the blue and pink sky, a holdover from the big one; a massive sun flare that send us all back to the dark ages. We couldn't handle that along with the severe thickening of the ozone layer, flipping of the poles, and the drop of 15 feet in the sea level as the poles froze up harder than the young hooker's ass in the next cave. The good part is, she trades a ride on that ass for a little food. I won't tell her that I'd feed her anyways.

    At least the members of the misguided 'Occupy Wall Street' organization put in the effort.

    So why is it that these mental midgets get elected?

    Regardless of what district they come from, why not heavily fund the competition in these elections?

    Maybe if that 'economic foundation' were undermined, the Internet would, once again, become a useful tool. I remember, all too well, the day that AOL opened the floodgates. The ads back then where simple, to the point and less obtrusive.

    Okay, I'll say it first.... "Get off my lawn."
