we're not getting a lot of immigrants from Rwanda,
It's kind of hard to walk here from Rwanda. I know, I tried. It's very wet, and after a while I couldn't breath.
And as to placing the penalty on those who do the hiring, that has its own problems. First, that's the way it's done now. They just sentenced someone from China who ran a local restaraunt for hiring illegals here in Springfield. That tactc isn't keeping illegals out, now is it?
Weird, this hasn't been federal law since the 1950s.
However Arizona passed such a law a little while ago, and it's been quite effective.
The question is whether or not you are serious about the problem. If you just want to arrest illegals or deport them, you are not serious. They're not the problem. They wouldn't be here if they couldn't find jobs.
It never ceases to make me laugh how hard people fight to keep immigrants from doing jobs that they would never do, not in a million years. If you're worried about their treatment, then make it legal, give them the right to sue over poor conditions and workplace injuries.
But if I did that, who would I ever get to mow my lawn?
You don't seem to understand. If you're a manager working for DHS, what future do you have?
If you do it yourself, you'll just be a manager of a larger group with more work, but no more pay.
If you hire Boeing, at least you know you'll be able to quite DHS in a few years and get a nice cooshy job as VP of Product Oversight for $1.5/mil a year for life, because of your aid in getting them the $4 billion contract.
Catch an illegal and send him back, and that's all. If they really wanted to make the illegal aliens stay away, all they'd have to do would be to make illegal entry in this country a felony with a mandatory five year prison sentense for a first offense, fifteen years for a second offense and thirty for a third offense.
Let me see if I understand this. I'm in some country starving to death, and your answer to keep me out is to threaten to throw me in a prison where I get 3 squares a day and a bed to sleep on, much less clean water, showers and such.
I'm so there! Thank you! Thank you! And maybe we can use the immigrants to hire the millions of prisons we're going to need to house them all.
How about we place the penalty on the person doing the hiring?
In an interview, newly minted Windows consumer marketing vice president Brad Brooks said that Microsoft had been testing lower prices over the past few months and was surprised to find that the amount of revenue lost was more than made up for by an increase in the number of PC buyers willing to shell out for an upgrade.
Didn't they learn this lesson with the Student/Teacher version of Office?
Well, this is the "lesson" the Bush administration thinks they learned from Vietnam. But isn't it interesting how it's not really working? 70% of the nation is ready to pull out of Iraq.
The American public will support a war which is either necessary, or we are winning. But if the war is not necessary, and we are not winning, then there will be a demand to get out.
A big mistake from Vietnam, is using rhetoric to try to convince the American people that the War of Choice is actually a War of Necessity. Eventually people get wise and realize "Hey wait a minute, these guys aren't going to come over here and kill us. They just want to kill each other." and they stop listening to all the bluster.
Imagine if they looked in our basements... I can hear the cross examiner already: "sir, can you explain to us what made you so angry that you shot this Compaq server 382 times with a.22 rifle? Do you usually shoot things that annoy you?

I didn't quite understand this at first, and I'm still not certain how it will benefit people designing pages to work with the new IE8 standards when we have users with older browsers. But I do agree that moving forward, it makes tremendous sense.
It also benefits every other browser out there, so this isn't an IE only thing.
When you build the bridge, you know how long it is and how many cars/trucks it will need to support.
To take the bridge analogy to software. You start out building a bridge over the Mississippi, that will handle 10,000 cars an hour or somesuch. When you're done the client tries to place your bridge across the English Channel, and land 747's on top of it.
If one looks at the history of the argument, it came to prominence around the time of WWI, and mostly starts as a critique against Social Darwinism.
It also serves as a critique against the Nazi belief of the Master Race, and so on.
In this regard, I suspect then the reason it's mostly an American phenomena has to do with the social structures we live under. In much of Europe, there still is a monarchy even if it is relegated to ceremonial status. So there's a inherent acceptance that some people are born just better than other people. The exact opposite condition is true in America, as rather there is a kneejerk reaction against any suggestion that having the right parents makes you better.
This is obviously over simplifying it, but in discussions I have had with evolution opponents, this is the heart of the issue even if most cannot articulate it or do not understand it themselves.
Apparently you are not informed that without a method of making a hole large enough for a man or car to fit through, rapidly i might add, to the side of the plane, it will NOT explosively depressurize. Go look it up, google is your best friend my uninformed fellow slashdotter.
"Now if the bullet hits a cabin window, it could I suppose take out pane completely and then there would be a real problem. That would be enough air whooshing out fast enough to cause a complete depressurization, someone could be extruded through the open window frame (it has happened) and some people wouldn't get their masks on fast enough to keep from passing out."
Wow, and that's even a link from a gun nut site. So you can't claim the usual "Teh liberal bias is out to get me! helpppp me mamma!"
Or you didn't think someone who is intent on suicide may not just point the gun right at the window and blow it out? you thought they were going to stand up and yell "Don't move or I shoot"?
Some idiots around here have been watching 24 a bit too much.

strawman? Looked to me like you were having fun playing with statistics.
He said there had been a backlash against ruby in blogs, not necessarily amongst startups who are looking to be buzzword compliant.
Going from 1 user to 6 users may be 600% growth, but I'll take 2% of all jobs posted versus .02% for $1,000, Alex.
I'm sure Jimmy Carter will not be terribly upset.

I wouldn't really call Bush the favorite villain.
He's simply the poster child for incompetent government.
But if I did that, who would I ever get to mow my lawn?
I sure don't want to have to do it!

Hence the 70% opposition.
I would hardly hold up Whole Foods as an example in Ethics

He didn't literally wreck the place. He simply carved his initials into all of the furniture.
A dingo ate the emails.
Maybe they bought a submarine on ebay?
Considering a search for 8-track player yields 371 results over at ebay right now, I'm not sure that is a huge problem.
That sounded like a bullshit claim. I've shot .22lr and even it could go through drywall.
;-)
Maybe he's thinking a 5.56mm compressed air pellet gun or something.

It's all about the requirements.
This was clearly by design.
Everybody knows if you lose enough money, the government will step in and give you billions. It's the American Way!

Sheesh

Yeah, sure, ok, so American television repeats the same story about Britney 20 times a day.
But maybe the simpler answer is we really don't care what Britney Spears is doing?
Google is your friend, moran
