Wrong. Windows (and Linux?) separate the address space into kernel and process space as a matter of convenience (no need to translate addresses in the kernel region). Other operating systems do not necessarily have this problem.
They ignored how a word is used as a term of art in a particular context. No, they didn't. Hard drives and the like have had capacities measured in multiples of 10 bytes as long as I can remember, which is long enough to establish a precedent.
Lies. Organizations that don't pay well but provide health insurance are full of health care freeloaders. Especially those that give a lot of sick time and expect that everyone will take it.
It doesn't matter to you that millions of people are unable to move to better jobs, even when those jobs are available, because they're dependent on their current employers for health insurance. This has not been the case for a long time. Actually I don't know how long HIPPA has been around but it's not the case any more.
As far as people not being able to afford treatment we should be figuring out how to reduce the cost of such treatment, not creating another wasteful government subsidy.
Why do you need private health care? I'm not trolling, but I thought it was illegal over there to provide your own.
As for what the other guy said it's no different here. Their real good at keeping people alive for an unnatural amount of time (given what's befallen them), but getting a doctor's appointment is a PITA.
I hate to make the same post twice, but there seems to be this misconception that US salaries do not include health care. In most cases (especially in software) a benefits package will pay the majority of these costs for a man and his family. This extra compensation is not generally included in salary figures.
You do however contribute 6 or something percent towards OTHER, (jobless, aged, disabled) people's health care costs, which is subtracted from your salary as a tax, although they don't call it that.
Contrary to popular belief many of us pay nothing or a token contribution to health care in the US -- at least directly. Instead of paying the government our employers pay a private company. Whether or not there are health care contributions that are subtracted from the salary quotation is going to depend on the shop.
Taxes are iffy. We do have nice highways. 40 cents of every dollar goes to the military, the utility of which depends on what the military is actually doing with it. This part is somewhat unique to America. Plenty of it is either wasted or squandered on giveaways to corporations, but cronyism seems to happen everywhere.
I can name a few essential things the (real) prices of which have skyrocketed since the 50's. It's not all about expectations.
1) Gas 2) Education 3) Housing
In all likelihood the parents are both working full time to be able to afford the sort of house that a teacher and a stay-at-home mom bought 50 years ago. Such as my grandparents. Find a couple like that today who can afford to live in the LA suburbs. Even if they could the only thing their children would learn in public school is spanish, so tack on another 14k/yr per if we intend for the cycle to repeat itself next generation.
Keeping your employees around is a very valid and important goal. Paying them more than you think they're worth initially is not a bad way to do it.
Truth be told, even experienced employees are going to take a few months to be productive in your particular environment. Unless you just stole them from your nearest competitor, I suppose.
Despite the "dual intent" doctrine and stories like yours, the H1-B is intended and structured to provide temporary labor as a method to deal with shortages, as directly opposed to paying higher wages, which will bring more citizens (and immigrants) into the business.
Therefore many of us feel it's a flawed system and would prefer real, legal immigration for skilled workers.
As a side note, I'd like to be able to afford a house in my area too. Perhaps if not for H1-Bs the prevailing wage (due to a shortage of workers) would be high enough that I could. There's evidence that while immigration is usually beneficial all around that this particular system encourages wage depression.
H1-B workers pay the U.S. cost of living, but don't expect the U.S. standard of living long-term. It's not about a right of citizens to make more than non-citizens, it's about the responsibility of the government to responsibly handle immigration.
Those who intend to stay in the U.S. forever face a difficult financial situation. In most cases just to provide for their children the opportunities that allowed them to become a professional in the first place, they will need raises to a more than entry-level salary, which they are less likely to get if they can be easily replaced with more temporary workers.
Now, I've been talking about H1s as temporary visas, which is what they are intended for. If we acknowledge that they are a path to permanent residence in many cases, then this devolves into an argument about immigration, which I suggest is a separate issue.
Yeah well unfortunately they settled it wrongly way more than a century ago so we're still going to have to debate it today. I'm glad, however, that someone else realizes that our civil war wasn't entirely about slavery.
But I guess that's a rant for another day. I'd say that's a rant for this day, considering how close we are to returns' due dates. And so I say, right on! Keep ranting. The bigger the forum the better.
Let's be real about it for a moment. This is just another attempt to take even more money from poor New Yorkers. Poor as in unfortunate not penniless. Whether or not they were supposed to pay the tax before is largely irrelevant.
Unfortunately you can't sue a state for not taxing. I've no references at the moment, but it was decided a while ago that you have no standing to sue solely by virtue of being a taxpayer. I don't believe citizenship counts for anything either. So next time you vote remember: these people can piss away your money however they please, and you can't sue them for it. Might want to trust them first, then.
I'm sure they stop somewhere per IP on taking out holds. However if many different boxes from various parts of the Internets were to start requesting random domains...
Windows swap generally goes on the same partition as the OS. Normal windows installations are entirely on one partition. BitLocker requires you to create two. I haven't implemented this, but it sounds to me like the swapfile would be on the encrypted partition.

When I can buy burritos with Wii points that will be cool.

Thanks to that other dude for whining about your site; by which I mean convincing me to click on the link. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Very true, you win the "basic understanding of economics" prize, which seems to have eluded the submitter.
The worst situation is for those who work in the UK but get paid in dollars (usually Americans.)

So if I buy a CD I'm free to put it on my bookshelf but not play it?
Nope, first sale applies to the content. That's the whole point of it.

Maybe you should work in another country if you want to work for wages commensurate with the cost of living in another country.
Of course root exists.

I'm pretty sure NY already does this. See the poster above. Might want to double check your returns if you live in that state.
