A Canuck here. In the US as a F1 international student, you are eligible to work on campus only, for no more than 20 hours per week. On campus jobs typically are extremely low wage (typically lower than that at McDonalds or Burger King. On campus employment can be authorized by the school. Off campus employment is not permitted unless you have received special authorization from CIS.
There are other "Financial Hardships" CIS paperwork that can be used to apply for off campus employment. That's assuming you can find a job.
It's a bit of a double edged sword... You can't apply for employment authorization, until you have a job position secured. The paperwork is usually about a 4 month process. Most employers when they are hiring, generally want someone "right now" and not in four months (unless they typically hire international students and are prepared for that "waiting period.")
H1-B visas are expensive and very specific. Your job position can not change, you can't get promoted, or even get a raise. If you do, the visa needs to be re applied for. If someone is in the process of their application for a green card, they are locked where they are. If they need to leave the country (i.e. to go to a family members funeral, etc) the whole process is aborted, and needs to be restarted. The same thing if their position changes. Last time I checked, it was close to a 6-7 year process to apply for a green card.
What is worse, when you talk to CIS, you can get a different answer for the same question depending on who you talk to. That is extraordinary frustrating experience, especially when you find that out when you are denied entry at the border. And those border guys? They have absolutely NO sense of humor what so ever.
It's not the easy process that people think it is when you are do it legally...
I haven't purchased a CD or MP3 (iTunes or the likes) for about 6+ years now... It's not because I'm getting my music illegally like the RIAA would like to think.. It's because absolutely nothing has held my interest long enough to make me want to go out and buy it. Anyways, the radio plays music to ad-nausiam that I'm sick of the music before I even get a chance to buy the CD/MP3
So, quite honest, I'm not the least bit surprised.
But two things, one would be that shop classes are generally taken by students who have experience with that sort of stuff and enjoy that. Physics though is taken mostly by people who have very little practical knowledge of the subject at hand (nothing beyond calculations and such), and yes, while playing with welding torches when you do get hurt you get hurt bad, almost anyone who solders gets burned at least slightly with any major project.
My, my, my how the education systems have changed. When I was in grade 8 (junior high-school back in those days) we were required to take home-ec (aka sewing and cooking classes) and IE (industrial education) which consisted of both wood and metal work.
Because of that experience, I took a woodwork class for the remainder of my high-school career. Had I not been exposed to that, I would have never even considered doing it. It was one of my favorite courses in high-school, second only to computer science.
Still till this day, I even appreciate the sewing class I was required to take. Loosing a button, or needing to darn a sock never phased me.
Too much of school nowadays is focused on just preparing one for a job and only what one thinks they are interested in. In grade eight, I thought I wasn't interested in woodwork and I would have never been considered the shop/IE type. As a result of that, I have absolutely no problem picking up a saw or hammer, or sitting in-front of a sewing machine, cooking a real meal (aka not just heading a can of soup) or even picking up a grinder or blowtorch. Had I not been exposed to that, I wouldn't be able to change the oil in my car, or change a tire, which I see far too often that kids today are unable to do; let alone know how to provide a jump-start.
I burned myself, in public school, in high school physics, while soldering. Pencil iron was sitting funny in the stand, so I grabbed it, as you would grab a pencil but just in front of the grip. 5 minutes later I was in my chemistry class and it was a scantron final... get out your number two pencils... hurts to think about. seriously though, if they can have shop classes with welding I am sure they can have soldering.
I remember my instructor saying, "I will only tell you this once. The soldering iron is hot, make sure your careful you pick it up properly (aka not by the hot end)...If you choose not to listen to this advice, odds are you will only do it once."
I listened and still did it... and like he said, I've only done it once....
I actually value *vertical* resolution much more than horizontal revolution. Currently I use a 1280x1024 monitor and wanted to upgrade to something with more vertical pixels. Apparently, I need to get a 24" monitor to get 1900x1200, which is just huge.
And I was thinking that I was the only one that had that opinion. Vertical resolution is far more important to me also. I get so disappointed when looking for laptops with all these low vertical resolutions 16:9 screens. When you come from running 1600x1200 CRT, and compromise and come down to 1280x1024; this is difficult... And to drop down to 900px for the standard laptop? That is absolute horrible.
I can understand that 16:9 resolutions are great for watching DVDs, but come on, I didn't buy a screen/laptop with the intent to watch DVDs, I bought it to do work on. It seems like screens like this have become the exception rather than the rule. It's sad when your forced into a screen dimension that does work well for your desired application.. Yeah, yeah, I know if I want to pay ungodly amount of $$$ you can find it. Is it that unreasonable to ask for a resolution that is not just a glorified DVD player.

The truth is, Bush didn't ban stem cell research. Bush didn't even ban embryonic stem cell research. He only banned federal level funding for it. The States and the private sector were free to do as they pleased.
Yet, for any treatment to be used in the mainstream would require some form of federal approval/oversight. In the process to get that approval, research would need to be conducted with federal funds. Since no federal funds would be available to approve the treatment(approval would require at minimum some research funded by federal funds) you have pretty much eliminated any potential/mainstream use of that non-federally-funded research.
Feds: "So, private sector, research all your like, just don't expect to get federal approval if you use embryonic stem cells in your treatment." It essentially closes the door on any embryonic stem cell treatment being approved by federal government.
They have you looking at the short term as the red herring, not the long term.
Common sense would say that TWC/Embarq doesn't have a leg to stand on since the City of Wilson went to them and asked for a particular service that they had clear specification that TWC/Embarq refused to provide. CoW found another way through the creation of Greenlight, and now TWC/Embarq has their panties in a bunch, complaining about competition? You have got to be kidding me. Take some !@#$!#$ responsibility for the business decision you made in not offering the service that was proposed. You lost a sale. Grow up and get over it!
The monopoly that you had lulled you into a false sense of security that you didn't need to provide service that your customers wanted. How can you honestly be surprised?? If you don't provide what the customer wants, they will find what they want elsewhere. Why are you surprised. Ohh, because that sense of superiority and the "Why would anyone go anywhere else?" or "Where else can they go?" You sound just like the US auto industry did in the mid '70s and '80s when the import market began to take off.
It just another example that supports that government listens to big money.
TWC/Embarq: Go whine, flap your money, get your legislation passed, get your bail out dollars and just STFU.
So "someone" had downloaded a few terabytes... Has anyone thought about what if some of the design/code has been changed? I would view that as a major threat also. Imagine a bug in the fire control systems that would prevent a weapon from firing when a certain signal is received? Or a limiter that would impact maneuverability during combat situation? We see this sort of thing with malware/spyware/adware all the time. Is it that inconceivable to see it in this kind of situation? What if the data breech is the red herring?
I personally think this aspect has been missed with the whole DATA BREECH drama. Not saying the data breech isn't important, I'm would also be concerned about the integrity of the data accessed. There seems to be only the concern for reverse engineering of the data, no one seems to be concerned about modification of the data.
Until they figure out to attack the blurred out spots.(rolling eyes)
What's next maps? Phone books with addresses? GPS units? School & hospital promotional fliers? No more school websites, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Tell you what "Mr. Anderson" (obligatory Matrix reference), how about you bury your head in the sand to keep yourself safe from terrorists. After all, if you can't see them, they can't see you.
The main problem here is the claim of the right to sublicense. As a professional photographer, if taken literally, it would mean I would be unable to offer an exclusive license to anyone because FB can sublicense.
I know a lot of photographers who are very reluctant to post their work on FB because of their idiotic TOS. And, potentially, FB could be very useful as a marketing tool for photographers.
I'm glad that someone brought this up. While I'm not a professional photographer, I do occasionally sell/license pictures that I've taken for others to use. For this very reason I've been very reluctant to upload any pictures to any service (facebook, myspace, yahoo, yadayadayada, etc.)
And this is the thing that really p!$$e$ me off, that every ToS has that clause in the writing that the ToS can be changed at any time, and you automatically be bound to the new agreement. And I don't recall being notified about this change in the ToS, and had I been, I would have closed my account before the new ToS took effect. But they don't notify.
I almost T-Boned a lady one morning when I was not on the cell phone because she was clearly distracted by her cell phone- she was looking at me in horror holding her phone up to her head as I braked from about 35mpg to a stop less than 10 feet from her.
Realize that there is no such thing as "Job Security" anymore. There is someone who is willing to do your job for cheaper than you, around every corner. In stead of thinking in terms of "Job Security" think of it as "Employability." You might not have the same job, with the same company, but you will have "employment" somewhere. Keep your skills current, your resume' up to date, and you will be fine.
Working your way up the ranks in a company tends to be a thing of the past.
I can't remember which, but after the Code Red or one of them from that era, wasn't there a 3rd party modified version that automatically installed the remover and patches? Remember the outcry? I do, because it ended up screwing up a mission critical system.
I'm sorry, I have enough problem keeping Windows Update from trying to update my system before I'm able to test the patches. If things were truly "roll backable" perhaps I would feel differently. To many times I've been bit by this patch breaks this critical piece of software, and no recourse except to rebuild the machine.
Not my idea of a party. Besides, Black Hats are already doing this... Now a White Hat is going do to it... Now they they are both doing it, how do we know the difference anymore? Are the White Hats going to disclose what they are doing? How do we know the difference? What if a Black Hat poses as a White Hat?
It just sounds like yet another exploitable method of a phishing scam.
Quite honestly, keep the HE77 off of my computer, and don't think that just because you claim to be a White Hat you have the right to worm your way into my computer.
1: Post tinfoil had wearing comment against RIAA w/ paranoid conspiracy theories embedded.

3: Wait for RIAA members to distribute your conspiracy threoy in music (Of course I'm a tinfoil hat wearing parinoid bastard, they didn't think I'd watermark my conspiricy theory)
5: Extract your embeded water mark from RIAA's embedded watermark
5:....

[TinFoilHat:ON]
So I go out to the store, buy a little card, scratch off the number, go to Sony's website, type in that number, and download my song. It can't be that simple or easy.
Let me make a prediction, you now have to create a sign in (name, address, and CC number to verify your address, etc) and they also record your IP address when you download your music. Perhaps it's my paranoia of Sony (from their past *tricks*) but I'd be willing to bet somewhere in the MP3 that you download that little "code on the card" is contained within that MP3 file and thusly is attached to your login ID (and associated information that goes along with it) and IP address (now your IP isn't just tied to any random person that may used that computer like p2p sharing is), now they are tied to a specific account(read:YOU.) This is no longer 3rd party information they have to jump through the legal hoops to to get, it's their own DATA, to use as they please for their own little war against piracy.
So now if your DRM free file shows up elsewhere (ie p2p network), they know exactly who they need to go after. After all, I'm sure embedded in within the terms of service, or conditions of download that you *MUST* agree to before you can download the music file that you are responsible for keeping that file safe and secure and are responsible for what ever damaged and lost of revenue to Sony it may incur; and I'm sure there will be some clause about binding arbitration (of course to fit their *EVIL* plans)
[TinFoilHat:OFF]
Too much information for the far too evil corporation.
[ToungeInCheek:ON]
But one thing I will give Sony credit for, they have likely stopped the p2p sharing of this DRM free music by studying the demographics of the people that use p2p.... I mean, Britney Spears, Barry Manilow, and the Bee Gees? The choice right there will prevent piracy due to just plain shame of even admitting ones owns one of those albums..... Absolutely F'n brilliant on Sony's part!
[ToungeInCheek:OFF]
Nope, I will stick with my choice to not purchase Sony Music, or if by that chance that it's somthing I really want, I will purchase the CD and use it only in a stand alone CD player. If I want it on my MP3 player that bad, I'll record it to tape, and convert the tape to MP3. It's already a lossy format and my ears aren't that good anymore. (DAMN YOU SONY!!! and YOUR DAMN WALKMANS TOO)
In Sony-iet Russia, the DRM frees you! [Frees you to get sued]
