There already is a requirement that H1B get paid according to the prevailing rates. Not necessarily within that company (a company could have a policy to pay 110% of prevailing rates, but pay the H1B holders 100%), but you can't just hire an H1B engineer and pay him minimum wage.
Why 'should' we be able to? You think the laws of physics work like they do in Star Trek where all you have to is wish hard enough?
Look, I'm just a caveman blah blah blah, but in my world heat = energy which can be recovered, and geothermal taps a constant temperature, not steam.
No, I honestly don't have the foggiest notion what a compressor does
Apparently. If you knew what a compressor does, you would not be recommending refrigeration equipment when clearly what is required is audio equipment.
This sounds a lot more like your average software salesperson than it does anything nefarious or political.

"Absolutely! In fact, it had that in the last version, and this one's even better!"

And now we're supposed to just sit back and watch as we all get our arms broken by sore loser wookies? No fucking thank you, I'll stick with my monitor.
If you RTFC, you'll realise it limits the federal government for "the people" not just citizens.
Good to know. I'll make sure to advise the local officials of that next time I'm in some other country. I will bet they will be very happy to learn that our laws apply everywhere.
After I added a lager (1/4 or 1/8 wave) antenna to my receiver, I could type with my keyboard outside the house.
After I added a lager to my receiver, I also could type from outside the house, but when I finally went back in, the receiver was belligerent, and insisted on driving the car though it was in no state to do so.
Do we need to travel to and from work everyday when all we do is manipulate information?
Yes, because there is a substantial set of the population that, when faced with the question of whether to manipulate information or manipulate other things based on the wide variety of porn at their fingertips, will choose to manipulate themselves.
Which is not to say that there aren't plenty of people who just jerk off all day anyway.
I don't do BitTorrent to get television shows or movies.
Me either, and for the same (basic) reasons as you. It is a pain in the ass. Download a show/movie, then I have to burn it to a DVD if I want to watch it on my TV which I do want, which means I'll probably have to either downgrade the quality or remove a bunch of the extras, etc., etc., etc. It's not worth it, I'd rather either go without or wait until what I want shows up on On Demand or something.
As it is, they are a lovely working example of the power and value of the collective and proof that government can work. Republicans hate libraries.
Ah yes, and they also want to pave the streets with puppy blood instead of asphalt.

You may want to visit a library some time to do some research on what a library is. It's a community resource to be sure, but socialism? I mean, it's obvious from your post that you love both libraries and socialism (though one wonders if you were so well read, how would you become a socialist...), but really. Maybe you've just overdosed on some poetry books and are working through some hyperbole fetish?
You know, I hope people keep this incident in mind if they are considering going to work for a disreputable company, a company whose primary missions is screwing people, especially when those people that are being screwed have a Robin Hood-like reputation and are a lot smarter than you
Wait, are we talking about MediaDefender or the IRS?
Given that you are on/., I can assume that you don't even read articles (I know I don't). Therefore, I can assume that you would not read Education Reform Proposal #108 either, and would only read the summary. You would end up voting "yes" when had you read it, you would realize that you voted for $1 for education, and $1,000,000,000 for a cheese museum.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. I honestly don't mind income tax or sales tax (I mind that we have both, and the degree of income tax, but not the idea of either, in principle), but property tax infuriates me.
A land/property tax is the worst kind of tax. What you've just suggested is eliminating all private property ownership, instead leasing your property from the government.

Because you are a design shop, not a software development shop, and you do not want to spend $500,000 to save $50,000.
Reality has no bias. But I do, and I think Stephen Colbert is overly worried about bear threats.

Never underestimate the Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Not only that, but steel is also slightly less flammable than wood (or paper).
Well, the solution to that problem doesn't revolve around air bags, it revolves around not dating 11 year olds.
