no, that will not happen.
The requirement is not just to show the card. the requirement is to SCAN the card in the reader. Every employer will have to submit electronically the results of the scan to DHS as proof that the employees are authorized to work.
There is no need for MMS in the iphone since you can send and receive email, and you can send email to a phone. For example for tmobile it is your_number@tmomail.net
I think the rates that Emirates will charge are about $2 per minute. not bad compared to Airphone rates, but still expensive enough to make most people cautious about long use. Most likely on top of the $2 per minute, the carrier will also bill you for international roaming.
for that reason, Smarmatic, the company that sells the electronic-fraud voting machines used by Hugo Chavez has its ownership very hidden from the public. Some journalists have tried hard to find who owns Smarmatic and it's been impossible, since they are shielded behind a web of trustees and corporations to avoid scrutiny.
You have the right to do whatever you please with your copies of a movie, but you're not allowed to modify them and re-distribute/re-sell them. You were not granted a license for that. The reason behind this lawsuit is that if there is a market for sanitized films, the movie industry want it for themselves since they own the content already.
I don't think China has to worry about a brain drain yet, It is true that many students don't return, but most keep very strong ties with China for all their lives, and keep sending money to relatives and invest there.
If the diaspora were truly disconnected from their homeland it is definitely a loss for the coutry, but if they keep the links, by sending remittances, travelling, promoting exchange, there are benefits.
before you continue with your pro-chavez rant, you should inform yourself better. A week ago, 4 patients died in a PUBLIC hospital because of lack of oxygen supplies. The hospital didnt have money to pay the bill. The health system in venezuela is in ruins, despite what the propaganda says. So it would be good if my "democratic" president decided to FIX our poor third world country instead of giving away OUR MONEY to foreign countries. WE NEED IT. but what do you know? you're surely living in a first world country, praising a "revolution" that doesnt affect you.
I agree.
All these discussions assume that the rest of the world is people living in rags barely eating, without electricity or roads, living in isolation in a hut, breeding 15 babies per women, begging once again for the return of their white masters to bring the wonders of the internet so they can grow food and become more US/european
Hey, I come from a country in the developing world. People eat, and wear clothes, and we have paved roads, and cell phones and malls, and online shopping and other "first world" amenities. and the "poverty" we have is not because not everybody has a computer, and it will not dissapear just because people can log in to check hotmail from their homes. (Internet cafes are very popular with cheap prices). Our problems have to deal more with a basic lack of confidence in the goverment and the economy, which discourages investment and job creation.
yeah, us$ for comparison.
Same thing, only rich affluent people buy brand computers, and a mac is a rare luxury item.
The cost of broadband internet access has come down a bit though, they charge $30 a month for 256 kpbs.
that makes sense.
Now that I think of it. I remember years ago that I visited the border with some friends.There are two towns, in each side. I remember vividly that the people living in the sister town in the venezuelan side, Santa Elena, used to buy meat in the brazilian town, while the brazilians used to cross to buy cheap gasoline.
How much is a computer? a cheap white box no brand one? in Vzla, it's around $700 for a celeron and $1500 for the cheapest laptop.
Can you REALLY eat in a really good grill restaurant in Brazil and get totally wasted with ONLY $10??
Im from venezuela and this is also a poor country, but food and living expenses are way out of line with the low salaries. (a meal in a cheap restaurant is much more than 10 bucks, average $20). Food is still cheaper than in the US, but still expensive for the average income. Thats why it's a poor country. is Brazil different?

I read the site, and basically it is whining. yeah, towns like Hempstead in texas had their local economy die when a bypass for TX-6 was built, but guess what, College Station is booming now with new business and activity, even with the highway out of town.
well Google has to comply with the regulations of that country, just as companies in the US comply with US regulations. The little experience i have in life tells me that, chinese people, like most people in the world are way more interested in working and making money than worrying about censorship,
How do you clasify in there countries in latin america, like venezuela, colombia, or brazil, with a lot of poverty, mostly urbane, little rural population, high literacy level, many universities, a middle class with a reasonable purchasing power etc?
lumping together Eritrea with Brazil as third world countries doesnt make sense at all.
i think you are missreading the numbers.
The Google's number just tells you that 51% of the their users are with XP. It is not a measurement of market share, nor units in use or anything remotely similar.
if MS released the numbers of their MSN search site, I'm sure it would be soemthing like 80% or more XP users since many windows users just use the Msn search defaults in IE.
in my department, we have a very good technical writer who checks and helps in every technical paper to be published from students or faculty. so the job can be much more than just writing help files for programs.
In Venezuela the same situation is happening, but the market forces are taking care of it. The excess of people selling pirate cds have pushed the price so low that it's no longer profitable to sell them and recover the costs of the media. Now the business is in selling customised cds with the specific music tracks you want.
it was a matter of time before free trade and zero control in capital flow affected the well paid middle class in the US. Now, since few high salary jobs are created, the purchasing power of that middle class slowly erodes as the unemployed relocate to lower paying jobs. I wonder the implications of this for sectors like tourism that depend highly on that middle class purchasing power.

that's false. Cuba's economy was floated by the Soviet Union and now, it is floated by Hugo Chavez massive handouts.
