    Yeah I can't imagine any patient in that state wanting anything other than death.

    I agree. Recovery my ass.

    The old joke was that lead lifejackets were 1SO 9000 compliant ... as long as you write down that they're made of lead.

  5. US companies generally don't want to set up shop in some foreign country.

    They can just set up a branch office or subsidiary, mainly staffed with locals but with maybe one or two aspiring VPs to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't steal the furniture.

  6. Is it better in that respect than any other respin of Dead Rat 6?

    Genuine question, posting this from CentOS.

    It's the [sic] IT's job to do whatever the company requires.

    You appear to be confusing "what the company requires" with "what some shitcock from marketing wants".

    As I understand the proposed law, you CAN bring them in from Bangalore IF you can show you can't hire them in the US ... AND you pay them a high enough wage.

    That was the old law, it just wasn't enforced. Ever.

    If I have one doubt about that I will revert the same.

  11. Get a work or residency permit, green card, a legal job and eventually you will be able to apply for citizenship, if you desire.

    You don't keep up with current affairs much, do you?

  12. Don't get your hopes up. Remember the wall?

    Name one quality 'beer' containing wheat, corn or rice?

    Logic fail. I never claimed that it was a necessary or sufficient condition to be a quality beer.

    However, Hoegaarden Grand Cru. If that tastes sour to you it's because you're a fat ponce.

    If you were half as knowledgeable as you pretend to be you'd know that the original point of the law wasn't directly to do with beer at all - it was to ensure some cereals were reserved for bread so the poor wouldn't starve.

    Mind your head - shovel coming down.
