As an emplyer you have to demonstrate that you have a specific need to hire someone from out of the country. Barring that as an immigrant you can short circuit the process by depositing a large sum of money in a Canadian bank. I know the Canucks here will scream about that but that's largely the case. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong came over that way.
Anyway it has to make sense from the employees perspective. As others have noted here there wages are less and the taxes are more. It might not be in their economic self interest to do that. Perhaps, if the alternative is not working but again, then you have to demonstrate that you are in fact employable in Canada and someone has a job for you.
There are lots of countries that speak English if that's your concern: South Africa, India, Singapore, Taiwan, Jordan and South Korea for the most part. I'd mention Israel too but I'm sure that would attract the usual crazies to say crazy things.
you sound pretty fucking paranoid

Bobby Fischer Found

· Score: 2, Interesting
Mr. Fischer I'm sure could have called any US embassy in the world these past 10 years and asked to get it all straightened out. Instead he knowingly hid and travelled on a revoked passport making the case against him worse.
Would you propose that people you personally like should jump bail just because no puppies or Chomskyites were hurt in the process?
Couple that with neofascist political agendas and you have the Perfect Government Project.
Wait let me guess, the problem with the system is that it didn't spit back a list of names the administration already wanted it to spit back. Guess they'll have to fire the new Intelligence Chief cuz as we all know, the WH never lies.
Better we should let companies LIE because as you know the stockmarket done such a wonderful job with credibility, ethics and flat out performance for the last 4 years./. is officially a shitheap.
That stuff is pure amazing genius and I am just depressed when I realize how poorly our best desktop models have progressed.
Who remembers the Missouri Mule either?

Yeah I remember those huge assed 'overclocked' Missouri mules we brought over to France to make up for all their mules we ate while fighting the krauts in the trenches of The Great War (not that pussy WW2 shit). Yeah we never needed no damnfangled tractors. Yoy kids nowadays with your John Deere's and such. Shee-it, we had to FEED those mean fuckers and let me tell you that's a lot harder than turning a damn key and shouting at all the mexicans.
White supremacy is #1 Nazi is #2.....Isn't that what I was talking about er: Wiki when I said anyone can game the system to make anything you want a 'fact'?
Most of MS costs are labor - people. How you reduce labor costs is to pay less and pay fewer people.
Expect cuts. All this talk about how MS is no longer going to pay for shiatsu massages for your 'animal companion' is just their way of saying "Hey dickheads the 90's are really fucking over". Next stop - "Microsoft is just like everyone else, move to India or get fired!"
If nothing else this makes the case for implementing remote backup on a massive scale to the Great Big Tape Drive in the Sky. These Ginormous Silos are great for huge service providers that actually have a need to manage a few PetaBytes but they only make sense if you can connect huge numbers of backup clients to them (via a storage network SAN/NAS with lots of intermedia staging servers of course).
We've used these beasts on site and some of them are so large they need their own fire code certification.
I suppose that if you assume people are fair, no one has an agenda and people basically know everything more or less accurately then Wiki is fine. Problem is that none of that is true.
We live in the Post Editorial Age whereby any nugglet of infotainment is accepted as truth and fact and no one need rely on fact checkers, editors or referees that ensure that revisionism doesn't take precident over truth. So if I round up 10,000 of my closest net friends and I convince them to agree to say that say something then it pretty much becomes fact.
Eventually the internet will be a weapon for tyranny.
Really? Dogshit affects the volume purchase of CD's? Well then you're right. The motion picture industry should be free to pass a law regulating anything.
All you crytofascists defending the industry strictly on the basis that income doesn't matter, the law is the law are forgetting the most important aspect of creating regulations like this in the first place.
They are created to remediate a real or potential harm. Otherwise the motion picture companies could create regulations on how many hours a day you're allowed to look at the sky or how many dogs you're allowed to own.
But they don't because they can't connect the dots between hours of skywatching and dog ownership and their purported harm.
So in the case of your blessed motion picture industry putting the screws to everyone and everything in the name of revenue - - - guess what - - it's a lie and their original justification doesn't wash. Therefore the underpinnings of the regulation are flawed greedy nonsense.
In the 9 months' polar winter blackness of Lapland I went outside the Quonset hut to feed some more blubber to the huskies. But since we'd been drinking Aqavit for about 3 days I hadda drain the snake. And then a flash of inspiration hit me like a solid nitrogen iceball and I peed out the kernel code.
On a few a occasions I've purchased discounted eMachines computer bundles from BB to discover that a few rebate receipts were missing. When I went back and told them to fix it they're response was that such and such component was out of stock and that the replacement which they didn't tell me about, did not have a rebate. My response has always been a polite "Well that's not my problem, you need to get me the rebate" and they've always written me a store check for money (not a gift card) for the rebate amount.
OK so it's a pain to go back to the store and have to haggle with them but they've always made it right.
Dunno, I'm planning on getting a cheap-o Linspire machine to replace a 10 year old PC running Win95. This obviously runs fairly basic functions now: Netscape, Office apps, Burn CDs, Winmx likwe that. I will let y'all know if a disposable PC running a free OS and free apps is up to the task. I'm thinking yes and since I don't plan on madly installing and uninstalling things like a masturbating crack monkey I think that most of the 'getting this shit to work' problems can be avoided.

That's what I love about this country. If you do something like this, particulary at a state University, you could face felony charges.

Are they too fucking proud and do they imagine they are an unbiased bastion of Socratic wisdom?
They are fucking whores so let them pay for rankings like everyone.
Hey NYT - I have a new job for Jason Blair; Director of Google ranking.
I'm all for electronic harassment.
Record all of your complaints in wav format, copywrite your own words, and email them to the RIAA.
You fucking idiot.

I mean isn't that what stalker laws are for?
that's right. I get 31MPG average driving about 200 miles @ 81mph on the highway.
And as I walk through the express lane I will turn and show them
"Fuck all y'all bitch ass niggas!"
