You are trying to argue that H-1b workers are slave labor because sometimes (rarely) the employer accidentally learns that their employee has been looking for a new job and fires them.
Sorry, I never equated H-1B with slave labor.
That just makes no sense whatsoever. Why would the employer fire a supposedly ultra-cheap H-1b employee when getting a new one is going to cost them lots of money, time, and retraining? Any week or month they can squeeze out of that cheap employee is money saved.
Makes no sense to you, but it apparently made sense to them.
But since you started out with the false assumption that I had equated H-1B with slave labor...........
And how is having to leave the country any worse than having your home life wrecked or losing your home?
This has to be one of the most sophical statements I have ever seen. No wonder you posted anonymously.
If losing job = life wrecked and/or losing home.
Then wouldn't it be worse
(losing job) and having the added burden of packing up to leave the country.
(life wrecked and/or losing home) and having the added burden of packing up to leave the country.
With reasoning skills like yours, it's no wonder H-1b workers are eating your lunch.
After reading your post, you've convinced me. There might be room for at least one more H-1B visa holder.
In most cases, you are opening yourself up for liability by letting an employee stay on. If an accident were to happen and someone were to investigate and find you had an employee who was on his way out the door, you could be in for some trouble.
I would consider it a service to us both if they were to let me go when I said I'm leaving. So far it hasn't happened that way. But, I have been more than happy to sit in my office and do whatever they ask.
One place they had such a circus going on , which is why I left, they were blaming me for a project failure. A project, I never worked on or was ever asked to work on. A friend that worked there told me about it. I was so happy to be out of there.
They may be selling it like pancakes, but I have also seen an upsurge in dissatisfaction.
1) Why do I have to learn a new interface?
2) Why is user X not able to open my files. Why can't we open our shared files?
3) Why is our file corrupted.
This issue has become so great that department managers have been asking me if we can go to OpenOffice.
Current plan is to minimize purchases of systems with Office 2007 and switch to OO next year, after the new version with file sharing comes out.
Partly they are under skirting this law. Because it is just a place to store data and you can agree to store the data or have it put there.
But I agree that this is really a bad idea.
This would be equivalent to Chase bank using a third party to store financial information. They can just declare that to use web financing you have to agree to using the third party for storage of information.
There probably are laws against storing financial information in this manner, but maybe not health information.
Don't worry, in 10 or 15 years this will be common and nobody but a few people with tin foil hats will care.
But marketing wise, Linday Lohan and Britney Spears would be a great spokes people.
To the later no, I do much better than average.
To the former, It's like a weird form of dyslexia. I often go back and read stuff that I've written in a hurry or when I'm tired and say "What the hell was I saying?".
I shudder when I look at it.
Well age can make a difference depending on the experiences you have had since between the time you are 20 and the time you are 35.
I go back to when I was a grad student. I received my undergrad at one school and went to another for graduate school. I taught a physic course for undergrads. When I first started teaching them, I thought what a bunch of morons, where did they get these people. There idiots they can barely tie there shoes, much less learn Maxwells equations. During the next 2 years I met some of the students off and on and realized that we all started pretty much like that. It was reason gained through experience that made the difference. During 2 years they went from idiots that can't tie their shoes to very intelligent physicists. But there were also the ones that never learned from experience.
But in the mean time I have been complimented a number of times about my patience when teaching. A bunch of idiots taught me that.
Yes, but I have found that new versions of software often have bugs in them. Sometimes causing system failure.
If Suse or RH want to hold back on a new release or RH wants to jump up and be the beta tester for a new version then more power to them. I think that while Shuttleworth may be well intentioned, it would ultimately be a disservice to the linux community for multiple reasons. Security and reliability being the number one reason.
I really think Shuttleworth knows this and is making this statement more to get advertising for his distro than for anything else.
RH and Novell have large customers and are well acquainted with their needs. If in the process they find that certain packages cause problems, they may postpone a release. RH and Novell accepting a release cycle plan based on the communities "We just want to know" or "I have a dream", just isn't going to be a good business decision at this time. And I don't think it makes sense for the Linux Community as a whole either.
I actually stumbled across this last night on firehose or something. No comments had been posted yet and I thought it was a joke along the lines of something in the Onion.
I don't understand your moderation. I have been noticing a number of moderations that are off and getting stuck with Flamebait, troll...
I guess the Microsoft and Republican crowd are here.
rpm -aV
will verify all files. Look in the man pages under man rpm for what all the information spit out means. Sometimes it's not very practical.
But I have found that in most cases it is more practical than setting up tripwire.
The guy presenting it repeatedly used the word "intuitive" - even going so far as to say something like this:
"The buttons don't work the way you'd expect, but once you get used to it, it's really intuitive."
This is a lesson Open Source learned from MS. Repeat an untruth until it is perceived as the truth.
then they probably shouldn't be in school anyway. I live in the Dallas area. There are to many people around here that think school is a day care center for older kids.
Part of the problem is some poor teachers. I mean really poor. It's scary when a teacher can't pass the state exam after 6 tries and she's still there.
It's pretty shocking how bad some of these schools are.
And less than 30 miles away are some of the best schools in the country.
Where is the fun in that. I kind of like hearing one of those guys step on it a little to hard over New Mexico and Texas.
Yeah, there goes my 20 million dollar plane.
I mean I never get to see them drop bombs, but at least I get to see them tag and make some booms every once and awhile.
Looking at the release notes I still don't see support for Shared files. Until that is available most of my clients can't use it. On top of the fact that linux,XP,2000 with OO runs like 2007 on Vista.
Sorry, I mentioned Doctor's. I don't answer cell phones in the theatre either. I answer the call afer I get out of my seat and out of the theatre.
Geez, some people can't interpret that this is a euphamism for a mature individual that may actually have to stay in contact with their work.
A number of people here can't remember the good old days, where if you were on call you had to stay home to be near your phone. Oh and by the way you didn't get OT for this.
No, I'm saying that business professionals (doctors was an exaggeratoin) visit movie theaters. There business may require that they be available by phone. Doctors usually always have a 2nd on call.
Plus with cell phone technology being pervasive, the way business is done has changed.
I for one, am glad that I can be on call and not have to be stuck at home.
It probably has to do with the fact that medical doctors, sometimes visit movie theaters.
Whereas you have more freshman and sophmore sorority girls deciding what is an emergency in a college lecture hall. Movie theaters have this problem, but they have a higher concentration in college halls. I'm dating myself, but I can't imagine what it is like a teen girl in a class equipped with a cell phone ('The Horror').[There you go Mr. Culver].

After reading your post, you've convinced me. There might be room for at least one more H-1B visa holder.
The H-!B visa holder has 30 days to find a job here.
The others supposedly get to stay here.
How does this fit into your scenario. H-1B visa holder looks for another job? Current employer finds out and fires him immediately. This is reality.
In most cases, you are opening yourself up for liability by letting an employee stay on.
If an accident were to happen and someone were to investigate and find you had an employee who was on his way out the door, you could be in for some trouble.

I usually just put my tongue across the 26 connectors and turn the power on. If my penis doesn't tingle then the power supply is bad.
Just post it there. What could go wrong?
They may be selling it like pancakes, but I have also seen an upsurge in dissatisfaction.

I see they give MS public relations personnel moderation points now.
Dear MS,
With regards to helping improve Blender experience on Windows.
Publishing a SP that doesn't crash the users computers, would be a good start.
The guy presenting it repeatedly used the word "intuitive" - even going so far as to say something like this: "The buttons don't work the way you'd expect, but once you get used to it, it's really intuitive."

Well if you don't consider offspring as a rewrite and exclude evolution or changes occurring due to radiation.
Where is the fun in that. I kind of like hearing one of those guys step on it a little to hard over New Mexico and Texas.
