  1. Re:Where is the profit on Schmidt, Daughter Talk About North Korea Trip · · Score: 5, Informative

    Farmers in India can get weather and crop pricing information via SMS on their basic 'feature' phones. It is progress, even if it seems painfully slow to those of us who live in the west.

  2. Re:'gain a relative economical advantage'.. on Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force · · Score: 1
    Sometimes the facts are even more fun when we look at the publisher. http://www.forestinformation.com/aboutus/history.a sp

    Today, forestinformation.com is supported by the Wood Promotion Network (WPN)--a broad-based coalition of more than 320 wood products manufacturers, suppliers, customers and associations, all of whom share the vision that responsible, sustainable forest management helps keep North American forests abundant and growing.

    I couldnt find any other source which talks about increasing US Forest coverage.

  3. Re:Nails? on New Treo Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Graffiti is still available on the orignal treos. There is an application downloadable from Handspring (standard on later models) which enables the write directly on screen. It also echoes the strokes on the screen. Much better, imho.

  4. Re:Believe nothing without good evidence. on Browsing Privacy - Off With Your Headers! · · Score: 1
    You obviously missed the next line : My own opinion is that I think the initiators of violence are crazy, mentally de-centered.

    doesnt sound pro - Bin Laden to me.

  5. Re:Lego Dumbs It Down on Lego Vs. Meccano & Engineering Knowledge · · Score: 1

    My son has a collection of these "custom lego sets" . He simply puts them all into one big box and creates his own designs with all available parts. Initially I tried to get him to keep the sets apart, but soon found that this way is much better!

  6. Dont have to be indentured. on H-1B Tech Workers May Be Severely Underpaid · · Score: 1

    You are only identured if the you feel that you need a green card at any cost. I worked in the bay area for 6 years, switched jobs twice. Except for the fact that it took me upto 4 months to switch jobs, I did not have any problems.
    My last employer did not want to lose me when my 6 years were up, so I was relocated outside the US, working at an overseas branch. I may go back to the US /Silicon Valley after a couple of years, but havent decided on that yet. I do know that my manager expects me to be back .

    Dont forget - if they think you will do anything for a green card , you will be exploited. Tell them that you may go back and you dont care too much , and then they will then speed up the GC process etc. at least to keep you for sometime.

    And if you do go back to India , with your US experience, you can earn $1000 - $2000 per month in Bangalore, which has the buying power of 250,000 in Silicon Valley.
