Those very same H1-B workers from 1998 are now all citizens.
Heh, would like to know what the statistics on them keeping their jobs after they get citizenship. Wouldn't be surprised if they're out looking looking for work like the rest of us overpriced 'merkins after being replaced with a fresh H1-B.
You will probably give up quickly because you are a lame n00b that gets ate by skeletal crocodiles or starve to death. You will most certainly not make it to the point where you make a !!magma!! cannon to shower your enemies with hot death from above.
Yea, you can camp spawns all day, but can you build a pressure plate activated super computer?
If people don't want their information to be used that way, well maybe they shouldn't make their lives a matter of public record on the internet.
Yea, when the bank goes to check your online social history you'll be punished for not having one. "OMG, a social recluse!, probably a terrorist, lets report them to the FBI." With the way things are going these days, do you expect anything less batshit crazy?
I think this story is a little old now, oil is already at Key West.
Coast Guard: Tar Balls Found Off Key West, Fla.
POSTED: Monday, May 17, 2010 UPDATED: 11:26 pm EDT May 17, 2010
KEY WEST, Fla. -- The U.S. Coast Guard says 20 tar balls have been found off Key West, Fla., but the agency stopped short of saying whether they came from a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Some 5 million gallons of crude has spewed into the Gulf and tar balls have been washing ashore in several states along the coast.
Scientists are worried that oil is getting caught in a major ocean current that could carry it through the Florida Keys and up the East Coast.
The Coast Guard says the Florida Park Service found the tar balls on Monday during a shoreline survey. The balls were 3-to-8 inches in diameter.
Coast Guard Lt. Anna K. Dixon said no one at the station in Key West was qualified to determine where the tar balls originated. They have been sent to a lab for analysis.

Err, you better have the storage capacity to back up those spinning drives too. People do dumb crap, like drop their notebook, or kick their tower over on accident, and sometimes this will kill the drives instantly. The SSD is much more likely to survive such an event. On unmanaged systems most users are not going to have SMART running, or if they do pay attention to the logs that the drive is running 80C. Or they'll just ignore the clicks of death until the day their computer boots and says 'Operating system not found'.
I don't trust either technology to keep a single copy of my data safe. If it's important, backup and distribute at geographically distinct locations.
If every piece of digital data doesn't have a copy made of it, it is one hardware failure away from non-existence. Most of the storage space used in businesses that I administrate is not for the original data, but for multiple backup copies. Copies are not a bad thing, in the business we call them redundancy.

Your computer shop sucks and should be fired (never returned to) for being incompetent. Boot a BartPE disk, backup all the user data, clean all the temp file locations. Remove any infections from the user profile, system directory, and program files. Reboot and run Combofix. Take about 2 hours on a badly infected machine.
My work with a criminal defense attorney lets me get a taste of how many unreported acts of violence occur on school grounds in this city. Being out of school is unsafe for these children, being in school is unsafe for these children.

Not too long ago the state of Texas shortened its school year to reduce cooling costs/electricity usage. The electric usage difference in Texas public schools between the months of April and September is over 100 million kwh *(Spring/Summer Electricity Usage by TXU Public School Customers 1997 and 1998[3]). This does not include the bus rides for children in 100F+ degree heat in the summer months. Does a longer school year make ecological and financial sense in hotter climates?
FF + Adblock is my way to avoid it (and still get the sites I need.js to run on).
This crap has been going on for a few years now with the 'AntiVirus XP' scam (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/22/anatomy_of_a_hack/) that seems to strike major sites every few months. Just goes to show the ad distributers have no control ( or don't want it) over what goes in to their distribution network.
So now that these inequalities have been exposed, what possible benefit does it give to society as a whole?
Actually quite a lot would be my assumption. If you were looking to reduce the number of drunk drivers, for example, you could focus your efforts on educating younger white males for the greatest effect.
Ignoring a statistic because its result appears racially charged isn't going bring a society any closer to identifying and fixing its problems.
As a sender that shipped piles of packages via USPS, I recommend using either their online website or other 3rd party software that does an on-line check of the address and provides suggestions or corrections to incorrect shipping addresses. This saved a number of my customers hassles when they posted an invalid shipping address with their payment. Still can't fix an incorrect but valid address.
Right, because in your magical world jails have multiple fall over systems for comms that can't be knocked out by fire or other inmates. Unfortunately in the real world jails just aren't built that way. Hell, our local low risk jail doesn't have a sprinkler system and was damn lucky not to burn down.
The problem with ideas like this jamming is they not only block criminals, who by definition are going to find a way to break the law as it is. It's going to block legitimate legal use of phones in the general area of the prison. Like the parking lot, where locally, citizens have used there cell phones to report escaping inmates. Our local high risk jail is in the middle of the downtown area... how do you not cause accidental jamming there?
Want a better idea? How about an accurate cell phone location finder... Whenever a cell is used in the jail its general location can be tracked down and the cell searched. This way the cells are tracked to the people that have them and investigated, and cells can still be used in emergencies.

You underestimate how stupid the vast majority of people are.
Politicians have figured out the most of us are stupid cows waiting for slaughter. That's why we keep getting screwed every election.
If I jaywalk with three other people and a motor runs over one of us, are the rest of us guilty of vehicular manslaughter?
If by jaywalking at that time and place is a felony offense, then yes the rest of you are (or can be charged and tried)
Moral of the story, do not be a fucking piece of shit, or you could go to prison for the rest of your life for it.

or you could screw a pipe with an open ball valve on the tap, then close it slowly. Which is what BP did in this case.

It is a simple fact that Vista/Windows 7 has the best implementation of ASLR in the desktop market today. Linux's is not as good
The default ASLR is not as good, but with the Linux kernel you can add PAX or Execshield. Windows or OSX doesn't have such expandability.
