In which case there will be lawsuits and EULA's will be challenged and a companies responsibility to it's consumers will be better defined. Sounds like a win-win scenario here, as much as anything in regards to this can be called a win.
While I can't make your decision for you I can tell you what I did from my own experience.
My current job way underpaid me, and everyone knew it. I liked working here most days (you have bad days anywhere), but the offers I was continuing to get were getting too good. I was making 61,000 and was getting offers for 80k - 100k. I didn't want to leave but felt obligated to at least look, since that is no small amount of money and my wife and I are starting a family. I also told my boss my situation and how much the offers were for. She understood completely and vowed to get me a raise. I went and ahead and did a couple of interviews, and had a new job in the bad making 85,000, BUT it was for a major financial company. That means ties and what not (now I only have to do buisness casual (polo's and what not) 4 days a week. It was also a longer commute and I'd have less creative freedom. The boss came back with an offer of 70,000 and a big bonus and another big raise when that time comes around
I wreslted with the idea for a while and eventually decided to stay. Sure, the extra money would be nice but I've worked in some really shitty places, and being happy (or relatively) where you are is, for me worth a lot.
Basically it comes down to what you want. I also have a sizeable amount of debt I stupidly acquired in my youger years, but not having the extra salary simply means that some of the things I want I don't get to buy right now and it takes a little longer to pay off the debt, but I am happier during the time I am.
There are more things to life than money, at least for some people.
Unfortunately there are all to many IT depts out there like that. Ideally IT should be there to help the buisness flow more efficiently, but more often you get some stuck up network, or system, admin who thinks he has to play god and makes everyone else's job harder. This is more often than not a sign of incompetence.
Just remember that not all IT departments are like that, because mine isn't. We actually make a concerted effort to give the users what they want.
Maybe some of our "Russian friends" will do it. After all, they don't abide by our laws and I can't really see Russia handing someone like that over to us.
I believe learning to speak English is also a mandatory thing for becoming a US citizen.
You believe incorrectly. America has no offical language, although there have been several pushes towards making it English.
It's not possible anywhere in the world, although there are a few examples, like Morocco.
Once again you are incorrect. I once dated a girl that had dual German/American citizenship. My nephew and niece have both Sweedish and American citizenship.
I went to one of the largest football schools in the country and do you know where ALMOST all of that money you mentioned went.... I'll give you a hint, it started with "Football" and ended with "Program". The head coach of our team got paid 1 million a year. That is more than anyone else in the government of said state. Then you had to pay for the constant stadium upgrades. The practice facilities. The other coaches, and the list goes on and on.
Now some of the money did go to school at large, but it was a VERY small minority.
I find this humorous. I work, in America, for a Japanese owned company and I hardly ever work over 40 hours a week. As a matter of fact no one but upper management seems to work more than 40 hours a week. Kind of like it.
So what, you're just suppossed to work until you die? Why can't I put money away so that I can retire and stop working when I get older, and thus open my job up to someone else?
But would you really want to work for a company where that happens? I wouldn't. It used to be that HR had a much larger role in picking the programmers here but after picking some real horrible people the programming manager got control and things are much better.
Yeah, but then Clippy will end up crapping all over your word doc and then eating some of the letter at random. I mean, how are you going to explain that to your boss? "I'm sorry, but Clippy ate it."
You seem to have some experience with aural browsers so can you point me towards some that are free? My group is interested in making our website blind accessible and we want to know what they sound like, but the only aural browsers we can find are $$. Do you know of any free ones, or ones that are free for developers to test with?

What if we are just staving off the next ice age by using all these "greenhouse gasses"? If we stopped using them then the next ice age would happen.
Your side (I assume, since you think it prudent) is just a stupid as taking any other action without real hard data.
Work for Wallymart IT?

It isn't German. It is some horrible, horrible psuedo-German.

Actually it wasn't. Close on the color, but wrong part of the country.

Your friend is a moron then. Making hiring decisions like that is just plain dumb
His politics were "Drink, have sex with anything that can't get away, shoot was does get away from the sex."
Not a bad philosophy as far as it goes.

Do you work for Hilton?
I paid for mine, but every time I try to run the Validation tool it completely freezes my system. So you were saying what now?
The correct legal phrasing is "resisting arrest".
You're confused. You've described 3NF. 1NF isn't normalized at all.
But would you really want to work for a company where that happens? I wouldn't. It used to be that HR had a much larger role in picking the programmers here but after picking some real horrible people the programming manager got control and things are much better.
Actually that was a change in the underlying gaming system (D&D), which had nothing to do with Wally World.

Wait until you get to advanced e&m and quantum mechanics. That's some right fun there.

And what about deaf people?
Ok, so what are some of the books? :-(
