There are 65,000 H-1B's available for the year (20,000 of them reserved for "advanced degree" holders)... No, the 20,000 reserved for "advanced degree" holders is over and above the 65,000 H1-Bs, so the total is 85,000.
PS: I'm an H1B holder and I know what I'm talking about.
The *only* places that hire PhD EEs are aerospace defence firms and universities. That's absolutely bollocks. I have a PhD in EE from an ivy league university and I personally know a lot of friends who have similar PhDs in EE and they work in companies like Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, IBM Research, Analog Devices, Qualcomm.... I could go on. I work in one of the companies listed above (on an H1B visa) and I make a six figure salary. Go figure.
see ads for things I'm likely to need or want than endless viagra ads Since you live in your mom's basement, how do you know for sure you don't need Viagara? Have you heard of the phrase - "use it or lose it"?

That is indeed correct usage of the word "affect". I suppose the AC who posted the above sentence was part of Dubya's No-Child-Left-Behind program.
No H1Bs!!! No NAFTA!!!! Deport all the Indians!!! Back to Dheli, out of our Delis!!! Its Delhi and not Dheli.
Oh btw, you forgot to ask "Do you want fries with that?"
Here's one adblock software that works with Safari on a Mac. Its just been a few days since I've installed and started using it..... but surfing the net after that has been like a breath of fresh air.
http://www.culater.net/software/PithHelmet/PithHelmet.php
Its shareware, although you can click the "I paid" button in Pithhelmet preferences even if you haven't paid. I'm going to use this for a month and if it's smooth sailing, I'll be more than willing to doante the $10 that the website asks for. Have any of you come across a better alternative for Safari on Mac (not to be confused with the Windows version) --> free or otherwise?
If you are paying more than half of your salary as taxes, there is something REALLY wrong with what you are doing...I'm not trying to be funny. Federal + State..maybe 25%. Social secuirty+medicare..maybe another 10%...adds upto 35%. That would come to $19.6K. Please enlighten me on what I got wrong..... Are you sure you were not high on illegal substances while filling out your tax forms?
So the guy who operated the convenience store had an H1B visa? I never knew they gave out H1Bs for that. Shows you are just yet another one of those trolls I come across daily on slashdot.
not to mention that the H1-B has a significantly lower tax burden
You sir are yet another ignorant fucker I came across on slashdot in the past 30 seconds. Please read my reply to another posting:

Forgot to mention this - all the money that I pay towards Social security literally goes down the drain as far as I'm concerned if I leave the US without securing a green-card/citizenship.. I do not get ANY social security benefits (not that I need any).
and a significantly lower historical financial debt to the government
You are probably right on that one.
Immigrants also, iirc, have their first seven years somewhat free of income taxes--or at least significantly lessened
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you even know what the fuck you are talking about? The only tax savings is when you are on an F1 visa (student visa) and you don't have to pay any Social security or Medicare taxes on whatever measly stipend you receive. The moment you switch over to an H1B visa from an F1 visa (as I did a year ago), you start paying every damn tax that an American citizen pays...in fact, you are consisdered a resident by IRS for tax purposes. I paid something like $23-24K in taxes (including Federal, State, Social security and Medicare) on earnings of $96K last year. So fuck you. The same holds good if I had entered the US with an H1B visa instead of finishing my doctorate and then switching over to H1B.
It's kinda hard to believe that India (who doesn't have Microsoft, ATI, Nvidia, INTEL, Xerox, Zenith, Apple, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Boeing, Lockeheed Martin, a government space program,.... etc etc etc etc...) would have ANY one trained in a technology completely unknown/practiced/implemented by American Engineers. You missed AMD you insensitive clod......
Did you know (according to my lawyer) that the cap does not apply to Indians and Chinese? Can I have some of that stuff your lawyer is smoking? Dude... please tell me you did not actually pay this lawyer.
Grandmas that are introduced to Linux as their first computing experienc (hi mum!) can cope perfectly well with the tool of the penguin Dude, that's disgusting !!

Now, that tells a lot about the quality of your university.. doesn't it?
Yes.. and that's because Windows 95 was a pretty bad copy of the original Apple Macintosh that appeared around 12 years earlier.... in 1983. That's the reason you see the Mac higher up in that list.

I was almost there with you till you said making out on the couch . Yeah right !!... oh wait, did you mean with an inflatable doll or something?
Well, maybe its trying to hint at something.
So what happens to my "Unlimited-Nights" ..... you insensitive clods.
It's "per se" (two words) and not persay.

The cease and desist letter from your ISP is on its way .. please bend over the table while the MPAA lawyers screw you.
Good luck.
