Do you read everything on slashdot? There is a lot of info here and loads of comments. I don't have a job and I still don't feel that I have time to read everything here. Wake Up. Post it on monster or careerbuilder or something. We'd probably see it then. It would be one of the few that actually said what company it is for.
Yep I have definitely been trying and I will keep trying. Thanks for your perspective. That sounds like maybe the way it was supposed to work originally.
"The middle class is going away in this country unless people wake up and realize why exactly it is that doctors and lawyers get paid well, while people in other highly difficult and technical work do not."
I guess it's because they are good at taking advantage of other people and people in difficult and technical work generally don't want to. Just an opinion.
Damnit I'll work for what they get!! I don't care. I just need the experience since every available job requires so much of it.
I am not too expensive! give me enough for food and rent. Actually if it is in the Bay Area, I can live with my aunt and uncle for a bit. I'm groveling here damnit.
"to compete in a market where hiring a native worker would be too expensive" "thus increasing the overall productivity of the company without screwing an American" BULLSHIT I'm being screwed right now without a job period!
I received a call from a company called Blue Jungle http://www.bluejungle.com/ in San Mateo, CA. One of the first questions they asked was what was my VISA status. I suppose my last name isn't 'American' sounding. I was promised an interview which turned into a phone interview which then never came to be. They give me the run around after several calls and emails later. They say they will send me an email with instructions for the interview, nice trick.
geez buddy. I have some Haitian friends. Am I a bigot because I call them Haitian? If I wasn't born here I'd probably call myself something else before American. well all you proved is that you are the bigot I guess. lol darkies... I'm kind of glad that I don't really know what those words mean.
This sounds like Wrigley Field. All those buildings across the street from the outfield have a nice view of the game. They built up some bleachers on top and charged people to go sit there, have a party, whatever. Wrigley and the Cubs got mad.

Oh, very nice. King, eh! I expect you've got a palace and fine
clothes and courtiers and plenty of food. And how d'you get that? By
exploiting the workers! By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma
which perpetuates the social and economic differences in our society!
If there's EVER going to be any progress...

You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship, A

Ah! NOW... we see the violence inherent in the system.
Come and see the violence inherent in the
system. Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Mr. Ben Stanfield, it is with regret that I write to inform you that someone else has been chosen for the position you were interested in. In fact, we have told every other company we know not to hire you.
Uhhhh what about two smart kids competing, one using?
Mark McGwire was great for the Athletics, awesome early career, but he hit 70 home runs very late in his career... same with Bonds. Come on, awful argument there.
Believe it or not, you can get fired from the military as well. My friend in the AF told me about a lot of people in his area getting laid off. They have the option to join the Army or Marines, otherwise they are out. This is a result of Congress deciding there are too many people in the Air Force.
I haven't tried it but from TFA it seems a bit hassling to me. Slow startup time and have to install the extension in the first place on all the computers you use... if you can. Most of the features I don't really find desirable anyway (bookmarks or homepage might be it). This is however another little move to get things off the local computer and onto the web, sort of like Writely and the whole software as a service thing. Maybe someday we'll just have a bunch of dummy terminals all over and won't hardly need our own computer.
Right now I have a simple page of links that I use as my homepage, and I can use it or edit it from any computer, not just ones with the extension, or firefox for that matter. It's pretty fast too since it's just links (and a search on top). That's good enough for me. I made it with my humble project - http://www.ngumbi.com/
Well they are used to stomping on the poor people, but in this case, the internet users have some money so it might be different. Yes if they don't yet have the traction, then they need to wait a bit.
Something funny I remember is that the government elite in North Korea have internet access but nobody else is allowed to have it.
"I don't want to use Google to look up political stuff and google.cn is a lot faster from over here."
TRANSLATION: Google.cn is faster and that's a good excuse I can use to avoid saying that I try to stay out of politics as much as possible. It's the way of life now for Chinese to not question the government, avoid politics, ignore bad things, and SELF-CENSOR!
Well to some degree the Chinese people are "programmed" to not ask political questions, not question anything, and to just accept censorship as a way of life, they just ignore it. Now do you understand why? Since you have a good Chinese friend, you should know this! Have you ever tried to talk politics with her? Some I have talked to just pretend that I didn't say anything. I have a friend in Guangzhou that I've gotten some perspective on this from. I've caught her self-censoring.
People go to jail for talking in their blogs about it so maybe someone else needs to talk for them don't you think???

I have a CS degree from a highly ranking school but don't have any related work experience. I'll work for the H1-B equivalent salary, hire me.

Well it would be nice if the HTML 'p' tag actually worked properly on slashdot! Give him a break.
I've read about the same advances from the University of Illinois so I corroborate it.
here's another (slightly older) article - http://www.news.uiuc.edu/scitips/03/1106feng.html
This is sad. I notice there are a lot of stories each day on /. and I would have appreciated it if in this case there was one less to use my time on.
Mr. Ben Stanfield, it is with regret that I write to inform you that someone else has been chosen for the position you were interested in. In fact, we have told every other company we know not to hire you.
Best wishes, Hiring manager

Damnit! That's how those more nerdy than me nerds got better grades in my CS classes. I demand that they have an asterisk placed next to their GPA!
So what HAVE you found?
well they aren't controversial to me, that baffled me a bit too
I'm curious, what did they search for?
Believe it or not, you can get fired from the military as well. My friend in the AF told me about a lot of people in his area getting laid off. They have the option to join the Army or Marines, otherwise they are out. This is a result of Congress deciding there are too many people in the Air Force.
