  1. Re:Wow on Comcast Rolls Out Nationwide 1TB Data Cap (theverge.com) · · Score: 1
    Conventional Cable TV is on it's way out. No more of "this is what you get" and will be replaced with "this is what I want" type programming.

    It is about time.

  2. Is this the same company that wants to quadruple the H1B visa holders to undermine the already depressed US Information Technology sector?

    This is already starting. McDonald's is the latest to let go of 70 Accountants and there are more companies in the past (New York Life/ToysRUs I believe). This is an epidemic that needs to be eliminated in this country.

    There are instances where bulldozing an area allows a clean start. I agree that somethings may end up in the refuse pile that shouldn't

    However the existing programs that are in place have been altered to do exactly as the previous comments.

    In other words, the weeds have overtaken the garden.

    Just because an organization is considered a "not for profit" does not mean "someone" is not making a decent amount of money doing what they do. Take a look at any Charity, foundation, donation organization, etc. and take a look at the person running it. In most cases that person is making millions.

    As long as their insurance policy is with the company as the beneficiary. If not, lead is less expensive.

  8. Almost looks like they used Google Translate from Hindi to English

    Give it up, this logic does not work with people that want to blame inanimate objects instead of the real problem (e.g. PEOPLE).

  10. Re:I Can See It Now on Amazon To Experiment With Part-Time Tech Teams (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Ummm, Yes!!, I would. Only difference I would see is that there would be less stress at the Starbucks. After the hours worked the pay rate would even out. Free coffee is a perk offered by both, but I am thinking Starbucks has better quality blends. So, if it came to life vs. job.... which would you prefer?

    I am still trying to determine who the term "hard to hire" is trying to describe.

    The first browser I remember using in the early 1990's is Mosaic.

  13. In order to makeit lasting,,, on Issa Bill Would Kill A Big H-1B Loophole (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I believe that in order to make it a lasting reform is to make the minimum for foreign wworkers a percentage above the local standard industry wage. This would ensure they actually TRY to find a local professional instead of saying they did and replace all the employees with cheaper foreign labor.

  14. No worries, I deactivated my account a couple of months ago.

    The bonus I received is the incessant spamming of non-existing developer roles or that were never available are no longer coming to my inbox.

  15. WOW!!!!... I want some of what you are smoking!!!

    I am calling BS on your statement. It has nothing to do with race.

    This has to do with enforcing the current laws.

  17. Does anyone else find this amusing that it is the American Companies that are systematically destroying the American Economy?

  18. Re:Private Company on Facebook Decides Which Killings We're Allowed to See · · Score: 1
    Well, since the 80's I have seen the decline of actually reporting of the news and more of trying to promote an ideal.

    I have always thought it was the responsibility of a reporting company to actually report events and not try and influence SOME peoples beliefs and/or agenda.

    It is no wonder people are turning to other communication means for current events.

    The downside to this is if we can't trust the source of the information, how are we supposed to get the facts?

    Trump from doing half the crazy things he says he will do, is the fact that our constitution expressly prohibits him from getting away with it, even if he is elected president.

    It didn't stop Obama from circumventing the current Immigration Laws of this country?

    Seems even the once touted saying has lost all meaning to this company.

    Okay, it is confirmed yet again that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
