Guys, the author didn't seem to pay close attention to the law and is now getting your hopes up. There are some details of that law, which you should know. Go here and follow the NEW H1-B FAQ link in the center of the page.
Well, here is what they have just accomplished with their decision to sue: 1. I will never buy their products 2. I will neverwork for them 3. I will tell everyone I know not to buy their products 4. I will tell everyone I know not to work for them.
I want every executive who is out there for the big buck at any cost to know that we, the guys who actually make it work, will not tolerate persecution of those who are kind enough to donate their time and talent for free to all of us. If you cannot make a better product than freeware with all of your resources, then accept it, and go into a different branch of business, or out of business, if that is what you have to do. But let us have an honest race!
Being honest is more important than making a buck. One day you will have to stand before God and answer for your actions, and you cannot pay a lawyer to defend your dirty acts before God!
I have had good experience running http://www.sashanet.com on a 256K ADSL line ( it is actually 272K up/ 640 K down) from US West in Provo, Utah. I pay $80 a month for the line + ISP with a block of 8 IP addresses (5 user-assignable). The only complaint I have is occasional high latency and outages averaging about an hour per month. They have been improving lately, though. My nighlty off-site backups go at 25-27 Kbytes/s. Once a friend of mine needed a place of a temporary location of his banner exchange server getting hit 1-2 times per second, and I allowed him to do it on my line. I could still get to my site without a noticable delay:) Anyway, if your teleco is US West, and you need tips on setting up your DSL, feel free to e-mail mailto:sasha@direct1.com
