Then tell me how different from the patent's independent claim (1) below?

If cheaters have gone through that length to cheat by faking a passport, biometric data isn't that difficult to fake either if the cheaters are willing to give theirs away for reproduction. It is just an additional technology to the cheating process.

I think it is similar in reverse when Asians look at Caucasians?

How come the parent post is rated as informative/interesting? It has NOTHING to do with the point of TFA but to arouse those who are anti H1B. Of course, TFA highlighted only high number. If you really dig into the data given as a link by TFA, you should at least see what TFA is directed to.

TFA gave a link -- http://www.flcdatacenter.com/d... -- to FLC site which is the list of prevailing wage for all job codes related to areas in the US. The only missing link for comparison in TFA, for me, is the hiring salary from all companies. As a result, it looks to me that TFA assumes/uses those high salaries as a standard paid by most companies (look at the number of applicants given in TFA example) which is unlikely true.

I understand that FLC listed the minimum salary based on job title that a company must pay (if you download and look in the readme.txt). The only problem is that it is just data in the book, but not the data in practice. Think of it as book keeping in accounting, a business owner may keep 2 books - one for submitting taxes and the other for real revenues/losses. Thus, the real salary may not reflect the one used in the application, and it is usually lower for those companies that know the work around.

Your idea is also an opposite extreme assumption. In other words, one should keep BOTH assumptions in mind and do not whole heartedly believe in only one extreme assumption, then it would make a lot more sense.

Not sure if this idea would really work. If cheaters have been using bot/hack, why would they be spending more money into the game? Thus, is it really worth keeping them on a separated server that the company has to maintain (spend money)? Got rid of them would be a better choice, I think.

So what you mean is that pilots must read and memorize the document at the airport before they take off? Your suggested solution does not solve anything and is irrelevant. The issue is that they need the document on board, not leaving behind at the airport. The weight of document implies that there are a lot of information you have with on board (35 lbs). Saving fuel cost is what airlines try to do in order to profit more...

You could get things done faster with jQuery so you have more time to be on /.? :-D

If you read TFA, you would know that your comment tends to illustrate that you are on the high horse. Your statement is similar to "what should have been done," but that is not the point. The point is that the exploitation is still alive and people should be aware of. If they need to prevent the exploitation, then they could do it in many ways which may include what you said.

Does not need to be if they want to be sneaky. Think of the OS as an office building. A browser app is an office in the building. If the owner wants to put surveillance camera right at all entrances of the building without letting you know, then it could happen. Illegal? Perhaps. Impossible? Perhaps not.

Actually, rich people wouldn't send their kids to public school anyway. They either send their kids to a private school or home school their kids instead...

Then you have to put that application in all 650,000 iPads. Would you want to do that? ;-)

I just googled for the requirement on IRS... They "separate" the link into 2 -- for charity ( http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&... ) and for churches & religious ( http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&... ). Interesting eh?

Remember when the the system was too obscene and display too much detail of human body? If it is still the same scanner (and I believe it is), then it is not a problem. In other words, I believe that the scanner can detect a lot more, and the software/system would be able to detect that. However, it would redacted the display into the current type of display (more abstract).

If they want to use high-tech equipment, they need to apply the right associated technology to it and stop cutting corner.

The software doesn't know by itself which gender it is scanning, so someone has to enter either male or female? What if an on-process trans-gender is walking though, what would happen? Doesn't sound like a good system in general...
