Comment You've Been H1B'd! (Score 1) 358

An employer that is trying to keep their H1B employees has to post the position so an "American can have an opportunity" at the job. They use crazy job requirements so they can plausibly meet the regulatory requirements of using H1B labor and then document the job posting, keep a bunch of resumes/CVs noting on each they don't fit some requirement that is actually meaningless.

Tons of positions on job sites are H1B spam. The more implausible the requirements, the more likely it's an H1B compliance posting.

Comment Wrong. Stop Rewriting History. (Score 3, Informative) 146

Parent blames "Congress" when in fact, the financial regulators were deregulating banking. Congress did their part. Guess who was driving the deregulation? Banks.

Parent also has a rudimentary understanding of the problem that's fundamentally wrong in so many ways no one would read the wall of text..

there are two classes in the US: the ruling class, who won't be charged for clear violations because they might be able to get off, and the rest of us.

While I agree with you in principal, the rush to judgment about this issue leaves behind a simple fact. There are lots of crimes with no punishments. This is one of them.

The one thing that annoys me the most is how they will hang this on the evil Clinton/Democrats. A sufficiently senior Republican get the same benefits. But, that's not going to be the conversation. We're stuck pointing fingers and name calling.

Comment Microsoft Took Over a Looooong Time Ago (Score 1) 29

Apparently someone from Microsoft's PR firm posted this "story." Yahoo owns Tumblr.

Remember this?

Who, just so happened made decisions where Microsoft was the winner. So, they went from a "meh" search company busy doing other stuff to "blech" re-wrapped Microsoft tech.

I think they are left with some kind of content generation things that are making money. Maybe fantasy sports or something? Microsoft is still hungry for Yahoo for some bizarre reason. More great decision making at Microsoft.

You guys with the Clinton hate, or Democratic evilness, or whatever aren't facing facts. A former first lady who plays the game as good as the rest is never getting touched. Not even Petraus 2.0.

If that's not enough, then you guys get your panties in a twist about open ports and OMG THE RUSSIANS ATTACKED AN OPEN PORT!!!! Do any of you operate a server without checking logs?

Seriously. The people that matter respect her. Nothing is going to happen. Move on.
