Part-time Apprenticeships ffs you normally sign your papers for 4 or 5 year fro a proper Apprenticeship.

I think making h1-B direct employment only no third party body shops - might cut down a lot of the abuses

even pro investors specialising in this area avoid the main Chinese exchange and prefer HK based shares.

Yep both HK and London took one look at the corporate structure and said not on our exchange - if this goes pear shaped it could trigger major trouble for Google and other tech companies with "dodgy" share classes that allow a minority of outsiders to take the piss with supposedly a public company.

trouble is all these js heavy single page apps and things like angular don't work very well for Google

Actually some of us where doing Agile back in the mid 90's - it was called RAD or DSDM

BT built a system to manage its SMDS network using a hybrid water fall design phase plus a 12 week dev sprint with I think two intermediate prototypes that we let the users play with - we even sourced the sever and took enough kit to build a network on site in case hey had forgotten to provide one :-)

Actually the SNP was originally quite sectarian - some thing glossed over in the obits of one of the founders obit.

Nope publishers prefer a eng Lit degree(first's) from Oxbridge as they are prepared to work for a pittance supported by family money - at lest they have a job and are not waitressing like a lot of other eng lit grads

Quite Problems with GPS batteries led to a number of blue on blue accidents in both Iraq and Afghanistan

The cost of office per year compared to the cost of employing a single employee is tiny even more so if they are a civil servant with a juicy pension entitlement - when I was in charge of the tech at a small 10 person company I reckoned it cost us less than £50 a year per person for office and xp

well there is a element of anti americanism in European states and given the recession to a non technical person it might seam simple to save money in this way where as its not that simple.
