Comment Re:Lower cost for H1B ? In your dreams .... (Score 2) 341

Maybe we can quibble over the amount but Trepidity's solution seems solid. How about the rate being something on the order of 30% above the prevailing market wage? See with 30% above prevailing market rate, the price keeps going up... Probably should add something to the effect of max hours allowed to work and salary must always remain 30% above prevailing market rate.

marijuana poisoning? Is there such a thing? Definitely not by smoking, you'd pass out before you could, so maybe from ingestion? Would it be similar to leaf poisoning from eating too many tree leaves?
Seriously though, from what I know, you can OD on it if you eat it (properly prepared) due to the delay time from ingestion to onset of symptoms. What happens is people don't know that it is coming and so keep eating the brownies and end up eating way too many. I have not heard of this actually happening but theoretically it is possible.

Overeager Compilers Can Open Security Holes In Your Code 199

jfruh writes: "Creators of compilers are in an arms race to improve performance. But according to a presentation at this week's annual USENIX conference, those performance boosts can undermine your code's security. For instance, a compiler might find a subroutine that checks a huge bound of memory beyond what's allocated to the program, decide it's an error, and eliminate it from the compiled machine code — even though it's a necessary defense against buffer overflow attacks."
