I can see how it'll work out already. Hopeless advertising instead of true education.

so the crime he was committing was making money for himself instead of for Goldman Sachs.
I think it tells us everything we need to know about how corrupt our society has become.
not so - all big companies lease their equipment so they can mark it as a taxable expense and claim tax back on it and reduce their capital expenditure budgets, after a few years the manufacturer contacts them and asks if they want shiny new kit to replace the old junk that is now out of warranty and they always say yes.
Its all about getting someone else to buy your equipment for you.
Now I can't say if this is true of telecoms companies too, but even they will replace their kit eventually.
Andrews and Arnold will give you IPv6... but you forgot to say which country you are in, so maybe this information is useless to you! (they're in the UK BTW)
But we're making progress, a few years ago the routers weren't IPv6 compatible and everyone said why should they bother if there wasn't any ISP support, and the ISPs wouldn't add IPv6 support as the routers weren't compatible.
Now this chick-and-egg situation is broken, they have no excuses.
lol. "Dear Google, we realise you have decided to pull out of business with the EU member states so we write to you to regretfully inform you that all your companies in Ireland and the Netherlands that you created for some reason or other will also be pulling out of doing business with the EU. We have communicated this information to the US treasury department as we believe the cash held by those companies will be sent back to the USA and we're all wondering whether you'll be paying the tax bill by money transfer or several truck loads"
I was referring the OP to it. I have updated OSM data for my local area when I found it was lacking absolutely vital information on the location of the local pubs. I also helped my work colleague fix a road section as it wasn't giving him the correct satnav details for his drive home.
OSM is awesome because I can do these things. Its not difficult to do either, just enough of an impediment to deter those who might want to deface the data.
but nobody sensible develops
In the UK, the borders were opened back in 1998. You'd think the initial rush would have stopped by now, but it is increasing (hence all the hooha over it today)
Because they are trying to destroy your jobs, not their own.
The day that the H1B programme also applies to MBAs and Managers is the day that corporations stop using H1Bs.
That is also naive. The US is still the largest economy in the world, the companies are here because the money is here
I think you'll find the money is not in the USA, otherwise those companies would have to pay tax on it, hence all the 'not here' companies with the same name.
So, if they are happily opening offices overseas to save on tax anyway, why not employ workers in those companies and get them to collaborate with the parent company? With today's technology in comms and remote working, its not so much of a problem at all - in fact it can be a better condition to be in if your company places a lot of emphasis on having meetings, your offshore team would simply get on with their work while you wasted yours!
You could also pay them less in their own country, so I really do wonder why these companies are so hell-bent on increasing immigration.
partly population concerns - while Amwerica is a big, wide, empty country you all want to live in very crowded little communities. Increasing immigration causes more pressure on those communities for things like housing and traffic.
Then there's the economic issue, while the wild west had no social care benefits, today you have many. So every new immigrant either has no job and gets benefits, or has a job and pays his own way but helps to displace another worker who then ends up on benefits.
In the UK we see this a lot, while immigration has increased dramatically, the number of jobs has increased relatively slowly, so we have 6 million immigrants but 2 million unemployed. Our health and education systems have not been funded accordingly though, and are showing signs of collapse. Hence, immigration is a good thing, but only to a point - not as an unlimited influx.
Its probably entirely linked to the rate of immigration overall, in the old days when we had few immigrants being drip-fed into the system things were OK, now we have a flood people are getting concerned.
Actually that was one of the "great new things" for
except then they added the GAC and the crap in the various
correct - that's because once your fizzy drink that is designed to be drunk cold warms up you start to taste it....
real ales should be drunk at room temperature so you can appreciate all their complex flavours
it was just an example.. its been years since Latin was the most common language too.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
