this is not the process to get an h1b candidate. this process is to process a green card. it's a labor certification process.. for the sake of "labor protection", the employer has to say to the government..look i didn't find any citizen or permanent resident for this job.

it's nauseating how one of the smartest demographics on the web degenerate into 'they take our jobs' types on this matter. required reading http://business.time.com/2013/01/30/the-economics-of-immigration-who-wins-who-loses-and-why/

this is one slashdot discussion that i wont benefit from!

...which will never happen.

so it's "radical" even if alot of the population supports it?

yea the liberal slashdot crowd isn't so liberal when it comes to immigration b/c they fear of perceived competition.

- the country that let's in a million immigrants simply b/c they won a lottery or had a relative sponsor them doesn't complain about that but complains about letting a few 10 thousand highly skilled.
- you want to promote local stem education but won't let in those who want to play on the US side and work in stem therefore promoting it!

hey look, your legal immigrant neighbor has a kid who is good in math. you should deport him somewhere b/c he's your competition. face it, there is a global competition for talent that is globally mobile and have options to go to other countries and not put up with the red-tape of the US. either you play with that new reality or see how far your momentum can take you. the US is quickly becoming just another country.

in my case i've been in the US for 14 years on some non-immigrant visa...from my childhood and into my young adulthood. i'm on PhD level in skills but i don't have many options to be able to stay and work let alone immigrate. there are times when i think like a citizen and see alot of H1B visas going to codemonkeys who have no US experience and got a low-level job when i think the system should select me instead.

i think there might a standard coming up where you can plug in your phone and it becomes the nav on a bigger screen.

Read the article. the attack was restricted to office computers.

it would still be more efficient to have electric vehicles powered by whatever.

that looks like punctuation. how would you express that difference in speech?

ok but tablets are going to be more PC like and PCs are becoming more tablet like. the HW now has become so cheap and small that you can make a PC in tablet form.

100s of millions of others do and have made their wants known by purchasing a tablet.

then simply say: we will only admit a certain number of people each year no matter what the demand is which is what you mean by "control". the only difference b/w a legal and illegal is paperwork.

it is THAT terrible. with no family connection in the US and with an advanced degree, you could wait YEARS to get a green card. without a degree, you would have to wait decades.

get windows and be done with it so that you can do flash properly, netflix, easy dvr w/ WMC, and bluray. and these days, there are enough all-in-one devices out there that do much of what an htpc can do. it's more difficult to justify a htpc these days.

google wave is a standard that can be used independently of google.
