Additionally this is stupid.

Have access to the offender email?
-> Offender can encrypt all his emails. So that no-one would pose as him, nor anyone read his emails. Effect of having the password => absolutely none.

What kind of monitoring anyway?
-> Offender can open hundreds and hundreds of accounts, send the password, register to a huge amount of spam. He would comply with the rules, but who would have time to read/process the emails anyway???
-> Offender could change passwords of his accounts on a daily fashion or open an account every day.
-> Once email has been deleted, what good can "have the password" do. Let's say. A. Open new account on yahoo + send password B. Send email to prey, asking to reply on another email (not yet created). C. Erase traces of first email.... Seriously?

Totally ineffective way to achieve i don't know what.

Windows 7 Benchmarks Show Little Improvement On Vista 369

snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Randall Kennedy examines Windows 7 from the kernel up, subjecting the 'pre-beta' to a battery of benchmarks to find any signs that the OS will be faster, more responsive, and less resource-intensive than the bloated Vista, as Microsoft suggests. Identical thread counts at the kernel level suggest to Kennedy that Windows 7 is a 'minor point-type of release, as opposed to a major update or rewrite.' Memory footprint for the kernel proved eerily similar to that of Vista as well. 'In fact, as I worked my way through the process lists of the two operating systems, I was struck by the extent of the similarities,' Kennedy writes, before discussing the results of a nine-way workload test scenario he performed on Windows 7 — the same scenario that showed Vista was 40 percent slower than Windows XP. 'In a nutshell, Windows 7 M3 is a virtual twin of Vista when it comes to performance,' Kennedy concludes. 'In other words, Microsoft's follow-up to its most unpopular OS release since Windows Me threatens to deliver zero measurable performance benefits while introducing new and potentially crippling compatibility issues.'"

J-1 visas are the way to go, but a company will not invest time if you are not planning to stay for at least 6 months...

I did this for a 6 months internship, in a small company in SC. They had some europeans employees (1 french, 1 german now naturalized) which helped the process. I did not know them personally but I tried to convince them that it would be a good idea to hire me...

In the end they wanted to keep me, but other visas that J-1 are hard to get. I ended up in a partner company in Germany for nearly 2 yrs, before I quitted for a much more interesting offer back in France.

Now I am planning to move to the UK, Canada or the US...
