SPAM: IEEE-USA Lobbies Congress to kill US Jobs for EEs

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "Of the fifteen senior staff members listed at IEEE-USA, [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers — USA] not a single one has an engineering degree; the nearest technical qualifications are one member who has worked as a nuclear power technician in the US Navy, and another who worked for an ISP.

The support that IEEE-USA is showing for.... visa reform strikes us...as a body that is siding with business and not with the membership of the institute. It appears to free up a large percentage of H-1B visa allocations that could then bring in even more overseas underpaid slaves for jobs that US residents are already available and willing to fill."

"Tube Map" Created for the Milky Way->

astroengine writes "Assuming you had an interstellar spaceship, how would you navigate around the galaxy? For starters, you'd probably need a map. But there's billions of stars out there, how complex would that map need to be? Actually, Samuel Arbesman, a research fellow from Harvard, has come up with a fun solution. He created the 'Milky Way Transit Authority (MWTA),' a simple transit system in the style of the iconic London Underground "Tube Map." (Travel Tip: Don't spend too much time loitering around the station at Carina, there's some demolition work underway.)"
