Just go to the customize page(http://www.pugetsystems.com/configure.php?app_type=g&sys_type=l). I selected the most expensive component for every option and racked the price up to $19,255. Just what you'd expect from any bloke choosing them most expensive components.

To bad their web servers don't run on anything comparable, although it has been a long time since i saw them.

Pierre Omidyar of eBay of course is a Frenchman who moved to this country with his family when he was 6 years old.

Yahoo! founded by David Filo ( cheese head from Wisconsin) and Jerry Yang who came to this country with his family when he 10 from Taiwan.

None of these people came to the US on work visas.

What about student visas? What about the students that came to study in the US, obtained bachelors and masters degrees, and then were denied to work in the US?

Submission + - U.S. nuclear weapons lab loses 67 computers (itnews.com.au)

Submitted by pnorth
pnorth writes: Officials from New Mexico's Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory have confessed that 67 of its computers are missing, with no less than 13 of them having disappeared over the past year alone. A memo [PDF] leaked by the Project on Government Oversight watchdog brought the lost nuclear laptops to the public's attention, but the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration dismissed fears the computers contained highly-sensitive or classified information, noting it was more likely to cause "cybersecurity issues". Three of the 13 computers which went missing in the past year were stolen from a scientist's home on January 16 and the memo also mentioned a BlackBerry belonging to another staff member had been lost "in a sensitive foreign country". The labs faced similar issues back in 2003 when 22 laptops were designated as being "unlocated".
