FYI in Russia the police do check documents on the streets and you are advised to carry them.
Submission + - Ask Slashdot: jobs for geeks in the business/financial world?
menphix writes: Hi there! I'm a software engineer in the bay area. I will be moving to Hong Kong where my wife works shortly. I understand that there will be a lot less opportunities to work for software companies there than in the bay area, but they do have a LOT of business/financial companies in HK: investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, you name it! So I'm thinking maybe it'll be easier if I transition to work for those companies. Since I got my B.S. and M.S. both in computer science, I have no idea what those "Wall Street jobs" are like, so I'm just wondering what you guys know about jobs in the business/financial world for geeks? Has anybody made the jump before?

I was in China 2001, and I can promise you that the DDoS is not generated by some advanced tools or scripts, it just because there were too many people connecting. People sent each emails and agreed on visiting the White House website several days before the "attack". Among those who visited the website, 95% were just normal internet users using Internet Explorer 5.
