The one that takes us most for a loop is delusion. Delusion is both for self preservation as well as prevent us from seeing the truth behind it all.

Much more powerful than aggression, but still needed in one form or another.

Pay for the tech worker is 90th percentile of industry standard or 90th percentile at the company, which ever is higher.

Quick, simple, and will truly take into account the company's "needs".

Good thing not all nuclear waste is uranium. Lots of heavy water to store for some time as well with a density of?

The scary thing is that many of the large corporate CEOs are harping, "we don't have enough qualified engineers and need many more H1-Bs."

With Infosys and others doing these shady dealings, we've known for decades that this is not true. So the CEO is either in a bubble, or is covering it up.

Simplest rule for H1-B hires, because that's what the focus is. H1-Bs were designed to bring in engineers due to an inability to find someone with the talent that they seek. In other words, they are supposed to be hard to find, and thus, supposedly topnotch. (We all know that this is not the case. It's a scheme that no one wants to enforce.)

Simple rule that will never get passed, but should:
Said engineer will get either the 95% percentile of an engineer with that many years of experience at your company, or the 95% percentile of engineers in your industry, which ever one is higher.

That will bring the H1-B hires down to a near trickle as we all know, it's really about spending less on engineers.

Yes, they know this (but claim that they do not). H1-B is seriously the mechanism that companies use to bring down the cost of engineers.

Getting the regulators to try and crack down on it seems nearly impossible.

We have a winner. Now proving it is harder, which is Infosys' game.

And even after it is very close to be proven, the company will take a penalty and absolve themselves with a "no-fault" settlement. SOP for these types of companies.

VzW are sticklers about those as well, in terms of fast dormancy and idle timers.

I suspect it could be more in line with congestion and RAN hopping and reduced tower output to help deal with congestion.

There's N channels for each radio technology: 1XRTT, 3G, EVDO-RevA and RevB, LTE, etc.
The phone gets informed by the carrier which channel it is on, and depending on the channel, it will bring up the antenna more, or less often, to receive things like SMS, PTT, that should come in a timely manner. There are many strategies to keep the traffic channel up, or to trip and dip into the network less frequently.

You also do not have any control of which traffic channel you will be on, as that's pushed down to you depending on congestion, and signal strength, etc.

They work the exact same way, so I suspect they are dipping into the traffic channel less often (as well as getting fewer updates from the network) for T-Mobile than for VzW.

It's got more storage. Whoopie. It's NOT the same quality as a surface or any real computer. We all know that, but it's not the same but it was really done just to incite anger. Let it go and just ignore the crazies like the original author.

After a while, the Logitech mice go bad and out comes the dreaded double click problem. It's as if they _want_ those mice to be broken on purpose after a certain amount of time. Fix the damn mice please!

and terrorists getting their hands on them? Imagine zealots who are looking for the end of the world to occur in their lifetimes. It would be catastrophic.

Even though salting makes it "much more work", your algorithm could be not CPU(GPU) intensive enough. That's the largest flaw in most systems, and that includes, like the author of MD5crypt stated, too computationally simple to break. So on one simple box, even when salted, we're talking about 2 days time to crack MD5crypt to brute force and 8 character password (probably less with better hardware). Without the salt of course, I suspect that all 6.5M accounts were cracked that day (especially if they can scale it to say 50 ordinary boxes). Use Blowfish or Twofish, and it would take years to even do brute force as each calculation takes in the tenths of seconds (given 12 rounds or greater).
