[ale] New website for H1B [Slightly OT]

[George Johnson]

It all boils down to one simple thing to me.  The companies say they
need to cut costs to compete in the market place but if a man cannot get
a job and thus has no money does it really matter how cheap the good or
service is since he cannot afford it at any price?

...  i just "like"  these news
http://news.com.com/2100-1011_3-1009684.html?tag=fd_top

I think instead of "fighting/hating H1b" we _all_ should concentrate on
this
problem and the problem of absence of union for IT workers. Or in next 3
years all we will have to do is swipe streets ...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT :

I always had some strange impression that problem is not in
engineers/poor
code/design, but in management.... But it is just my silly thoughts...
