Production and distribution, yes. Did I say anything different? Since you didn't
object, I'll take it you agree that corporate greed would generally not encourage the
*first* steps, the basic research, to ever be taken because the potential payoff is
too uncertain and too long term. The cases where this has not been true, the former
Bell Labs for instance, are illustrious but far too rare.

You're familiar with this. It is pointless to discuss anything with you because you
post just to see your own words in luminous patterns on the screen. You can do that
without my help, so I won't waste any more of my time on this. So you can have the
last word, which you will enjoy.

You guy's mind not feeding the ludicrous troll (JJ)? After all, he offers nothing in
the way of credible fact or argument, and his only purpose is to further his own
microscopic ego and overinflated sense of self worth.

Hey, you are the nitwit that called Apache an "OS" and yet expected that you had a
right to a consulting job. Terje has shown remarkable patience with you, and has
therefore demonstrated that he most likely would probably be good with kids (which
of course would be a step up from having to deal with the likes of you). You on
the other hand, have shown remarkable ignorance and arrogance.

Who cares what you think? You are a conceited idiot deserving only of the most
menial and demeaning work. If it is true that H-1B was helping to move you toward
your true calling, then that is a good thing. So far there is zero evidence that
your situation has anything at all to do with H-1B. Every time that you've opened
your beak to squawk about something technical you have made a humongous fool of
yourself or revealed a level of skills so low that you could limbo with bacteria.

Terje has maintained the high ground so far. But then, deep sea oil drilling has
reached higher ground than you and Kev often occupy.

LOL. You are powerless to refute my arguments, so you resort to mindless ad hominens
and puerile psychological prattle.

I look around her in my computer room and I see plenty of evidence of non-govt
research and development. The telephone, invented by private interests and
improved by private interests, is a highly useful item. The microprocessor,
invented and improved by private interests. The light bulb, invented and improved
by private interests. Alternating current, invented by private interests. The hard
drive, invented and improved by private interests. And the list goes on and on. If
I go out to my car I see another microcosm of privately-undertaken research and
development. All of these innovations were undertaken by corporations in the
search for new markets and thus profit.

Yes, it does. You can not name one modern invention that did not need to be preceded
at some point by some fundamental research which was done for the pure interest of
it, and/or with government funding. If you think there is, you're showing your
ignorance of the history of science and technology.

By using knowledge that they didn't have to pay for. None of it happened without
fundamental research.

LOL. You wouldn't know substance if it bit you. After all those in depth replies
like, "Typical mindless retort from a typical anti-H-1Ber: lamer than a legless
centipede and half as intelligent. Are there ANY people opposing H-1B who have an IQ
over 50?" and "Typical disgruntled postal worker. Go deliver the mail, loser." you
don't have any room to talk about substance.

Your opinion is well known to be worthless on this and most other subjects. Are you
going to quit cross-posting to SRC like you've repeatedly said you would? Or do you
want to keep posting your ignorant blather? I'll give you another chance to have the
last word. Let's see if you've learned anything.

You are wrong, but let's just say that H-1Bs are given complete freedom to change
jobs and their Green Card process won't be interrupted by doing so. (go to
www.ISN.org to see how wrong you are). Why would I, as an embattled American worker,
care whether the life of H-1Bs was made more pleasant here in the US?

Let's just open our borders up and let the labor market be flooded. If we want to
make it so easy for H-1Bs, we may as well just grant citizenship to everybody in
the world.

Why do you keep bringing up an insignificant typo on my part? Nobody cares about this

I don't claim to know everything like you do. On the other hand, I have a brain, and
you don't.

I will say the same thing when you lose your job. So when both of us are unemployed,
why will that be just?

Yes, you read "Programming for Dummies" and now feel qualified to say these things to
degreed engineers. You are the arrogant one.

You also have to begin again with your Green Card application. If you are an H-1B
like you profess, you better think twice about moving to another employer if you are
applying for a Green Card. Most H-1Bs come here hoping to get a Green Card so they
will be indentured until they get one. The GC process takes too long for H-1Bs to
move to different employers.
