Thanks, Bill. It turned out to be timely for me--since I was in the midst of being laid-off when you sent it. Though, I've still never experienced this `abusive outsourcing' phenomena personally (when I've been laid-off, the H-1B workers were getting laid-off right along with me). I'd guess this is an artifact of the type of organisations where I've worked.... Luckily, the job-market for good software hackers looks decent right now. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. The thought had occurred to me that I actually might like working on tools for cinema.... I guess not at Disney. (if anyone's got suggestions for positions that might be a good fit, I'd love to hear them...) -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
