Since the onset of the current economic crisis the United States has been making obtaining a renewing work visas more difficult. A process which was once quick is now a long, arduous ordeal. This however is not going to help the American economy.
Many US citizens feel outraged to be unemployed while someone from another country is gainfully employed. They feel that their citizenship should give them preference that this so called interloper is stealing their opportunities. The only problem is this concept is false.
Â
According to the Office of Scientific and Engineering Personnel approximately 72% of engineers in the United States are foreign born. Around 24% of doctors in the United States were born elsewhere. These individuals are not stealing jobs they are simply more qualified. These statistics lead to another unfortunate misconception: They got the job because they work for less, most statistics actually show that foreign born workers earn more than their American counterparts.
Â
It is also important to note that their is no correlation between a high rate of foreign born workers and a high rate of unemployment is a given industry. Despite computer science and engineering have the highest amount of foreign workers in any field the unemployment rate is only at 1.7%. Therefore the job shortage in America is not at all related to immigrants but to other factors.
Â
The unemployment rate in the US is currently at around 9%, yet most of the unemployed did not hold white collar jobs in engineering or healthcare. Most of the unemployed actually worked in manufacturing or construction. These people are not competing with highly educated individuals from Asia and Europe for jobs, they are competing with illegal immigrants who are willing to do jobs the Americans do not want for less money.
Â
If America as a nation wants to target a group for discrimination and hardship for the current economic state they should target the corrupt CEOs who have run their companies into the ground. It is years of bad financial policy which has caused economic turmoil not an influx of Asian software engineers.

How can I download the file by opening multiple connections to the server using PHP?
im writing a script download file using PHP and curl. but downloading is slow, but I want to open multiple connections to the server and download file (and therefore download speed). How do I get it?
One way to achieve this using fgets and fseek to allow download and then merging all when done.
I got some files with extension php. I tried to rename the extension, I tried to open them with Internet explorer and Words. It didn’t work. Is there any trial program I can use in order to open these files?
comparative study of different methodologies in modern software development.?
An understnding of how software has impacted our society would be important for any real appreciation of software development to take place.What are the effects of software on society.
Your question and modification address two different issues.
The question is posed to the developers of software and the methologies.
The modification is posed to society and implact of software on society.
These are two different concepts.
When I develop software it often starts for my own needs and I set a series of goals then try to achieve those goals. If the goals are about my head in tools or will take too long to work out, I drop some of the ideas I want to incorporate and save them for a future upgrade.
One of the things I’ve been trying to develop is an upgrade to a web page maker I did 12 years ago, long before there was anything like Front Page. Back then the biggest thing around was Hot Dog and all it did was put in the tags for you.
I developed a page maker that did text with global fonts and color. It did links separtely. It did insert items such as pictures and movie files separately. Then you complied your elements into a page, allowing you to re-use elements in different pages. This made it possible for 10 year old kids to make web pages. I later devised a separate web page maker that took plain TXT files and turned them into web pages exactly as the printed page looked. This made it possible, again, for 10 year olds, grandmothers, teachers and ministers with no web experience to take their existing documents and post them on the web. I also made another tool that took existing HTML files and turn them into plain text files. A lot of people found this useful for taking, say, Yahoo News items and converting it to a small text file for use in Word Pad.
My revision was going to import existing pages from any source and produce a WYSIWYG page. You then when element by element to make changes. You wanted to reposition a picture, change font elements, update a link.
It also would let you work with ALL available tags for a given element. Say, for example, the picture was fixed in size you could change this to percentage if you wanted to. If it had no padding you could add padding vertical or horiztonal.
It would let you add Meta Tags and prompt you to add specific ones if you were not aware of what they did, such as ROBOT headers, PAGE NAMES and content types for robot serach engine work.
It then gave you the option to strip all tags down to bare minimum and drop all unused elements from the page.
As an example, Front Page is overkill in the element department. It throws the kitchen sink into a page and makes it impossible to find a given element for modification. My program would stip out up to 80% of the unused elements leaving a lean page, of course it would not longer respond to remote Front Page commands, but it would be a smaller file that anyone with coding experience could read.
I was also intending the program to import SCRIPT files, but it would not support JAva Script. The user would have to modify their own JAva Script as I simply didn’t want to pack two sets of tags into the software.
The software would let you modify things by push button and arrow buttons, or if you wanted to manually by inserting numbers and text. YOu had the option to view the entire tag or see it as simple English with parameters.
So far I only have this up to the point of importing the most major tags without parameters. I have to devise a more elegant way of importing parameters, probably via a series of arrays.
The ultimate aim of the software is to develop new web pages or import any HTM, HTML, SHTML, PHTML, DHTML page and work with all the elements, then stripping away the unused portions as an option or adding all elements as an option.
Now, on a corporate level I’d have a team of maybe 10 or 15 people each working on an element.
One person would work on the WYSIWYG front end. Another would work on the array engine for the parameters. Another would work on the import and strpping part, another group would work on the control panels for editing with all the buttons that connect to the arrays for the parameters. Another would work on the file saving end.
I have to work on all these elements myself so it takes me longer to get the whole project done and thus far I’ve run into many stumbling blocks in trying to get the import engine, alone, to work.
Some tags have no parameters others have over 30 parameters. Some tags use quotes others don’t, so you have to plan for all of this.
The results of this for society would be a tool that can import almost any HTM file and work with it without having to know code and know your choices, such as fixed paramters or percentages.
The software would also be priced between $50 and $100, making it the lowest cost tool in the marketplace.

Is there a way to clear your history without software?
I know how to delete history one by one, but that will take forever. Is there a way you can highlight it all and delete it? Or any other way you call delete it all at once?
go to the Tools tab in your browser, then Internet Options. There should be a Delete tab that will bring up another window and give you the option to delete history, cookies, temporary internet files, among other things, or all of them. Hope this helped.

Do I need to go to school to get a job at programming?
Hi, I looked at my grades and concluded that i won’t get a diploma. I don’t have any money for a cap and gown. So I decided to give up my attempts at graduation. I wanted to be a software developer, and a game programmer and I plan on teaching myself C++. I was wondering, do I need to go to school to get a job? Do companies hire based on experience?
When I become a programmer, is it possible to work at home? A cubicle? Or have my own personal Office?
HI!!!!
(I wanted to get your attention)
You need a highschool diploma to get 99% of jobs. Computer programmers tend to have an extensive education. You can try taking summer classes on C++.
Please don’t give up. You will be so grateful later that you graduated. You can try getting in to a community college for the right degree. You need experience and education in order to become a computer programmer. The minimal requirement is an associates degree. If you cannot graduate get a GED and then find a community college.

I try to access my school website, the message but PHP is linked to an access violation in 7C81BD02 still visible. I need to see my work and get some work. Thank you in advance.
It Misconfiguration your school server. This usually occurs when PHP run on IIS (Windows). Maybe the problem is temporary, otherwise you should tell your school can be fixed (the system administrator and hire more preferable).
