H-1B is for difficult-to-find specialists and O-1 is for people with extraordinary ability in their field. H-2B is for ordinary workers.

People aren't getting that it was two characters that need to be added, not two bytes to make a short into an int. COBOL uses a fixed width character format for all data (yes even for COMP). If you want a four digit number, then you ha

Here one example. Al-Qaeda was the name of Osama bin Laden's legitimate political party in Saudi Arabia, which he kept separate from his jihadist activities in Afghanistan. There is not now, nor has there ever been, a shadowy internati

It seems as if the people who rave about it's coding abilities are doing a lot of copy+paste stack overflow level of coding. I'm not sure whether it's great that this can be automated, or if it's depressing that so much

There are two sides to this: investigations and monitoring. For HR and security investigations, this rewind capability would be very useful, is legal, and at least partially already performed using forensics tools. Monitoring is where you r

SOX was implemented with COBIT 4, Control Objectives for IT. This introduced a lot of process and cost overhead, so COBIT 5 removed the control objectives -- it's just a list of IT topics. So now, corporations can now comply with SOX b
