Re: Only stupid people use google crome

That assumption is incorrect. I’m not a Chrome user. I downvoted the post because labeling large group of Web users that way comes across as lazy and self-defeating

I wish someone has tackled the EU-mandated cookie acceptance screens.

Just checked few US DoJ jobs, all are restricted:

“This job is open to

The public

U.S. Citizens, Nationals or those who owe allegiance to the U.S.

Clarification from the agency

• THIS IS A DELEGATED EXAMINING ANNOUNCEMENT OPEN TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS.”

Re: Pure is SMB at best, not worthy of mention in the same article as VMAX.

Huh? I have three //X arrays, didn’t occur to me those aren’t available.

Oh, and the first Pure array I got is now 5 times the initial size and I think it does not have a single part that remains from the initial setup - no downtime.

Add APIs, cloud services and general simplicity. I am quite pleased with Pure product, they do many things right.

The thing is, Azure AD is not a LDAP directory service. Entirely different APIs and integration mechanisms.

Re: Canadians are free to travel to the US for business meetings

Thank you for the advise on hiring a lawyer, but I have a university degree and therefore am not a subject of certain restrictions. I think I'll be fine.

Furthermore we have yet to see a case of deported and banned consultant who came to the States on business without obtaining appropriate degree first. You chose to comply to a stupid rule that no one enforces.

Re: Canadians are free to travel to the US for business meetings

Nope. As others already mentioned, there are conditions for you to do consulting while on B1 - see http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/types_of_visas/temporary-employment-holp/b1-in-lieu-of-h2.html. And B1 is not required for Canadians and those on VWP.

Canadians are free to travel to the US for business meetings

There are only few travel purposes that require Canadians to get non-immigrant visa, and business travel (the B1 visa) is not one of them. The full list is here:

http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1260.html

So citizens of Canada are free to travel to the US for business meetings, training and other work-related activities.

It is in DNA of most consultants to impose restrictions on themselves out of compliance concerns but I prefer the kind that sticks to the facts.
