Since the workers are only entitled to stay in the country to perform the jobs for which they were granted the visa, they must now return to their countries of origin. In recent years, these workers had 60 days in which to remain here. Since Sept. 11, 2001, that has been reduced to 30 days. Here are a few strategies for H1-B workers that have recently lost their employment, or fear the worst is coming. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci912291,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- VALIDATING THE WRKUSRPRF PASSWORD | Forum advice: Search400.com "Kmalone" asked, "Does anyone know how to validate a password that is being keyed by the user from a RPGLE program against the WRKUSRPRF password?

"Headbanger," "dead presidents" (paper money), "McJob" (menial work with no future), and "longneck" (something to guzzle after a tough day in the IT department) also made the cut. The Web has had the biggest influence on the American language in the past decade, one lexicographer said, both with the number of new words it has created and the speed with which they've become mainstream slang.
