Good thing these guy reached their technical peak before an H-1b visa grunt would have put them out on the street.

Linus Torvalds created Linux, a free operating system, in his dorm room at the University of Helsinki.

Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor from June to December 1980 when he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. To demonstrate, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.

Whine all you want, but people don't need your protectionism to create and invent. The very first two names on that list surely didn't. And those who use H1-B visas could also invent and create similar, maybe even better, inventions. Maybe your inability to compete has more to do with your abilities than the H1-B program and the lower wages they might request.

Looking at the actual story we add Zuckerberg who created Facebook from his dorm room... Bram Cohen developed BitTorrent on his own, using free porn to lure beta testers... Richard Stallman is all about software freedom, he’s not exactly a corporate type... there’s half of the list so far... shall I keep going?

The H1B's are granted work visas in this country because the billion dollar marxists lie to Congress that there aren't enough qualified workers in this country. In the Obamaconomy with the highest number of grown ass adults out of work. They aren't unemployed anymore, they aren't even tallied. They are 'out of the workforce'.

Tell me about these wonderful H1B workers again. Maybe the NEA could get some school budgets under control going that route.
