you dont want to pay tax ?My view on tax policy is irrelevant to the point I was making.

<t>Shit.. I just received my paycheck. It is lower than the paycheck I received 2 weeks ago. Apparently, more federal taxes were withheld. I talked to a gentleman from the Payroll department at my university and he explained that "from April 1st, the federal income taxes for INTERNATIONAL students a...

<t>Imagine I offer you to play the following game. I will pick at random some number between 0 and 100 and I will offer to pay you that amount. You can accept the offeror reject it.

<t>Should I trust a headhunter calling me at 10pm on a Saturday night? Seriously, it happened to me recently.He was very polite and excused himself for the late time, though. Anyway, he asked me to state a couple of theorems and then gave me a good lecture on how I should be careful when choosing a ...

<t>I believe this is the case when you are using an explicit scheme on the Black-Scholes equation witha backward difference for the time derivative and central difference for the other derivatives.You can just transform the Black-Scholes equation to the heat equation and use forward difference for t...

<t>Thanks, jfuqua. I am sure the tips on SIAM's careers site would be very helpful when interviewing for a Lead Carcass Grader position. It is them that posted the position in the first place. Also, I think I have pretty good chances being a member of SIAM for 5 years. The only thing that keeps me a...

My university froze hiring for an unknown period and research assistants woke up as teaching assistants one cold December morning.Nomade, I don't find your sarcasm necessary. sumansanyal is probably as qualified to do t...

<t>I just actually checked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security web site about this. It says that to be eligible for the OPT extension the applicant must be working for a U.S. employer in a job directly related to the student’s major area of study. So, I am not as confident as in my previous pos...

You might want to check with the international student office of your school about this. I believe it is given on the basis of your degree (Physics) and not on the nature of work you are doing, so I think you should be able to extend your OPT in a year.
