I can be paying as low as possible
Two phrases come to mind:
(1) You get what you pay for (In other words, if you don't pay much you won't get much)
(2) Buy cheap, buy dear (I've only heard my grandmother use this, essentially it means if you pay a cheap price for a product or service you will end up paying for it all over again when you realise the quality is not good and have to replace the item or re-do the work)

It's illegal, and you can be imprisoned or deported for trying. Your best bet is to apply for a visa through the legitimate process, though I've heard that you are required to do so from outside the country. Your bio says that you are in the US; if you're here illegally you'll need to find a way to get out of the US without being caught, then apply for normal entry. If you are here on a legitimate visa - student or tourist, perhaps, you may have other options - contact the immigration officials for info. You can also find a lot of helpful information here[^].

I'd recommend NOT to call the immigration officials until outside the USA. It is a strict condition of a tourist visa that you are not permitted to change to a working visa, or even ask about it, while in the US.
I've been through US immigration as a tourist and for business (working for a UK company with a reseller in the states) and the officials are the most serious and unhumerous people I've ever met. I remember a line from a film that went "We at the FBI do not believe we have a sense of humour" and that can be applied to immigration officers too.

That seems a bit absurd. A simple question about procedure should not be a problem. The website does contain detailed info about obtaining various types of visa, though, and they're surely not going to restrict anyone from reading the material there.

The whole US Immigration seems a bit absurd to me. I was asked on a previous visit by an immigration officer if I was involved with the German Nazi party between the years 1933 and 1945. And I really mean an immigration officer asked me the question, not just ticking the box on the I-94 visa waiver form. Look at my bio to see how absurd that question is.
The reason I said this was that I remember reading somewhere that it was strictly forbidden to change from a tourist visa to anything else and to ask about it was to invite suspicion about your true intentions. As I understand it the US Immigration can deport or detain someone if they believe that they are entering or have entered the US under false pretences.

Well, there were lots of scottish time travelers from the future that were members of the Nazi party between 1933 and 1945.

I've heard that, and it strikes me as absurd. If a visitor to our country becomes enamoured of it, why should one not inquire about becoming a citizen or a legal resident? If this is really going on it should be stopped immediately! Our country was built by immigrants who wanted to make a better life for themselves and their families; it's sheer lunacy to turn away or intimidate people who make perfectly legitimate requests for information!

That's what it says on the backside of the green visa waiver. The form also contains yes/no questions whether you're a terrorist, drug dealer, convict, etc.

That's great - makes things much less complicated! Check out the website then, and start contacting employers in the US. The most common way for non-US citizens to come to work here is through the H1-B visa, and the numcer of such visas is limited. There may be other alternatives that I'm not aware of, though, and the information on the Internet is probably the best source available. Good luck!

Yo, I thought H1-B is for Canadian only and it's a result of NAFTA? For foreign nationals from elsewhere (besides Canada/Mexico), ... is it L-1 Visa? Not sure.

There are so many jobless american software engineers who are looking for jobs in USA and can't find it. Why would any company want to go through the complex process of bringing someone from outside USA ???
You better look somewhere else man.

I have many researches about the map projections for tracking peruses, you know that it is not easy to deal with this things, I have built my own map controls which process raster and vector maps, also I have built my own 3D engine , I thing you could not find this things every where….
In addition to many sensitive projects which I could not tell you much about it!

Well, that sounds interesting for sure. But I doubt that it is unique. It doesn't sound any more involved than the GPS systems I've worked on. Anyway, I wish you all the best.

Me and a business partner have what we believe is a great idea. We've started working on it. While the overall concept isn't too difficult, we're in a little over our heads. We're looking for a Web, .NET, C# programmer who wants to join us, who lives here in the Bay Area (San Francisco).
To be clear, we're doing this on a shoe string. We can't pay, but we're offering a part of the company that we hope will be lucrative once we go active. We have several trial sites lined up and are ready to go. Not having a product is a kind of limiting thing...
We know we have a great concept - we can fill you in on the whole thing under NDA - but we need a sharp person to help us make it real.
Interesting in joining a dream? Reply to this message and we can get together and see if it all makes sense!
Thanks!
Mike.

Hi all,
I am writing a report on Software Development and Organizational Conflict at the University of Copenhagen's Institute of Computer Science. For that purpose we have created a survey, which I would be very grateful if you could spare a few moments to fill out, provided you work with software development - it is anonymous and doesn't take very long to fill out. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
The survey is found here:

Did any of you have a technical interview with Thoughtworks? What kind of questions did they ask? I'd love to work there, but I'm kind of scared of the interview. Those guys seems to be very good and their selection process is very tough .
