The New Face of Global Competition
Valluvan writes "Here is an article in Fast Company on "The New Face of Global Competition". The article is focused on Wipro, a big IT company in India, but applies to many other companies in India that have been highly successful. A long article with some stupid errors like saying developers code with UML, but brings out the business facts well enough."

As translated to....
Most Slashdot stories submissions consist of an inflammatory, often misleadingly titled, grammatically incorrect sentence that often leads to discussion
Most comments consist of an amazingly narrow view with stupid errors regarding anything not technical (and, often, many things technical), but gets the posters angst across well enough.
UML codes YOU!
Maybe it's just me, but it seems ridiculous to blast someone for something complex like coding when you can't even do something simple, like spell words correctly.
"Successfull"? What the fuck? Did your mother teach you to spell words by doubling every letter in it?
You know that scene in the Man-Month where they're designing the System/360 and they all start farting? That's hilarious!
This follows the classic theory taught by Mel Brooks in "The Mythical Man Month"
You misspelled Fred Brooks.
Although I do think that Mel Brooks could do something fun with the topic...

It was a flippant remark made against the sterotype that we're all fat, wear braces, have pocket protectors, and live with our parents...
Now, obviously, this isn't negative, but it's amusing when it's true, even inadvertantly.... (and i didn't say i was exempt from any of those categories either :p)
...slam down a post like this for being "offtopic" when it is actually quite true and insightful?
Ah, that's right. I forgot for a minute. Any dissenting view is slapped down. MUST CONFORM TO SLASHDOT POSTING PARADIGM!
MS BAD!
LUNIX GOOD!
MPAA/RIAA BAD! (unless they have a movie/CD I want to buy, then I'm their bitch. Fuck principles. I'll piss and moan about their policies, but I can't stick to my guns and actually do what I think would help the situation. Gimme my shiny new DVD.)
CENSORSHIP BAD! (unless it's michael abusing his infinite mod points, or other mods shoving dissenting views down into -1 oblivion).
SMARTASSED, HALF-INFORMED VITRIOLIC QUIPS GOOD!
Slashdot, you really, really suck, and it's too bad. It could be so much better. So many decently intelligent people hang out here, but they're only welcome if they toe the Slashdot party line. Instead of being a forum for intelligent discussion, it's an anti-establishment bitch party inhabited by a lot of noisy children who aren't even out of college yet, and hence feel like they know everything.
