And you're a loser who can't spell "transparent" so go away. Fucktard.
This was the kick in the pants I needed to finally call up Senator Clinton's office (+1 (716) 854-9725) in Buffalo and ask what the fuck they were thinking when they invited Tata to set up shop in Buffalo in March (http://www.tata.com/tcs/releases/20030310.htm)...
What a chilling experience. The guy that answered is the director of the Buffalo office, Jim Kane. I thought he'd just spew some platitudes and hustle me off the phone, instead he came out swinging. I'm guessing he thought I was a shill from some opposing political party, 'cause his stance softened somewhat (but not much) when he found out I have voted mostly Democrat in the past and that I really am an unemployed software engineer...
I couldn't get a straight answer as to why Senator Clinton actively sought out an Indian offshoring services firm in to New York State instead of working with one or more domestically owned and run ones in Western New York.
In the past, I've thought the "beholden to the corporate interests" stories we've seen in the news have been a little overwrought--I'm reconsidering my opinion in light of my conversation with Jim Kane.
Among the more fantastic comments Jim made:
- There are University of Buffalo graduates making $100K in Binghamton working for defense contractors.
- Tata Consultancy Services is a bigger company than General Motors. I could not get him to state whether this is as a measure of revenues or in terms of headcount.
- TCS is creating IT jobs in Buffalo, not outsourcing them back to back to India.
BTW, if anyone is looking for a job, you may have to pay your own airfare to India for the interview, but here are some leads: http://www.tata.com/0_careers/vacancies/index.htmNow he knows how Billy feels every morning :)

I have root ssh access, but only if you have the right key. password auth is turned off.
Will this affect my server? Should I turn off the root auth for now?
Im typing this over ssh as we speak, I can't do without it!
Man, you're missing a lot of stuff pass by while you're sucking Theo's dick!
Somebody needs to work in a "this is Microsoft's Fault!!!" angle. Come on, this is slashdot; you guys are letting me down.
