A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing
thefinite writes "This article needs to be read by anyone interested in the outsourcing of IT jobs to India, no matter your opinion of it. It dispels some rumors (for example, if Indian IT companies do such bad work, why are over half of Carnegie Mellon's highest-rated programming companies Indian?). It addresses all of the arguments. Perhaps most importantly, it adds faces to the problem. It not only tells us about the American programmers who are out of jobs, but also about the Indians who are getting them. In the end of it, this is what Free Trade is about: people. This article makes that clear."
SCO is Teh Suxx0r HAHAHAHAHA
How can people say BSD is dying when it has a mascot like this?! Linux needs to get its act together if it's going to compete with the kind of hot chicks and gorgeous babes that BSD has to offer!
You just can't take Linux seriously when its fronted by losers like these. Would you buy software from them? I don't think so! You Linux groupies need to find some sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. I mean are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?!
With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Don't you wish you could get one of these? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!
Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!
Because I fail it.
GNAA Interviews CowboyNeal
by GNAA staff
UPDATE! UPDATE!
Since the original posting of this article there has been some doubts about authenticity of CowboyNeal. Rest assured, however, he was indeed the real CowboyNeal. We could tell by the smell coming from his pants.
On January 17 2004, select members of the GNAA interviewed CowboyNeal on IRC channel #caoine at irc.caoine.org.
We will be right back after this commercial break!
According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x (including Mozilla) counts for only a measly 5% of browsers used to access Google. As you can see from the graph, this sample was calculated starting from March 2001 until September 2003.

I know the point of Slashdot is to collect and present stories of interest to technology oriented people, but is there really any need to print at least one story from each print edition of Wired, every single month without fail? I already have a wired subscription thanks! :-P
I sure would hate to be him right now. Is he looking for a deathwish or something?
Kiwiko Suggests an Enema
'I now give enema,' Kiwiko said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
'Enema?' echoed Paul.
'Yes, an enema,' she said matter of factly.
'What on earth for, Kiwiko?' Paul demanded. He was completely at a loss. First he thought he hadn't heard her properly or that perhaps an enema meant something different to her. But now it seemed that she meant what she said.
'Best Japanese girls always give enema,' she said smiling.
'But, Kiwiko, I don't want an enema. Why should I want an enema?'
'You always have enema with best Japanese girl. You must be clean inside as well as outside. You enjoy too,' she spoke reassuringly.
He had never heard that there were prostitutes in any part of the world that gave enemas to their clients before sex. It must be something peculiar to Hokkaido, or was it just an idiosyncrasy of hers?
'I'm not sure that I want an enema, Kiwiko,' said Paul now speaking in earnest. 'I've never had an enema and I don't particularly want to start now. I want to make love to you.
'You must have enema,' she said firmly. 'If you never have one you are not clean inside. Besides many men they like and enjoy as much as sex. It is like what you call an orgasm. Some men they can come with enema. And I will help you in other ways.
'Well, if you are sure, then I suppose I'll have to have it.' It sounded rather bizarre but if some men got an orgasm from an enema and she was also ready to assist him, then it might be worth trying, he decided.
'Englishman right to have enema with Japanese girl,' she said. 'Now I get you ready.'
He was sitting on a low bed but the girl now asked him to stand up whereupon she placed a rubber-covered board over the bed and asked him to lie down on it.
'You lie on left side,' she told him as he placed himself on the firm rubber board.
When he was in the right position she pushed his left leg forward and felt for his anus. He felt her fingers which she had quickly lubricated with her saliva pressing against his anus and a moment later one finger must have penetrated perhaps half an inch, though with some difficulty. She drew it out and as it was insufficiently lubricated it seemed to draw the membrane with it and Paul began to feel uncomfortable. But it was something worth putting up with he decided, for it wasn't everyday you had a Japanese teenager pushing a finger into your arse.
Kiwiko had now used a tube of lubricant and at this stage of proceedings continued to explore with her fingers, parts of his anus.
Japanese Preliminaries
She pushed her finger into his anus again and this time it slid in a little further, but she was still finding considerable resistance from the sphincter muscle. She enjoyed these preliminaries and was certainly in no hurry. She was certain, too, that unless her client was very different from other men he would soon begin to get a considerable amount of pleasure from the way her finger worked on his anus. He did.
It was the first time any woman had ever touched him in that part of his body, or, for that matter anyone of either sex had touched him. He found it pleasing at first and gradually it became almost exciting. He liked the way she kept lubricating her finger and then pushing it gently into the orifice, a fraction further each time. Then she would make a gentle attempt to widen the hole slightly before withdrawing her finger to lubricate it again.
He felt his whole body relaxing to the unique massage of his anal orifice and he had soon decided that it was an erogenous zone that he would have to pay more attention to in future. It was also a strangely pleasant thing to have a girl paying such a lot of attention to a part of the body that is generally despised and neglected.
He thought she must be almost ready to go ahead with the enema, and as suspected, she told him that she was not going to give him the enema.
'While your bottom is relaxed and you are exc
No, most of it was stolen.
For some definition of "stolen", anyway. From Cortez to the East India Company to the slave trade, natural and human resources were systematically removed from the rest of the world by European colonial powers.
Yes, since then, most of the wealth of the west has been generated. You have to understand, however, that it takes wealth to make wealth. The rest of the world is only just now starting to bounce back thanks to globalisation, despite the best efforts of wealthy countries to keep protectionism alive in all industries except the ones they do well.

and the chickenshit CEO's who outsource. this shit is getting serious. it's becoming a political issue. it's becoming a social issue. it's becoming a movement. have a nice day.
So what are you going to do? Burn down Apu's Quicky-Mart?
The CEO's are quite brave for daring to hire the best workers for the job, even when racists get angry about it.
How's life in the Montana compound?
