  1. Why is this an interesting story? by Improv · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wikipedia is getting new knowledge all the time. If you really want to find out what's new, just visit here. I don't understand why new Wikipedia entries are meaningful stories for slashdot.

    For every problem, there is at least one solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.

    Here is another Indian fellow. Amazing to see them from NASA to all top technical US universities to Microsoft to IBM to Oracle to Medical industry to hotel industry and there are just about a million of them in the country... And you thought they only are cheap labor. You would be surpised if you start looking at the top research institutions in the country. They are everywhere.... This might seem like a flamebait but most of IT guys think of them as cheap labor which in not necessarily true since they are involved in a lot of top research to silicon valley startups...
