Ukraine Holds 4th Largest Programmer Population
andrewuoft points out this BusinessWeek article on the budding technology sector of Ukraine; the article points out that Ukraine has -- "after the U.S., India, and Russia -- the fourth largest number of computer programmers in the world" and that "Even today, scientific institutes each year churn out some 50,000 science or technology graduates. Not surprisingly, Ukrainians don't see why their country can't become a big player in the global technology market, like India."
WTF eh0d, why must you throw so much h8 at me???
eh0d is EVERYBODYS daddy now. TekMonkey (649444): Can a moderator or admin ban this guy? Just look at his record.
first post!
w00t!
The Ukraine needs to overcome its heavy post-Soviet corruption first before it can grow tech businesses. (It's doing that, but progress is still needed)
JOBS OUTSOURCE YOU!
Maby the US should take it over, holding Ukraine with the middle east gives you border crontrol for ether taking over Europe or Asia.
after all the best way to keep the jobs in the US is to take um all over anyway.

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
If you're American, then you should learn Spanish because it's your countrie's second language.
If you're Canadian, then you should learn French because it's your countrie's second language.
If you are only interested in getting the college elective requirement satisfied, then go with French or Spanish because half of the words are the same as in English. German has a lot of simple words that are the same as English, but it gets really difficult after the first semester.
Any other language is far too much a pain in the ass to fool with. There will always be someone around that knows some English if you go to these places.
If you're a young male American, then whatever you do, don't study Arabic! You'll be the first one drafted after all the National Guard 35-year-old, weekend-warriors, '$150 extra a month and one weekend playing Rambo in the woods' people are returned home from their 'service' in the never-to-end Iraqi War.
All in all, take French. Even if you hate the French, it's still an easy language to study in order to get the college elective requirement done with. Second best choice would be Spanish, because you'll actually be able to talk to people after college. It will be real handy if there are no jobs when you get out of college and have to go work at the Burger King. Or want to go someplace really cheap to live that's warm and doesn't have psychotic police always shaking you down.
is that near Elbonia??
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
The prettiest girls there are; they all have the Mila Jovovich look with the slanted eyebrows.
