Growth in Indian Offshoring Slowing
quantumstream writes "CNN/Money is reporting that high wages are causing some software companies to look to other countries for outsourcing, including Eastern Europe and several other SE Asian countries. Gartner Research believes a drop of 45% in India's share could happen in the next two years. Is this the beginning of the end of the dominance of India in the tech offshoring market?"
I can't even get St. Louis employers to call me back when I match their job critera 100% perfectly. Maybe if we invade India I can get a job again.
That was pretty funny.
i arrived in india on a friday. immediately, i realized how shitty of a country it was. the 9 year old boy prostitute i had sex with had an anus that smelled better than the whole country. i paid him $2 and his father was a supervisor for aol tech support.
but there is STILL "artificial" scarcity in cars. Does Honda go and tell everybody exactly how to make a Prius? No, they don't, thus "artificial" shortages of Priuses are created. Does Toyota use all their factory capacity? Not all the time. They make cars according to demand. They could make a lot more cars, but they choose to make the number of cars that they think will make them the maximum amount of profit. Thus, "artificial" scarcity(the scarcity is not based on the amount of material available but instead based on human decision)
The Free software movement has a lot of things going for it, but Stallman-omics is pure and utter BS. He seems to think that the value of something is solely based on it's scarcity. But outside of raw materials, scarcity alone is not the determining factor of the value of items. Perceived usefulness, cost to build, even stuff like brand names have value.

"there seems to be an acceptance of India as a place were software work really gets done."
LOL. That's extremely funny. I've never seen anything but utter crap out of India - when it gets done. And the vast majority of comments from other people who have worked with India teams are very much the same.
I guess you've missed the comments about the work at major corporations coming BACK from India? Or the links to articles which show great dissatisfaction with the work over there? Or the link which showed that the average cost savings was only 10%? Some of these links/discussions were up there on an article from yesterday.
While work might be done there, it is usually utter crap.
No, I'm American. And I always thought the British didn't think of themselves as European. There don't seem to be any official rules here, do there?.
As for the guy who thinks it's the "continent" of Australasia, you just pulled that out of your hat, didn't you?
"Is this Winkhorst a nova criminal?" "No just a technical sergeant wanted for interrogation."
For a while, we did limit their influence. It was a movement called liberalism.
Now, it's quite the fashion to mock liberals, in the name of being a super-patriot. Everyone should remember anyone who would say bad things about liberalism is someone who would gladly kneel to a king.
And if you don't think so, then your education was sadly lacking and you don't realize it.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Hey, how about you put your tongue on my cock and catch the cum coming out? Make sure you let me see it before the swallow.
I am jacking off all over your face. You can't have an intelligent conversation, so I'll just fuck you instead. Deal?
