It seems India's govt officials have finally learnt a trick or two from their American counterparts - how to announce grandiose defence research with a huge budget!
Evolution not to be taught, rape victims can control pregnancy by mind control, different standards for different races.....
America doesn't need external enemies... they have enough idiots in the country who are doing a better job at destroying it!
On the subject of Slashdot users' parties, why not conduct an anonymous poll to find out the distribution of slashdotters. There is definitely a big percentage of non-US slashdotters who would like to attend 'official'/. get-togethers in their neighbourhood(non-US). Or am I being too optimistic?
As I had said earlier..... this kind of arbitrariness and disrespect for rule of law is becoming more prevalent in the US of A. To non-Americans, the lure of America was the Rule of Law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law....."Despite wide use by politicians, judges and academics, the rule of law has been described as "an exceedingly elusive notion"[4] giving rise to a "rampant divergence of understandings... everyone is for it but have contrasting convictions about what it is"
I consider myself to be a safe driver. The ban on using cellphone driving has not prevented me from quietly using the cellphone. But hearing all that talk about 'using cellphone while driving is dangerous' has actually made me very careful while using the cellphone. I do not use it whenever the condition requires that I concentrate 100% on the road given the driving conditions at that time.

This is very interesting. Nobody says this to the US or European countries or Japan or China that you solve all your problems first before going in for scientific advancement. Even the richest of countries have the homeless and the destitute. The US should not go in for the Mars or Voyager or Pioneer missions as there still are some homeless people in New York? NASA's achievements are followed all over the World as the achievement of human-kind. Moreover, India is not a tin-pot dictatorship where things are done on the whims and fancies of the dictator. The middle-class in India is larger than the population of the whole of the US. They should not have any aspirations?
ho ho ho ho hohohhohohohohohoohohoho..........heh heh heh heh heh
Why are non-americans getting to see the weirdest possible stories emanating from the US of A?
Most of the end-users in various corporations and most of the Asians working in the IT industry grew up using windows and its derivatives. For a vast majority of the people in Asian countries, Win*.* was and is free because piracy knocked down the cost of the computer.
Also, most of the end-users bought windows based machines when they were in School because the games were available on Windows and for most, at that stage in life, the computer was just an entertainment device to be used for gaming, music and movies.
With the increase in adoption of Linux in Schools and the qualitative jump that Linux has experienced in the past few years, you shall see increased adoption of non-Windows OSs.
People living around the World think about the US as the place where there is the rule of law.
Don't see much difference between China/US/Russia/Nigeria...
The bare fact that you are asking/. for advice shows that you want to complete the project roll-out and fulfill your responsibility. If the new company really wanted you then they would wait.
Monitoring Twitter and Facebook is akin to putting police check-posts on the major highways but not on the back roads which are generally used by the not-so-innocent public for carrying on their activities. The regular users get inconvenienced but the bad guys get through!!

The latest upgrade of NortonMobile https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.symantec.mobilesecurity&hl=en does the same. Its enough to scare anybody who has even the slightest idea what it means. Anti-virus vendors working on behalf of the Law?

India spent $90 million to send a LRO (to the moon) as detailed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan-1. The US spent $583 million to do the same http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter. Why do you think jobs are being shipped overseas from the US?

When there is no electricity supply in the villages, this is an innovative way of giving 'power' to the people!

Welcome to the promised land... Now renamed "Democratic People's Republic of America" Hail "Injustice" Department.
