Why do you care about repeat business in a global market?
Hmmm... probably something along the lines of outsourcing.epinions.com is called for.
Write scathing reviews against people that defrauded you by pumping up their resumes -- lest other people make the same mistakes you did. It also provides a feedback mechanism to the people that genuinely care about what they have done -- where they have gone wrong.
Hmm.. that is the cost of the worker if the company were to open a branch in India. However, if the company were to work with already established companies there, the charge per capita would be more (IMHO). The overheads and the middlemen would have to be paid off.
How much more than a bare bones coder is a question that would depend on the project (what language, the time-to-market/urgency, what model of operation is chosen -- just code/design&develop/design&develop&test&mainta in etc)
Ummm... the cost to the company to employ one person in India is going to be more significant than just $5k per annum. I would think that the projects are negotiated such that the break down would be closer to $5k per month per head.
Of course it would be closer to $5k p.a. if the company itself opened a branch there.
And I would imagine that the final worker would be paid closer to $5k p.a. only.

But I see your point, the flexibility is lost -- however sending many robotic explorations and getting little packets of data is a "manageable risk" situation rather than putting all the eggs in one (certainly fewer number than robotic probes) human venture would give us either zero or lot of results.
Mistook your first personal singular pronoun to mean that "you" were talking to all the people coming to your website.
In your situation, you could persuade your team to work with standards-only subset of IE compatibility. Mention the perceived advantages of catering to the Mozilla public/getting a "W3C-certified" icon on your webpages.
It may not get you anywhere today. But it may open a mind somewhere.
If no one changes after a year or so, then probably Moz is not a good idea after all (for your sector of business).
(number of folks that have started using Moz/Thunderbird directly by my urging = 6 and counting.)
I have a better idea. How about putting "Please do not use IE because of the following 129 reasons" in IE-HTML as a click through page during nomal link clicking on your webpage (only for IE user agents) -- that way you can still talk to 90% of the people you want to talk to and yet bring about awareness.
Certainly it is a better idea than to ask the Moz developers to ape every I.E bug.
What their paycheck says and what are actually paid are 2 very different things. There usually is a middleman that exploits the worker/situation by slicing a huge amount off of what the company pays the H1B contractor.
BTW INS regulations do not change as fast as market conditions (or so I believe). Nor does it work on industry averages -- you have to prove that a similar position with an American in it earns $X p.a and say that you are going to pay this alien more because of the extra skills (--- this is usually where the lying occurs).
Hmmm and the new comers bought cars, lived in good apartments, bought all furnishings and brought over dependents out of 23K -- move over Greenspan, we have a winner here.
H1B's have to *prove* it, eh? Gee, I bet the company "helps" them fill out all those forms, don't they?
The H1B applications are filled out by the company.
If you know/knew any obvious violations (assuming you knew how this worked) you could have complained. Some companies were fined/closed down due to mal practises.
Even the smallest of basic one-person apartments, in the areas where this kind of bandwidth is available, cost upwards of $800/month.
for a moment I thought you were talking about the Bay area!
One of my co-worker at $33/hr was replaced by a H1B @ $9.50/hr.
I call bullshit on this one.... H1Bs have to *prove* that they earn more than the local available alternative before they are issued visas. 9.50/hr sounds dangerously close to the minimum wage.
Also, the dot-com boom created a lot of "programmers" who weren't. For example, in the midst of the boom we would have people show up at seminars who said that they "programmed in HTML" (and sometimes a little Perl) and felt like they knew enough about "programming" that they were ready for the big time. Naturally, they were swamped when faced with real programming because we assume competence in some C-like language, but these poor people had been fooled into the hubris of thinking "I don't need those prerequisites, programming is easy and I'm smart" (see Incompetence for more about this). But the dot-boom created a demand for anyone who could type any kind of code, even HTML, with, I'm sure, the idea that these folks could eventually be trained into more complex jobs. But now, the out-of-work ranks are filled with people who say they are programmers (because they were told so when they had their jobs), and yet don't have the skills necessary to do serious programming. Thus at least some of the jobless numbers come from artificial inflation of those who claim to be a programmer but aren't.

I read Slashdot post intelligent, humourous, insightful comments. Sometimes I even read the articles.
