You havent has the pleasure of using VS 2010 with an IIS and SQL Express server instance (And McAfee) running on a 2Ghz C2D with 256MB RAM and WinXP have you?
I do stay in India, and have stayed here almost my whole life
Most of what you say is easily solved with enough money (if you are earning in excess of 500,000 INR/yr you'll be insulated from some of the issues at 1,000,000 INR/yr you're insulated from almost all of them)
Many items that Americans can purchase in a store are expensive or hard to find over there too, like air conditioners.
True for certain food items and electronics, but AC's are quite readily available
Other infrastructure is totally unreliable as well in nearly all residential areas
And thats why you usually end up getting your own backup generator,water tank,etc The bribes are a reality, but the amount is not too significant at those salaries
I would rather be lower middle class in America than upper middle class in India.
Most people would agree, and thats why I said similar. Its not the same, you dont have social security,etc. Then again, healthcare is quite affordable. You wont get bankrupted for downloading a song, but internet speeds are quite slow
There are positives and negatives to both the places.
MS already has a development center in India Actually if they DO move to India, Linux will be dead cause Windows licences will cost $20 instead of $200 Remember, salaries for equivalent positions in India are significantly lower
Actually, my experience has been that you pay only slightly less for the same skill level. The programmer gets a lot less, because there's administrative overhead, of course.
Administrative overhead could be a point Because for the same(similar) quality of life, you need significantly less money in India as compared to US (if you do a raw USD INR conversion)
Not completely FB and MS hire India's top students for work in US at USD 120,000 which transtales to INR 65,00,000 approx
A student with a similar skillset can get an average of INR 6-12,00,000 in India. (taking the lower range, its 10, taking the upper value it would become 5)
A fresher in a outsourcing company gets around INR 3,00,000 (hence the factor of 20) Some approximations, but you get the basic idea I guess
>1000W PS with a load drawing 1000W @ 80% efficiency would result in the PS trying to supply 1200W
The PS will draw 1200W from the wall to supply 1000W to the load the efficiency is of the PS
Well, it SHOULD be the caller who pays for the entire call Anyways, cant say for the rest of the world, but here in India, call rates are dirt cheap (someone below the poverty line can afford to purchase and use a mobile phone) QoS is a different story though
I have tried explaining it Most people atleast realise that they are watching distorted TV (helps that my home setup consists of a 25inch CRT 4:3 and a 32 inch LCD 16:9 side by side, fed from the same source so its very easy to show the distortion side by side)
Some will still insist on distorting the image since they "paid for a 32 inch TV, so will use all 32 inches"
Most people understand the black bars as being due to the shape of the image Not exactly as accurate as knowing the difference between aspect ratios, but close enough This video is in this shape, but the screen is in another shape so if I make it fill the entire screen it will get distorted. Easy enough to explain
The education system in South Korea is so broken where they put less importance in socialization, communication and debates skills and focus on learning math, physics, and English.
This happens in India as well, but school is 8AM to (2-4)PM here
2 scenarios
A) I can do homework and studies after midnight, but no games, then I am going to game till midnight and study after that
but if the restriction wasnt there, B) I would finish off studies first and game after that for whatever amount of time I want
in A, I'm playing with a fresh mind, and studying with a tired mind
In B its the reverse
Why would the govt. want students to study with a tired mind?
I wish Apple had gone with AMD processors from the beginning. Maybe then AMD would not have a mobile platform practically dead in the water
He wishes Apple had gone with AMD.
Follows up with "AMD would not have a mobile platform practically dead in the water" implying apple going with AMD would lead to better battery life
Wasnt refering to that part.
I meant, doesnt AMD need better battery life to be considered by Apple?
Apple going with AMD wouldnt improve the battery life as OP implies, AMD having better battery life would increase chances of it getting into Apple devices

India uses a different comma separation system, used it out of habit with the rupee values
Yeah, the figures are valid, ignore the commas

Some approximations, but you get the basic idea I guess
If standard salary in US is USDx/hour for a developer
Then for an equivalent skill level in India, they will have to pay approx USD(x/10)/hour
if they decide to pay x/20 , then obviously they will get lower quality
They need to go for cheap, not the absolute cheapest

fixing it until it broke
Thats the spirit!!
But seriously, whats up with US paying to receive calls in the home circle, and messages overall?
but what are clocks and answering machines using wireless for?

Shift the server and gateways to the kids room as an exchange for 24x7 internet?

But their job would be paying much more than someone who knew what they were doing, but from a less notable school (atleast for the 1st few years)
But delivering medicines still leaves the possibility of the bacteria developing resistance open
nanomolecules that can specifically target cells and deliver medicine to them anywhere in the body
Instead of delivering medicine, why not make them carry some sort of nano weapon to destroy the target cells?
