considering H1b visas cost about 2k not including the legal fees (goes to about 4k per person overall) and they have to be paid the prevailing wage, the issue is not that is it cheap labor. In fact it is more expensive. The question is, why cant they find people competent enough to fill those positions? obviously it would make sense to not use an H1B since it is cheaper not to.
I think there are two reasons why they cant fill those positions: a) people are used to dot.bomb rates and want too much b) the people who are unemployed or applied were not qualified
since we use bigatus of borg as the MS logo, isnt it time the sony logo was updated as well. Come on these people were installing rootkits on victims computers until very recently.
seriously a movie based around the Kobayashi Maru would be awesome. It could be one an oceans 11 type of "hiest" movie except in this case, Kirk is trying to rig the test so he can win.
most printers support bonjour (i.e. rendezvous v2 ) and all itunes clients and their clones do as well. Limewire and a ton of linux clients use it with DAAP to access itunes shares.
That last link Jasmine.com is definitely not safe for work. Slashdot linking to porn on the front page without a warning. Nice going. Oh, wait, no one even reads the F'n articles.
Brand X has been advertising Brand X product for a while now, but I haven't bought any of it, yet. I've accumulated a fair amount of Brand Y products over the years, including Brand X branded signal boosters, signal couplers, noise blockers, and troubleshooting tools. Even so, I'm pretty much fed up with Brand Y. Nothing I've bought has succeeded in making my Brand Y system more than 'just barely acceptable' and 'better than nothing but not by much'. A Google search for Brand X product doesn't turn up much other than their own advertisements and a couple of vaguely positive but not detailed reviews. Is this new technology going to take off? What's the community's consensus on home automation?"
could someone explain what on earth this is about. geez i laugh when people see something like PSP or DS and complain about it not being descriptive, but this is just extreme. Guys April fools was almost 2 weeks ago.
ok, here is the direct quote in context. Tell me where he is misquoted.
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system"
"The company has 280 employees, more than half of them in India, and it has opened an office in Taiwan"
Thats all the article says. You do know, there is a big difference between making something somewhere and designing it. To be fair i couldn't read the WSJ article because the yahoo login didnt work.
did you just claim that the ipod was designed and created in india? care to back that up? Apple makes a big deal with its designed in california stickers on every product. Lets see you prove the ipod was actually thought up in india.
I say this is all seriousness, is it really better to have lots of indian companies make flops like the simputer or to have a few american companies make things like Tivo. I dont mean that they are mutually exclusive, but is quantity better than quality? when did that happen?

neither are things the people hiring can fix.
considering most slashdot users use windows and IE...

"fair and balanced"
