Your whiny ass point being? oops sorry, you don't have a point. You are merely writing sentences to re-assure your fragile and low sense of self worth that you have something to say to against an argument which rips to shreds what you had to say earlier. What a dumbass. I truly feel sorry for you.
While you are going all holy and grandiose about it, I would like to point out that the only reason Borland could not (yes, that's could not, not did not) make there developers sign those contracts was because Borland was based in California, where such contracts are not allowed.
Get your facts right before getting up on a soapbox to give a speech about how 'NICE' and 'GOOD' Borland was and all that crap.
Well I did read it till the very end. I must say it was very interesting to see both you guys (or gals) to start from two extremely different angles and end up making peace. Bravo! I wish more people were like you.Off go both of you in my friends list.
By the way, this must be a first for slashdot that a probable flamewar ended up like this.
Are you serious or are you, like your name suggests, shooting crap? 6 Lakhs/year for an engineer with 4 years of experience is too high? When was the last time you went to India? Fresh engineers with 0 experience get starting salaries around 6-8 Lakhs a year now. A 4+ year experience can easily get paid between 9-12 Lakhs a year.
My guess is they will stand firm. Standing firm against pressure related to siftware patents is NOTHING compared to trade bans and technology export bans which India has had to endure due to it's refusal to sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. Basically, they did not give a flying fuck about any american pressure and went ahead and developed nukes anyway. What makes you think they will even listen to a random american diplomat pushing the agenda of american big-business?

if a computer is used to make this reduction, then the number of small, obvious steps can be in the hundreds of thousands--impractical even for the most diligent mathematician to check by hand. Critics of computer-aided proof claim that this impracticability means that such proofs are inherently flawed.
So basically what they are saying is that if the proof is too long to be checked, then it is flawed? WTF?

"Server operating systems are largely commoditized," DiDio said, adding that many companies were not tracking their operating costs closely enough to base their decisions on total cost of ownership, or TCO, the main cost metric when comparing Linux and Windows.
If they are not tracking operating costs, then that means they are only tracking the initial cost of acquisition, which for Linux, is..umm...zero. So how exactly is the windows TCO equal to that of Linux? What a fucking troll of an article.
Hilarious, This is the first time I have seen Google chide Microsoft directly.

11. When will you take Google Gulp out of beta?
Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory - and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom.

You may cry now.
Duse, you are so fucking out of clues that I really don't know where to start. Have you heard of Tibet? I can give you at least 7 other examples.

How insightful. Who do you think would own this "Microsoft Indonesia"? "Microsoft America" is who. So your point was?
Short answer, yes.
Long answer, Yeeeessssss!

Mod parent up please.

Thank for articulating what frustrates me day in and day out.
How can they be "Suckers" if they do not have a girlfriend.

TCO in this case I would assume to include labor.
and labor is always an operating cost, never a fixed cost. So your point is..?

Insightful? Mods on crack? Having lived in japan, I know that the parent is a troll, and yet it gets modded as Insightful???
