Trust is not about Indians, but the consquences of poor sourcing and process control. Farming out work to a Tahitian subsidiary is very different from farming out work to an Tahitian contractor (reputation investment by Tahitian contractor not withstanding). Better standards and process regulation (not specification) will increase remote (in or out) sourcing

Thanks. In the twelve years I've been consulting since 3yEE/1yCS sans degree, I've had nine managers. Most were good. Two were not. The first was the best, at that time the youngest-ever manager at IBM Toronto Manufacturing, BH.
Once when I was complaining to anyone who would listen, about the moral injustice of known-but-unacknowledged shortcomings in an internal tool, BH gave me a coupon for a free pastry+coffee at the IBM cafeteria, noting how hard I had worked on the particular project. No one else saw the coupon, he only spent about 2 mins. The moral injustice was not righted, yet I worked twice as hard after that and never forgot the gesture.
The way I usually say it is that my manager is my interface to the rest of the company, who gets me the resources I need to do my job while moderating the demands on my time.
Yes. When a manager does this with backbone, the loyalty engendered is priceless.
Make it easier for them to do their job. Your answers are just manifestations of the above.
#2 (politics) and #3 (resources) fit your answer.
#1 is most important ("Be All That You Can Be"). The best managers/leaders combine example with opportunity to leave their reportees with expanded self and industry identities.
#4 is marketing and internal PR that increases funding for the first three.
Depends on whether you want continuous low-power output or periodic high-power output separated by recovery intervals. With the right duty cycle, you can pump amps of current through an LED that would otherwise fry instantly. Chances are good that an offshore worker can underprice your low-power role.
The opinion is substantive and sufficient reason for higher moderation. If the anon poster is not a Sun employee, higher visibility for their claims will encourage a rebuttal by Sun employees (anonymous or otherwise).
Book OSS development expenditures as advertising. There is ample precedent for corporate sponsorship of arts and sporting events. Such investments have a goal of increasing brand recognition and other metrics of corporate reputation. If this approach were adopted by more companies, standard metrics for evaluating brand returns on OSS investment would emerge.
Where are files stored in this system? The description says that only links are on the extranet, but it also talks about file uploading. How are project documents shared with people outside the corporate firewall?
I did find it, but it's not quite the same. The tree view shows a tree index but only single messages. The old combination of tree index and nested messages is gone. The new thread view is a nested view that is similar to the current 'no frames' thread view. Not the end of the world, but more work to see the message context.
Who owns the content of Yahoo Groups (or SourceForge mailing lists -- which don't even have a search function that I could find)? Maybe Google Groups could search both Yahoo Groups and SourceForge Lists, in addition to UseNet?
'View thread' has been separated into a default nested view and a 'tree' option that is a tree+single-message. Not as usable.
Usenet Message-ID for addressing has been replaced by X-Google-Thread. This is a Walled Garden: it breaks all existing URLs that link to Usenet threads on Google and divorces Usenet GUIDs from Google GUIDs. Likely purpose is unification with Google Email UIDs. Fair enough, but they should still include Usenet Message-ID in the raw source and allow backwards-compatible addressing via Message-ID. There is a 1-1 mapping, so there is no technical reason to destroy all current URLs.
#1 is a big loss of functionality. It must be there somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
I checked it out. What happened to "View Thread"? They're not seriously removing that, are they? Google took over the Deja archives *and* they solicited archive tapes and CD-ROMs from the wider Usenet community. If they are going to hide those public historical records behind a clunky interface (or move the good interface behind a pay service), they need to make the archives publicly available to a non-profit (e.g Internet Archive), where they can remain accessible to the Usenet community.
Otherwise, it's time to repeat the same process that took place when Deja folded. Recreating the archive from the distributed community.
Be it energy or open-source software or broadband or rice genomes. If an entity, artifact or class of artifacts becomes a control nexus, it becomes a vehicle for the transition of incumbent power.

Be happy. Sun will have more success selling "Java for the desktop" than "Linux for the desktop", even though JDS is 95% Linux and 5% Java. If there's one product Sun has been successful at marketing, that product would be Java. The localization and configuration management improvements will eventually find their (cloned) way back into other Linux distros. Sun contributes to Linux in a credible way without inviting Solaris comparisons. Everyone wins.

Sorry my good managers reminded you of bad ones.

Fantastic advice. Are you now in management?

2. Firewall politics.
3. Negotiate resources.
4. Advertise results.

A change of thought often requires a change of guard. Time brings both.
