Pffff! So, does this mean that if she loses she'll not get to do an out of court settlement with a few thousand dollars, but, instead will be asked to pay a few hundred thousand dollars?
With a laptop where I don't touch the screen I have to do some heavyduty cleaning every so often...I am wondering what the Tablet PC owners have to confound with.
And won't the screens of these PCs be prone to etch marks on it if the user is a bit of a hardpressing writer or maybe keeps drawing in the same patterns.
I personally thought that Tablet PCs was an unnecessary product. Looks like the market is reflecting the same thought.
Even when I'm in a meeting, I don't turn the sound off because of the unbridled envy that seems to show up in the eyes of my, granted mostly male, co-attendees. So far no one has complained.
No one has complained, maybe, because they are juniors to you. Did you realize that? They sure must be muttering "JERK" under their breath, anyways.
to feed? The article doesn't say anything about that? With their food floating around, I hope they have trained the mice to swim to their food or all they'll have when the spaceship lands on earth will be a few starved-to-death mice.
You leave some sand under your pillow and the next morning your boobs are one size bigger! If you want it bigger then repeat the cycle. You see, Dolly Parton ran this cycle for 5 days.
> Quality healthcare? (good enough that your leaders get treated in the damn country as opposed to wasting taxpayer money and scurrying to the US for medical treatment? I might add: lots of sorry India-originated Asses there too!) Or is world-class healthcare the right of India's top 0.1% only?
We have basic healthcare for everyone! One doesn't need an insurance here to get treated for fever. Now about quality healthcare, your fellow-citizens are found loitering in our Apollos, Escorts, etc heart hospitals for cheap cardiac surgeries!!
> Good education for their kids? India's education system is a purgatory: great talent filtration but little teaching. Of course, with the crowds you have this is acceptable.
Here you obviously mean that the whole of US has an option of studying at the many Challenger Schools but rather enjoys it more at the places like the dime-a-dozen Thornton Junior High!
> Higher education? little innovative work, and what innovation happens is mostly "cost innovation" -- a ceaseless struggle to "optimize" generally available tech to suit "deshi" budgets: Simputer, Cordect. No wonder *good* IITians sneer at doing graduate school there.
Only demented minds would associate cost-effective innovation with anything negative! Our PARAMs(super computers), Barhmos(supersonic cruise missiles), etc, all denied technologies, give your country strategists sleepless nights and yes they kick-ass in price competitiveness. Your IITian colleagues, whatever reason you've been given, are there for a cushy developed country lifestyle. Period.
> Somewhat less seriously - a BMW Series 5? Surely the 44X people should be able to afford it? Why do they keep driving stuff like the Hyundai Accent and the Corolla (rock bottom cars here?)
And does your 44X have the money to hire a chauffer for the BMW Series 5??? The 44X here can hire one servant for cleaning the house, one to wash the car, one to get groceries for you, one to look after the child(ren). Why do they keep doing such things themselves?
Oh you think India has problems. We would be led to believe the developed McDonald/Brittany US would be devoid of problems. You've got preferrential allotment of seats for minorities(blacks), you've got obesitiy, you have convoluted Malvos roaming your streets, you have Ku Kluxers hunting down Sikhs(god save you if you are one), you have Bill Gates and then the king of all troubles, the junior Bush! Like you guys already didn't have enough enemies, this guy is spending his tenure at white house making new ones. God, really, bless your collective timebomb-laden asses.
90% of the current 44Xers had their fathers going to jobs in bicycles at some point. Driving Corollas one generation down was not even dreamt of. Just reading samachar.com and selective quotes from Indian colleagues, these are not what that make an expert on India, stupid.
You argue like a woman! Wouldn't be surprised if you are one(even inside):) If you can't win them confuse them seems to be your motto:P
The point made in the article was to make u picture what a $10K salary of US can buy in India and that EQUALS Rs 500K which is a LOT of money in India. With both wife and husband earning that kind of salary the family is in the top 5% income-earner bracket.
If you ask your Indian colleagues more meaningful questions you will come to know that Indians are known to be the largest savers in the world and not live out of credit cards.
Talking about medical insurance my company buys me a group insurance for Rs5K which covers me for Rs1000K worth of medical bills. Get me a comparable HMO or PPO policy in US who don't point at the fine print when the need comes.
I'd say, if your employer gives $10K more, I'd be happy to replace you and I'll do a better job than pulling figures out of a bitter India-Originated ass.
Let me attempt to dispel some of your misconceptions, here.
$11000 = Rs 500000(approx.) per annum = Rs42000 per month.
Buying a cheap DVD player will take up 20%-25% of her monthly income.
A cheap DVD player in India costs Rs5000 = 12% monthly income. Which doesn't make a huge dent in one's salary. A cheap microwave again comes for Rs5000.
She deals with electricity blackouts and water shortages at home.
You are comparing US with a developing nation, for crying out loud. BUT, a decent invertor costs sub-Rs.10000(2% of annual salary) which will support a few fans and lights for a few hours...not a big problem!
She better not get really sick because she wouldn't have enough money to pay for it, even with India's cheaper medical facilities.
If she's earning that much per annum chances are that her company has a decent medical insurance for her...if not then she can purchase a decent policy herself for hardly Rs.10000 per annum(2% of her annual salary).
And yes, there's no social security, so if she ever loses a job, she'll have to fall back on family for a much more impoverished existence and hope they have enough extra to support her.
Mod me down if u will but I feel that the Family backbone is much stronger than the peanuts that you guys call social security.
Please have your facts and Maths straight before you India-bash.
Ah! Another ABCD!! God knows how much this species is pitied. With your "Indians don't 0wn the world" attitude, I'll be cheering when your work-permit is rejected by the Indian Consulate:) And, watchout, with that attitude you won't get an Indian bride, too.
The Indians are just waiting for you, the smooth Multi-Linguists, to apply for jobs there or, maybe, transcribe for them, to get back at you.
On a more serious note, you will not find it surprising to see a few shoddily written resumes or documentation from some really brilliant people. Did it occur to you that they may have a very good reason, inspite of their grammar, that they are replacing you guys.

Do you make a bonfire of all the fire-crackers you purchase or you burn them one-by-one? I think he is wise burning one $20 bill at a time.
:D
I, personally, would quickly pass the $20 bills I have to the local Best Buy and have the govt track them instead
a "Beowulf Cluster" without batting an eyelid.
God sure did put in a lot of thought when he designed a lot of things which would be held in the hand for long periods of time.
Pffff! So, does this mean that if she loses she'll not get to do an out of court settlement with a few thousand dollars, but, instead will be asked to pay a few hundred thousand dollars?
Is she on a suicide mission here?
Oh my god! I hope my wife doesn't hear about this.

RTFA! An Indian Journal reporting an American Company's Director saying that, doh!
RTFA, modders!
GirlFriend: Honey, I have a nagging headache today :(
:)
Hanson: No Problemo! Hertz is more than willing
Could you cut some slack here.
Heck, I've been trying to get some outsourced work
done here for a month now.
others too feel that the header should be either "Profile of a Virus Writer" or "The mind of a Virus Writer"?
to feed? The article doesn't say anything about that? With their food floating around, I hope they have trained the mice to swim to their food or all they'll have when the spaceship lands on earth will be a few starved-to-death mice.
It's "mice" and not mices.
Your band is so bad that playing it on Real Player spawns virii

we feature you as a logo. ;)
Looks like google doesn't need an IPO, after all
And, introduce life to the planet if didn't exist before?
