  6. Re:Spare Us on Python Is On the Rise, While PHP Falls (dice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A real programmer does not care about languages. A real programmer does not attempt to write a kernel in perl. A real programmer does not attempt to write a glue script in C . A real programmer cares more about the optimum solution to the problem than which tools to use .

    Carter's Little Liver Pills ( actually bisacodyl ) were laxative pills sold as "medication" for headache, constipation, dyspepsia, and biliousness . Shows how important taking a good dump can be.

  13. Re:The fate of Indian IT outsourcing on Fury and Fear In Ohio As IT Jobs Go To India (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    have you been to India lately ? The educational institutions there are tuned to IT outsourcing . I'm not talking of the oldies like Vinod Khosala but the new crop . Cognizant does not do kernel programming nor does Infosys and the etc .

  14. The fate of Indian IT outsourcing on Fury and Fear In Ohio As IT Jobs Go To India (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Will be sealed with the advent of better systems and automation technologies. Most of the jobs that go to India are menial tasks which require no or very little skill .The core stuff still happens in the west. There are extremely few kernel programmers in India. So think these layoffs as having been replaced by a robot.

  15. Business is different on Corporations and OSS Do Not Mix (coglib.com) · · Score: 1

    Linus Torvalds started writing a kernel because he wanted a unix like OS for his own use.

    Stallman started writing the shell and the tools because he envisioned a operating system for the community by the community and of the community.

    IBM started using the linux kernel because they saw business sense in using a good quality kernel which was "usable" at a fraction of the cost of their usual software.

    It is futile to expect these two groups to work or even understand each others goals and aspirations. They are fundamentally different.
