Yes, you would own roughly 10 large corporations if you owned so many of their shares that they mentioned it prominently on their home page. How about you get a sense of scale? Maybe then things will make more sense.
1) Start an IP reputation system 2) Sell mass mailing devices 3) Sell reputation for money (http://www.bondedsender.com/fees.html) 4) Profit! (Not yet, sadly. Customers are smarter than that.)
At least dont lie! This is from the home page of bondedsender.com
IronPort and Return Path announced that the companies have signed a partnership agreement where Return Path will take over all operational, marketing and development activities for the Bonded Sender Program. As part of the transaction, IronPort will continue to provide infrastructure for the program and will become a shareholder in Return Path, with IronPort Founder and CEO, Scott Weiss joining Return Path's board of directors.
Being a shareholder means "owning" in case you didn't know. Not to mention providing infrastructure.
And send unlimited messages without fear of being blocked for only $10k a year! (Remember from past Slashdot stories that spammers make millions and can easily afford this).
They have a special pricing for "Bulk" senders. "Legitimate commercial senders can apply today."
wow, thats crazy. any way if you ever feel the need to squeeze even more work into your already inhumane schedule (it takes a cumulative of about 100 hours of work on a grad school application) hit me up at heuristix at gmail. i know a thing or two about applications and would be glad to be of some help.
Have you considered grad school? Its not hard to get into a school that will pay tuition + stipend for you. Worked like a charm for me. Like you I too come from a not very well known undergrad school. Getting my grad degree at a very reputed school can go a VERY long way to help u getting a job. You just have to get a good score at the GRE, get good recommendations from professors and/or employers that highlight your ability to think outside the box and apply those ideas and write a persuasive statement of purpose.
no jobs? Thats bullcrap. I am one semester away from graduating with a masters in CS. With normal effort (applying through campus and through company websites) I have given about 6 interviews already this semester. I already have 2 offers and 2 interivews in the second round. And I am one of these foreigners who requires H1B. We don't get paid any less than an American employee, big companies, especially ones like Microsoft and Google pay everyone the same. If anything they have to pay more to sponsor visas (lawyers fees).
Teoma has this great feature called Related search which is very useful. Basically if you look for a particular topic, the search engine identifies all related topics and offers you a one click access to all of them. Makes the search equally usable for both a rookie and a domain expert using the same search term.
Actually you'll be surprised to know that the Indian government subsidises the education of almost every college student in India. For example, even while several private engineering schools have sprung up recently (last 10 years), even these colleges have about 50 percent "Free" seats where students pay about 200 dollars a *year* to study. The government also puts a cap on maximum fees at about 2000 dollars a year and subsidises the rest of the cost.
interesting fact my ass, this might have happened at one or two places, but even illiterate people know the symbols of congress and BJP, the two major parties by heart. They could vote for the right party in their sleep:P
Excessive use of the Internet might not induce psychological problems but its certainly makes sure that the patient never faces the real world and delays curing herself. Its like burying your head in the sand.
I came to the U.S. as a student this year and textbooks are by far far far the most expensive things here as compared to India. Literally all my textbooks cost from 10 to 20 times more than the same books in India. So, I get my friends who are coming from home to get books for me. Eg: Computer networks by Andrew Tannenbaum - the most widely used CN textbook costs $88 dollars on amazon. Back home, I bought the same edition brand new, though in softcover and with 'international edition' on it for 5 dollars ! The contents are the same - word for word !
I have never seen a branded laptop that costed less than 1700 dollars in India. Assembled machines (non branded) start at around 500 dollars if you want a half decent machine. Branded desktops START at around 800 dollars.

Why don't you address the main issue here - the ethics of selling anti-spam devices and permission to send bulk mail for money?
Ciphertrust has been profitable for a long time. Why don't you start with learning how to spell "profitability"?
1) Start an IP reputation system
2) Sell mass mailing devices
3) Sell reputation for money (http://www.bondedsender.com/fees.html)
4) Profit! (Not yet, sadly. Customers are smarter than that.)

That would be because spammers ARE spoofing those IP addresses to send mail

Thats true, and the day I get a non code-monkey, non COBOL job at home will be the day I go, nay the day i RUN home.
On second thoughts, I'd prefer to fly.
What would your ancestors have done if the Indians had told them that. Hey wait a minute...they did! I, on the other hand, come in peace.
Wait, let me guess. Is it a nation of warrior women or is it the biggest store on earth ;)

the President gave him some tips on what shampoo to use..after all both the President and Stallman a long long mane ;)
Not likely seeing how the 'Father' of Pakistan's nuclear program has just been fired for illegally selling nuclear secrets to Libya and Iran.
Sir, I suggest you first learn how to spell outsource :P.
