  1. Taser International's stock price plummets. on New Dell Laptops Give Users a Literal Shock · · Score: 2

    "Don't Dell me, Bro !!"

  2. Re:You can't get there from here. on Believe the Occupational Outlook Handbook? · · Score: 1

    Software engineers and software analysts are *highly skilled* positions that require experience in addition to at least a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering or Software Project Management.

    Programming, on the other hand, can be done by anybody with a Computer Science or related mathematical degree, usually a two year Associate's degree. India is graduating 50,000 people with this training EVERY YEAR.

    Most Indian graduates, the ones who become software programmers, at the very least have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Information Technology. So, they start as Software Programmers in their jobs, build their experience and then slowly move towards becoming Software Engineers or Solution Architects and so on and move to the US.

    Of course, when working as Software Programmers, they are sent to the US for training and once they've got the skills required, their US counterparts are either downsized or promoted to manage some of these Programmers in India.

  3. Matrix with a different ending ? on Deathly Hallows / OOTP Movie Discussion · · Score: 1

    Did anyone notice the fact that the ending was quite similar to the Matrix, apart from the fact that the protagonist(s) are alive at the end of it ?

    How does Neville get Gryffindor's sword to kill Nalini?

    The sword is drawn out of the sorting hat, when it falls off his head. This is in the book, you know :)

    And the snake's name is Nagini, not Nalini.

  5. Yahoo Mail is better than GMail ? on Yahoo's Geek Statue · · Score: 4, Funny

    Since when ? It is like microsoft presenting an award to themselves that Windows is the most secure OS - Exactly.

  6. Re:Proof on HP Offers Linux Purchasers Indemnification · · Score: 2, Informative

    Almost all the code contributed to the Linux kernel for the Itanium port was done by HP.

  7. Are these old or are these just concepts ? on It's a Laptop - It's a Desktop · · Score: 1
  8. Probably redundant on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 1

    ...but this still seems to prove nothing, considering the fact that only comments have been matched, but no actual code (which *might* be matching) has been shown.

  9. Bluetooth is..... on How Good Is BlueTooth's Security? · · Score: 1

    wireless USB or you already know that ?

    So, whatever encryption that can be used for USB can also be used for Bluetooth. Correct me if I am wrong.

  10. Compaq did it long ago on IBM Launches Linux Desktop in India · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Compaq has been selling Linux Desktops for sometime now, In India. Funny, it never made news ;)

    That is the irony of the whole thing. Whenever IBM even mentions the name Linux, it is worthy of news, unlike other MNCs.
