I really think that India employes some powerful propganda department. It seems everytime some comes out of India and everyone calls it crap, or some comments about India in a negative sense. Out of no where someone will rush to the defense, call it great, and tell us the rest of the world should watch out because India is taking over.
It also amazing how almost all these posts are worded the same with a drop in subject line or something.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I have before me the June 2003 issue of National Geographic, it has a very detailled article on the untouchable classes in India. It is really sad how they treat there own people.
I'll answer your the easy question first. No, I do not shop and wallyworld when I can avoid it, and I'm pretty good at avoiding it. I think I've only been in there twice in the last few years. No I don't really mind paying more for quality
Your missing my point. Captalism says that jobs can go overseas and that would be true if we where living in a pure capatiliztic society. But we are not living in a pure captalistic society. Surprise! In our society capitalism is guided by laws. We outlaw certain business practices such as monoploies. We regulate other business to insure that fair and honest business practices are followed.
Since we regulate many business with laws in is perfect sense to regulate who we do business with.
But that is pretty much the ideal isn't it, business. If we follow your example we get to choose who we do business with. We are telling our government that we do not want it to do business with companies that outsource our tax dollars to forgein countries. That is prefectly with in our rights to do so. Capitalism isn't about pure profetts, or at least it shouldn't be.
There are plenty of horror stories coming out of india about shotty work, dead lines not being reached, and good money being thrown after bad because project go wrong. Sure there is skilled labor in india, and I'm talking about programming but there seems to be more unskilled than skilled. Many companies that started on this outsourcing are bringing projects home after problems in India. I think simply the education system in India isn't up to snuff yet.
Capitalism has very little to do with this. This is about me, an American citizen, tell my congressman that I don't want my tax dollars going overseas. While there is not much that can be done to stop private companies from making the mistake of hiring unskilled labor there is plenty that can be done to stop the government.
Simply, on any government contract 3rd world labor cannot be employeed on this contract. Once companies relized that the government coffers are closed to them, they will think twice about employing unskilled contractors. Private companies are already starting relize this and bring thier india operations home.
Yeah, I guess it is about capitalism, you get what you pay for.
You make a lot of good points there, and most of them are true. I would like to comment on your, writting style though. Don't take this as a slam but in the future if you are going to post such a long post please brake some of it off in the paragraphs. Your post was very difficult to read but your points where right on the mark.
Yes, exactlly. My tax dollars should be staying at home to keep Americans employed instead of going to paying for social programs in India. Americans are overpaid by the standards of other countrys only. The cost of living over here is much more expensive than it is in 3rd world countrys.
Stop laying there on your collective asses and do something about it. Contact your congress critter in your home state and bitch until ledgislation so that state and federal contracts can't be giving to companies that outsource overseas.
Yeah its my opinion but not much of an opinion. I liked the movie true, but don't think much of Asimov's other books. And I have no clue who Sthendal is.
Screw that. Tell them if they don't stop threatening you or cut your connection you and your cousin bubba are going come over there with axe handles and play the bongos on thier knee caps. That should get thier attention and solve all your bandwidth problems.
I had that problem. They thought I was downloading movies. I fixed that thought. Told them the truth. I was downloading porn. Solved that prolem right away and haven't heard a peep out of them.
Relax, while the fsck is going on that will be plenty of time for you beat the holy shit out of the fucker that tripped over the power cord in the first place.
Plus many people are tired of fooling with people that can't speak decent english. I for one, have gotten to the point where I always ask for someone in states before I talk to tech. support.
I would rather have them buy a quality computer than some junk from Toshiba, HP, IBM, etc or thru Best Buy or CompUSA
This is exactly why I build them myself. Make a list of parts you need, research them, and build it. I know every part in my computer, know the history of the manufacturer, and what type of performance I can expect from both. I know not everyone can build a computer or has the time to do so, but if you can I recommend it.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. I tryed that good sumaritan routing a few years ago but once it starts you never get rid of them. Every little problem same thing. Twenty five bucks is my going rate. Cheaper than the local computer shop but it keeps them from calling me all the time with anything but the most serous problem.
I think you need to go back and read my post again. It's not what we will do to mr. middle east terroist. It's what we might do to the middle east. Sure, we may not get mr. terrorist but we might get the rest of them. Sure he may blow D.C. off the map but we may just flatten the middle east because of it. I'm not talking iraq, iran or any one pissant country, I'm talking all of them.
Before you answer, you might want to dig into the/. archives for the 9/11 posts and read some of those comments. Under 3000 people died in those attacks but there where calls from posters on/. to level the middle east. Look what happened because of those attacks, to countris became "leaderless."
Think what would happen if a million or more people died in a attack on US homeland. Esp. if that attack was on D.C. itself.

I think I miss your point. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not up to snuff on Mexican democracy but I think indian democracy sucks.
I think india would be better feeding the starving masses of people it has than going to the moon.
I'm sorry to say, but you maybe right about that.

Sorry, but you made some mistakes there. That should be the book was good and the movie was excellent.
Screw that. Tell them if they don't stop threatening you or cut your connection you and your cousin bubba are going come over there with axe handles and play the bongos on thier knee caps. That should get thier attention and solve all your bandwidth problems.

He has a point there, you really can't argue with that.
That is a load. I remember changing some settings on kermit and I could get it to cook along aleast as fast as Zmodem if not faster.
Your RFC is incomplete. I see nothing in there about flogging spammers with thier own intestens...
Amen! Preach on Brother, Preach On.
Make spam an act of war punishable with a 20 megaton fine....

I've actually had someone pay me this way. Gave me a roll of film with naked pictures of his girlfriend on it.
