I'm curious, Genndy is quite amazing, and got me so excited that I headed off to Spumco's site. Only to find a NetSol portal!
Anyone know if Spumco is dead???
With animators/directors like Genndy Tartakovsky, why isn't John Kricfalusi making a comeback? Looks like cartoon network would be a good home for him. Anyone know???
All the info I Googled re. Spumco comes up with crap that's years old! Is this all that's left?:-(~
I'm someone who bypassed the whole dotcom economic blowout way before it happened. I quit my $85k a year job and moved to Malaysia. Now I'm working again, for what amounts to minimum wage in USD, but actually quite great pay based on the cost of living (except for cars, which cost as much as houses here).
One of the positive things that may happen with outsourcing, is that there will be new and CHEAPER tools for developers. When "third world" developers have to use "first world" tools, they usually pirate it. In Malaysia though the SBA's been cracking down hard. End result, my developers spent a few weeks designing flow-charts in MSPAINT because there was no budget for Office yet.
So my point is, local companies will sprout to support local developers in 3rd world countries. But the savings will be passed on to 1st world countries, creating competition, and driving software prices down. Because when you have such a huge knowledge transfer, it's only a matter of time before the "outsourced" become competitors. And just like companies are willing to screw employees for the bottom dollar, the consumers will be that much more cruel when they buy the foreign software, developed completely by former "outsourcers".

Ah yeah, you got me. No State tax. The feds still need to pay for their gmc suv's. But the fact that they DO NOT share information with the IRS (at least not willingly) makes it a good place to form a company. Delaware. btw is one of WORST places to inc., I suggest everyone speak with a good financial attorney before inc'ing. Or, check out NoLo's LLC maker, incorporation dirt for every state. Nevada's the best.:-)

Maybe you'll be able to create a new strain once this Nuclear Waste Dump Site gets built. :-)
Looks like they should have gone with a Nevada LLC. No Federal disclosures needed, and no Fed tax. Hah!
