This depends on what percentage of shared libraries your main applications link to.
For example, I have a significant number of applications linked to the OpenSSL libraries. If these were all installed Apple style, I would have to upgrade them all individually (since OpenSSL is not in the base OS image, and should not be). With dynamic linking, I just upgrade on library.
And since I have most of these applications constantly in use, I get considerable savings in memory too.
And when a bug turns out in a library that the application is statically linked to, you need to reinstall/upgrade every application using that library. You are looking only at one end of the spectrum, how do you make it scale up across a few hundred applications?
Some people are happy running very few tools, others just need more tools.
Clamav is reliable. Very reliable. I haven't had false positives, or infections from a clam failure for three years in half a dozen corporates I support.
The caste system comes from the Manusmruti. Originally, the caste hierarchy was decided by the work that people did, and not by their birth.
However, as is the case with all classifications and power groups, the caste system became rigid and depended on the caste of the parents.
You can see this happening in the religious texts (Saint Parshuram destroyed the entire warrior caste on earth 21 times according to the Ramayana, and he stayed a Brahmin because he was a scholar. FWIW, Parshu means axe).
The basic classification:
Brahmin -- people who indulge in scholarly activities, and work with pure knowledge stuff.
Kshatriya -- people who indulge in acts of force, and whose duty was to defend society against invaders and crime.
Yeouch! 2.29 INR for a loaf of bread is expensive. It costs about half that in most places.
Again, depending on what you want and the locality, your rent can vary from 2000 INR to about 1000,000 INR per month in Mumbai (You can comfortably live in Mumbai on 10000 INR/mth, particularly if you use public transport. And Mumbai's public transport is excellent).
New Delhi is a bit more expensive to live in, as is Bangalore.
An IT worker needs a computer (or a bunch of them), and Internet connectivity. Both of which are available.
The IT industry does not need all that much capital investment per worker in terms of end user devices. The costs are all in connecting to the backbone, and that isn't too bad.
Open a subsidary development office in India. The average salary of a good Indian programmer is about 1000 USD/mth. 1000 USD for 160 hours/month is 6.25 USD/hr. All the rest of that money is being spent in marketing and profits of the contractors.
That is what most of the big companies are doing anyway.
Also, keep in ming that you are comparing middling programmers from India with low end US programmers. Try an apples to apples comparison instead.
Think of a very large market (a few million pieces in two countries alone), which needs cheap connectivity, and the ability to send documents and email.
Your needs are different from the target market envisoned for these devices.
Truth is that most of us trained full-time IT professionals don't completely know how to keep our systems clean, so you can't expect a user to do so.
Well, some of us do, and we try to help out as many people as we can. It isn't hard. But if you want to run a system as complex and powerful as a computer, you have to be willing to take proportionate responsibility.
Depending on who will use it. The largest zombie farms are also the largest ISPs, and the only thing that gets their attention is a massive block of all email from them by other large ISPs (including corporate email).
The CBL (included in the sblpxbl.spamhaus.org list) lists a lot of viruses/zombies, but it is designed to be corporate safe and not hurt the ISPs themselves.
I need that information in the SMTP envelope, not the body. Easy, isn't it? Let me know how to block your challenge envelopes without causing false positives, and I will be glad to add a check for that.
Yeah, but we are big enough that we need to worry about stupid ISPs like Earthlink who run C/R. And we have a lot of inbound spam, so dealing with stuff that can be cleaned out first with major impact is better. C/R is fairly low volume compared to that.
Open source is not Linux. Firefox runs on Windows. so does OpenOffice. So does thunderbird. A few changes in the default setup can render a PC a lot more secure, and better customers.
I think I shall upgrade official corporate policy to block domains which send C/R crap. I can very well do without the crap that comes into my unfilterable mailbox adding to my workload.

Depending on what you are using a Mac for. Most people I hear from appear to use the Mac as a Unix which also runs Microsoft Office.
Everything else is pretty much ignored, And of course, you are still missing out on understanding how complex Unix applications can get.
The most obvious place to hide something is often in full sight. You rarely look at what is on the table directly in front of you. Human psychology.

Oh, there are plenty of Indians who are really good at speaking English. They just don't work in your average call centre.
India is importing call centre employees for European languages. These are not technical skills.
The salaries are lower than in Europe, but include accomodation (with servants) and transport.
Or some of us work in enterprise environments where ActiveX is frowned upon for its insecurity. Your use of ActiveX costs us money.
ActiveX should never, ever be supported in any application exposed to hostile, untreated data.
which includes browsers and email clients.

Yes we do. Creativity isn't only in the graphics world, you know?
