You are making assumptions. First anyone can educate themselves, get certified and do your job.
Second, they do have good universities in India.
Third India has a billion people, there are just as many geniuses in India as there are in the USA? No there are more due to the fact that theres greater numbers of Indians. To assume you have the benefit of being upper class which allows you to be lazy is a big mistake. Just because you from birth may have more money and better schools does not mean someone cannot out work you and reach the same point. We have kids finishing college at 14-15 years old who are minorities and in the USA. Competition is going to be fierce and thats good.
Maybe if kids growing up in poor families in ghettos accross America could work a real job they wouldnt sell drugs! Perhaps if we did have child labor. more businesses could start in poor communities, think!
Why are crime rates so high in the USA, yet not so high in places like China where people are even more poor? The reason is in China at least the poor have something to do instead of just sit on the street corners.
Don't you notice, its only white America that complains about this? Mexican-Americans are just happy to work. Black Americans will work anywhere and for cheaper than the average white American. Chinese Americans will do your job and work longer hours, work harder, and do it for less. All in this same country. Even women work harder and for less money than the lazy white male.
Think of it this way, if you want to keep your job without having everyone else "Taking all the jobs" then you fight for it by working harder and getting a better education. Why should you get any hand outs when no one else does? Everyone else works harder and for less money!
What if in the US companies stopped hiring over priced white Americans and started to target minorities for jobs such as programmers? This has happened many times in the past and these same jerks who come out of the wood works when minorities are taking all the jobs are the ones who come out now saying outsourcing is ruining our economy and Indians are taking all the jobs.
Can't you see whats common in both these situations? Minority/Sub-Human/Outsider is taking the jobs from white America.
They are closet racists. What you say does make sense and it is moral to support outsourcing. It's also a lie to say that we don't benefit. Buy stock in companies and you'll benefit when that company outsources.
Outsourcing could save our social security and retirement systems because with a more stable stock market its better for our retirements.
Businesses which survive longer are more competitve. Businesses which grow create more jobs. Competitive businesses which survive grow and create more jobs.
Market growth = Job Growth. Can't you connect the dots? George Bush explained it perfectly in his speech.
I don't see you supporting any minority owned businesses in the USA. Many US companies get completely ignored because white America won't invest in their company, buy their stock, or eat or purchase their products.
The US economy is racially divided and I don't see any of you people complaining about how whites have an unfair advantage over minority run businesses in the USA. So why complain when minority run businesses outside of the USA have advantages? Don't you think its about freakin time?
Americans are racist bastards. It's really that simple. What? You think this can be a white dominated world forever where all the jobs stay in America and get handed down to you from generation to generation? You are as bad as lazy minorities in the USA who want affirmative action because they are too lazy to compete fairly.
Don't you get it? Nothing is given to you in this world, or at least nothing is owed to you. The government does not owe you shit. Your company does not owe you shit. I do not owe you shit.
I should not have to pay higher taxes because your lazy ass cant find a job and wont finish school. For hundreds of years white males have had an unfair advantage in the workplace and now a few indias and chinese finally get to compete on a level playing field and you cry foul like its the end of the world!
What do you think all the other people of the world have been living like for the past few hundred years? You people remind me of the germans who blame everything on the jews, or the blacks who blame everything on the white man, or the silly hippie who blames everything on the man.
Become more educated(more fit) and you survive. Stupid people can die. I'm tired of paying taxes to support poor lazy ignorant bastards who drop out of school.
Just let them die already and lets speed up natural selection instead of fighting it.
So unless you plan to give up your car and a lot of other nice things, Capitalism is here to stay.Just like Gas won't be replaced anytime soon.
Face it, people don't give a damn about morals. We only give a damn about ourselves and our families. Let the poor people in those other countries die. Let the poor in this country die. We need to get rid of taxes and stop letting the poor leech off of us.
Large economy does not mean good economy.
Having a lot of low paying jobs does not mean you have a lot of high paying tech jobs.
Most people in Texas are somewhat poor and this is a fact you cannot dispute. Cali on the other hand, the res plenty of rich people there.
What's your point? We make more money in the USA than they make in India.
So what exactly are you saying? The amount of people has nothing to do with it, its the percentage of educated people which decides the population's employability.
you can see the graduation rate for Texas on the list.
Basic cause and effect, if Texas can attract an educated population (usually this population has enough money to pay taxes), this brings jobs and the cost of living goes up.
You can't win, you bring snobby Harvard or Yale grads to your state and they'll raise your taxes and rent because they can afford the high cost of living and you cant.
Thats exactly what happens in New York, Boston, Cali, the elite basically take over and can afford the high taxes. Your option then becomes, be an elite or leave.
What I'm saying is, it works like a pyramid, the jobs don't go to where the cheapest cost of living is, the jobs go to the highest educated cheapest labor. Paying someone to work in Texas in the USA is going to cost almost exactly as much as to pay them to work in Silicon valley, it might be slightly less but unless you take a massive pay cut its not going to work. The only industry I know thats in Texas is the video game industry. Overall Texas while it could become an economic force, if it does become the economic force it will cease being Texas and will become another California, Massachusettes, New York, etc. Is this what you want?
Cost of living isnt everything. The cost of living is high where I live, so I live with roomates and suddenly my rent is the same as yours.
The only difference here is when raising children cost of living might begin to matter, but like I said Texas is not known for having good schools, or for being a place to raise doctors and lawyers.
I'd choose Boston or even New York if I were trying to put my kid in the best schools or live in the best possible environment. Texas is cheap, so is Utah, Idaho, and many other places. The problem with cheap places, they usually don't have a very good learning environment.
U.T. Austin may be a good school, how about your highschool system? What percentage of kids actually graduate with a diploma? What percentage of Texas is college educated?
While Texas has no taxes, no taxes also means no education for the kids in public school.
Now, if Phoenix is the cheapest place to live don't you think that more people are going to flood phoenix?
I mean if cheap cost of living is everything, why not go further down to Mexico where its even cheaper?
Arizona would be a good place to put an industry. The problem with Arizona is its right next to California, so why go to Arizona for a job when all the jobs are right next to it in Cali?
It's going to be tough for people who arent on the coast. When you are on the coast usually its easier to bring jobs than if you live right in the center.
If we are talking about cost of living being the determining factor like the poster of the article says, well then India is the best place along with China.
In the USA Texas would not be the best place because theres places with an even lower cost of living and plenty of open space.
The best state for tech is the state with the best economy, most educated population and the most money. That state happens to be Mass due to MIT, Harvard, Tufts, and the many other great schools here of course we'd have the advantage over Texas.
What great schools are there in Texas? Also places with lower costs of living usually also have a population which generally has less wealth which explains why they live in poor areas where the cost of living is low. If you run a business you want to be where the other businesses are. When businesses move to a place the cost of living eventually goes up and if Texas had become Silicon valley do you honestly think a bunch of poor people would be living there? The cost of living would skyrocket to the levels of Cali or Boston.
Dell could easily sell the computer with Dell Linux and everyone would buy it. Its the Dell name brand that people want, not the Microsoft Windows crap.
They trust Dell, and if Dell were to say that Linux is the next big thing, well it is. Without Dells support Windows XP would have never taken off! Windows 98 was far more compatible at the time and XP wouldnt run any dos based games or 16 bit software.
Why do people use XP now? Because OEMs shoved it down their throats. No one went to a store and purchased XP, XP sold because new computers just come with XP instead of 98/ME. Many people including myself removed XP and put Windows98 or 2000 on there.
Ok, first why should I switch from the current BIOS I have to this one, make the case. Saying the word Linux is not making the case and neither is saying Open source. Is it better technology? Second, ok say I want to do this, how do I go about doing it? That site needs better instructions, it needs to explain the technology better. Simply put, their website SUCKS.
It sounds like a good idea but how does it work in practice? How about pictures? Benchmarks, test results.
I have an Athlon64 based motherboard, I'd like to try this. So? How do I try it?
How about some instructions, can I flash my bios with this? or is this some type of special motherboard I'll have to buy because if I can't flash my current bios with this, this is a piece of crap I'm sorry.

Yes most of the public schools are terrible, which is why we have good charter and pilot schools. Also there are good private schools here.

This isn't for people who run servers. It's for Desktop users like me who don't want to buy Longhorn.
This is the kind of thing which has to be done, yet no one wanted to do it because it wasnt profitable.
Linux needs a facelift if its to be successful on the Desktop. Let's thank Sun for wasting their money becase now Linux can take on and beat Longhorn.
This is less of a waste of money than mono
It's just a name.
