Talking about efficiency: Does anyone know what is the actual efficiency we can expect from monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar cells? The 22% that is being claimed is possible only under standard test conditions. Another problem is the performance under diffused radiation. In countries like Singapore even though there is lot of solar radiation, 70% of the radiation is diffused (reflected by clouds, ground, etc). Does PV cells provide the same efficiency under diffused radiation? Any information on this is appreciated. The real efficiency is crucial for evaluating the costs because if the panels are not producing at peak efficiency most of the time the payback period will be much longer.
This only demonstrates that the outsourcing company should be selected after careful evaluation. Simply selecting a company that is "cheap enough" is bad management. There are hundreds of companies out there with exceptionally skilled developers and proven records of customer satisfaction. Search on google for "outsourcing best practices". You will find enough material to get started. All the best in the future.
Yes there are sore losers. A government minister in the southern state of Tamil nadu has complained that votes were stolen by a remove control. See this story

It was not by accident that Indira's husband name happened to be Gandhi. Nehru would not approve of Indira's marriage with Feroze because he was parsi and his parents were Muslim. Mahatma Gandhi adopted Feroze as his son to facilitate this marriage and Feroze became Feroze Gandhi. Indira Priyadarshini Nehru became Indira Gandhi after marriage to Feroze Gandhi.
The discrepancy in the wages of US and Indian programmers
is entirely a result of the current exchange rate between
the Indian Rupee and the US Dollar. When the earnings in
Indian Rupee are divided by 45, you get a ridiculously small
amount in US Dollars. Indian companies have been able to benefit
from the exchange rate. So the important question is why is the
exchange rate very high? India needs lot of foreign currency to
pay for its huge imports. As India starts exporting more (for
example, through software services) Dollar will be less in demand,
Rupee will strengthen and the disparity between the wages in the
US and India will reduce. In a free market economy, everything
is strongly interlinked. Market forces strike the right balance
after some fluctuations. Protectionism in isolated areas do not
work. When work permits are denied, companies move jobs overseas.
When legislations prevent movement of jobs overseas, companies
buy ready made solutions instead of custom-made solutions. When
import of ready-made products are banned the entire business might
be shifted offshore or might simply perish unable to compete with
other companies. There is no end to this.
The other option is to have an entirely protected economy. This
should work very well if human greed did not exist. A model that
we could try is Gandhi's concept of Gram swaraj. Each village is
self-sufficient. They grow their own food, make their own clothes,
and consume only what they themselves can produce. Everybody is
happy and satisfied. There is no competition between countries,
let alone competition between villages. Of course, the whole system
is made unstable by the greed of a single person. Gandhi said, the
world has enough resources to satisfy the need of everyone, but does
not have enough to satisfy the greed of a single one.
