Dear Sir,
as an employee of the Patent Office of the United States of America, I regret to inform you that we cannot award you your patent, as we outsourced our patenting software/database/processes to India.
There are LOT of people living in India. A LOT. Somehow Americans seem to miss this point. It is for that reason, that some jobs will always involve labour. You will NEVER find a self-service gas station. Each gas station will have 5/6 attendants. You will ALWAYS find a security guard posted outside an ATM (this is not just because it may be unsafe, it's actually AFFORDABLE to do this). And a LOT people have servants/maids other domestic help in their homes. Not because they are rich/feudal, but because of simple demand and supply. There is such a huge supply of low-skilled labour, that it comes very cheap.
Regarding your sig, here's a little know fact for y'all Americans:
Al Qaeda declared India the #2 enemy, right after USA. According to them, the only thing worse than a bunch of decadent, freedom-loving white people, are a bunch of decadent freedom-loving brown people. The one country which is GRATEFUL to America for busting ass in Afghanistan and making Pakistan a 'vassal' state is India. (But then again, all of your software base are belong us so....).
Yea, and a lot of people do. Guess what. There are a LOT of people in India. One billion of them at last count. 35% of these people are rich or middle class, and 75% of the country is literate. That means that 750 MILLION people know how to read and write, and 350 Million people have a decent income. That means 350 Million people have access to "good plumbing" and televisions and computer and mobile phones and all the good stuff. At last count, the TOTAL population of America was 275 Million. You do the math buddy, and do it quick before it gets outsourced.
The reason it's flamebait, is because the people manning the call centres in India don't have thick accents, this is just a load of community bull (much like M$ Sux, and Linux Rulz). Fact of the matter is, that most Indians, LIKE ME, who work in an IT-related, speak pretty fucking good English. Second, unlike most Americans, we've actually travelled between places, so we can hanlde the gap, and we know who we're dealing with. This enables us to get business. But most of you guys don't have a clue about Indians or how they work, 'cept for the crap you're fed on TV. This is why you're losing your jobs. You nothing about your enemy, and can't be bothered to learn.
Ummm no, you don't. IBM bought out Daksh because it wanted to get into the outsourcing thing without having to start from scratch. If anything, they will be hiring more people in India, but without the hassles of adding a new HR dept. to handle those new hires, now that they have Daksh. I should know, my office is about a 5 minute walk from Daksh. (Yes, I am one of "THEM"). Will gladly submit digicam pictures of thse so-called "sweatshops". They are anything but, and that's where the problem lies. You have happy workers for 25% of the previous cost. If anyone should be afraid it should be Amazon....IBM is now handling Amazon's Customer Service...which has been very good till now, mind you. and they outsourced their CS ops to Daksh way back in 2000
granted the only thing that might be bad would be software companys holding back on new version releases
I personally don't see a big deal in software cos holding back their releases. I mean one of the reasons (I'll leave the other reasons for the trolls) that M$ software is buggy is because they're under pressure to release to market quickly(Pls trolls, I said this is _one_ of the reasons). And on top that, they wouldn't be able to convince you to switch to BluScreen 12.9a so easily, since there'd be a limit on the versions released....
On the other hand...maybe operating systems should be free and open source...now when will somebody come up with that....
Oh yea, I heard about them Africans. Here, take my credit card number too:
7756 2332 9811 6707
Name: Analforn I. Cator
Expiry: 05/05
Bank: Bank of Suckmy Kok, Thailand
P.S. I haven't been able to find any books on Common Sense. In my last job interview, I told the guy had no common sense, so he should put in a managerial role, but he didn't agree for some reason, and said something about being overqualified. Sigh....
Just more proof that terrorists are stupid in the head
It's symbolism dude. Busting hidden computers (even though these may hold every micron of your life's detail) doesn't make for much news copy. Blowing up the two tallest buildings in a prominent skyline on the other hand.....
Out of curiousity, and because my karma sux, would anybody like to discuss why 'Nix users don't like Apple? Of course, guess it's a generalisation, but ever 'nix user I come across never suggests Apple as an alternative. But isn't Apple also pretty secure? Plus Mac OS X's kernel.....
In Soviet Russia, the System-that-looks-for-changes-and-reports-them has YOU!
On a more serious note, forget heuristics for Anti-Virus, wouldn't a firewall be a better solution for today's types of virus? One which works both ways (i.e. ZoneAlarm...not that I'm trying to say that ZoneAlarm is the end all-be all of security software)
u know, it asks you for permission before allowing incoming and outgoing connections to the Net....it sure gives those XP users a sense of security, false or not. The age-old solution of (good)Virus-Scanner plus (good)Firewall should take care of most people....
Dude, you think anything mentioned in India is ever going to get any credit? The rest of the world thinks that the Arabs invented Chess, and same goes for the decimal number system. No point explaining some things come from India, nobody will believe us.
Ummm, guys, does anybody have this Bah Abba's telephone number? He gipped me! He's been misusing my credit number man. My card is maxed. I have no money. I'm broke. But I guess Dubya will save me in the end.
Hey man, I can help you out with that. My credit number is 7789 6776 1221 5660 0007, my name is Analforn I. Cator, and my card's expiry is 04/07.
My soc. sec. number is 195-88-3511
When do I get my DOUGH. I'm FUCKING RICH, YEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Why the frig is this post even there. There is also this invention known as Clay. Used by people in India and Africa to make pots, which hold water. This thing called Clay is POROUS. So what happens is that when you put water in the pot, the hot, less dense water evaporates, leaving COOL water in the pot. This has been done for the past 5000 years. I can't fucking believe this actually gets a mention on Slashdot. So since I'm now officially a troll with awful Karma simply because the Mods are biased, I guess this'll be my last post on SlashShit. So goodbye, and STFU
I second that! When will u guys learn that GSM is the way to go, simply bcoz it's a frikkin' open standard. If person A buys a mobile phone in India, he can use that mobile phone in Europe too, with very little hassle. However, if that phone ain't "Tri-Band" then forget about using it in USA. Heck even if it is tri-band, the idea of prepaid cards is still the distant future in America. C'mon guys, drop the ego, and get with it! CDMA ain't all it's cracked up to be.
We are the Pimps Whores Association of America. If we find anybody doing it for free, we'll sue their asses, and we'll start with colleges. SAY NO TO SLUTS. It's unfair to the artists...er.. I mean whores..Peer-to-peer fucking is wrong. Purchase your sex from the original sellers. Stop violating copyrights.
Oh shave off your little-bitty moustache, and stop whining about the fact that the jews own everything. Next time, try learning to read before complaining that somebody took your job. Oh, and trust me, that White mask fashion went out in the '60s. SDSTFU

You can rub my stick vigourously...we can make some history that way too....

Quick, get to the nearest beach! There's still hope for us Siberians and Americans! Yeehaw, one more patent and I'll be RICH.
