PhD just means you spent an incredible amount of time in a narrow pursuit.
A PhD can NEVER be a entrepreneur. He/She is too straightjacketed brainy fellow who knows the BEST solution to a specific problem.
A PhD in Computer Science may be a wing of CS (Encryption, Chip Design, etc) in which she is a king. Take them out of the area and put them... let's say work on configuring W2K for a proxy Server and they will fail miserably.
PhD do NOT have presence of mind and adaptability and would never fit into a take-risk venture.
If google wants to venture out of search business into other arenas, it needs to hire more jack-of-all trades guys and not PhDs.
BTW, i did not rant against PhD, George Soros words were the ones i quoted above.
Salaries in india have stagnated but still comfortable.
According to Parity Rates indians are paid $3500/- average per month in a city like Mumbai where living costs along take $2000 and taxman takes the rest. This lives you with nothing to spend on food and makes you depend on campus canteens in offices.
And there are other people managers, project managers and morons who make the equivalent of $6000/month and enjoy a lifestyle like cleopatra and driving slaves to work to death.
I had worked on a deathmarch project which involved working for 72 hrs at a stretch for 9 months without holidays (not even for Diwali which is like christmas here). My project manager was a wonderful guy who used to work from home. He used to call us from his home on sunday aft.noons to see whether we are working.
And he got a promotion to a VP after we finished the project.
And us: we got ourselves new jobs.
He: has changed jobs now and works day-night shifts for his boss.
Sweet Revenge.
I think the Powers are very interested in knowing what we do privately.
Why are they so intent on learning that i detoured to meet my poor girlfriend on the way home so that she could have "support" for her bad back?
Why are they so intent on exposing my poor private life.. as iam living with only one wife and two girlfriends.
WHY, WHY, WHY?
Maybe they are in cahoots with the Roman Catholic Church so that they can report to it about my flouting Commandments. So that they can crucify me...? or maybe Dubya Prez wants the info to blackmail me to vote for him...?
WHY?
And who grew Hussein? Who supported him when he murdered thousands of his own countrymen in 1980s and thousands more in iran war?
Your statement that you can do everything on Linux that you can do on Windows & Office can itself is a proof that Windows is necessary.
Iam not supporting WIndows & MSFT, but they set standards that others including Linux follow.
Why else would Linux want to "emulate" windows desktop (and fail...)
Let's face it: Without Windows the World would be adrker place.
In theory what you say will be right.
Like socialism.
In reality each company will strive to become a monopoly publishing its own standards and divide the industry in to a thousand fragments. DO you remember the days of Wordstar, DR-DOS, Wordperfect, Lotus, etc?
You can't open one file in another because they were closed specs.
Humans and especially companies are not so enlightened as to work for the benefit of consumers. They exist to create wealth, and the best way to create wealth need not be in consumer's interest.
That is why you still can't open a Mac executable in Windows or vice-versa.
If Mac and Linux were so "open" and consumer-friendly, they would have long allowed competitors access to their propreitary stuff...
And you americans are morons thinking all indians wear turbans.
Read your history & geography lessons properly instead of just reading the Dumb Washpost or nytimes.
The Patriot Act is Big Brother in the hands of Dubya.
China may not be better off in its Human Rights, but by implementing this Act, Dubya Prez has shown he is as repressive like China.
Which do you think is better? China oppression or Dubya oppression?
These govts. are known for their thight-handedness and disregard for world law.
Once the OS is ready they will ditch GPL and use the OS as they fit.
Will SCO sue them?
Will Linus Torvalds travel to Beijin to "implement" GPL and "force" them to comply? I seriously doubt it. He "may" have an unfortunate "accident" which leaves him brain-dead.
Darl McBride would be declared "enemy of state" and incarcerated and spiked in a Bamboo shoot -:))
I for one think it is dangerous
Seriously i think it is good linux to look like Windows XP.
XP is the most used interface in the world and if any OS looks like it, that OS is going give XP a run for its money.
I do hope Redhat and Novell standardize on this stuff.

Firefox really rocks. Works well and does not install this crap. I run SpyBot since it is more thorough

Deep down everyone is a ferengi.
The industry needs a good dictator to keep peace, snuff out resistance, and generally keep order in an otherwise disorderly arena.
Yes, Microsoft is Bad like saddam hussein, but are we willing to replace him with a viable alternative?
We will end up bleeding like we do today.
Microsoft is a necessary evil. Period
They will move a couple of fingers to run WIndows and complain about it.
This world doesn't need Windows.
Shit, that was meant to read as "Beowulf" clusters... Damn the keyboard
Imagine a Beowuld clusters of those.... WAIT !!!
Sorry.
