Thank you. Irrespective of how many lawyers we get to put in a good contract, we find Infosys one step ahead.
They ALWAYS seem to find a way to screw us.
I guess, its the price you pay for hiring them.
Only in Software do you pay a Consultant to screw you.
Fragile, inconsistent state of Politicians who seek to reinstate God as Creator and consider any Science as heresy is the REAL cause of lack of space exploration.
Someone should pull a Valerie Plame on every fundamentalist politician who seeks to replace Science with Religion.
His sex tapes should be published on the internet and would be better if it were Gay.
As someone who hires Infosys as a vendor, i can say this with confidence:
1) Infosys Consultancy is a Brilliant organisation who can actually bring value to a client.
2) Infosys Delivery is a piece of shit that is like the useless two frontlegs of a T-Rex.
Attention to detail? Infosys is paid to follow the rules of the company that hires it: not its own inane rules. Infosys tries to bill us for doing their work. Their approach has been : "When the weight of the paperwork equals that of the plane, it will fly". Worst of all, most paperwork is Infosys-own crap- and they try to bill us for producing their compliant stuff.
3) Schedule: slippage is common, even when Infosys tags a 40% buffer.
4) Unless you have a clear, contracted say in what resources they give you, timelines, etc., they will take you for a ride:
Their consultancy wing will dazzle you and make you sign a fixed-bid blackbox contract.
Then, their delivery wing will come in and negate everything that the consultancy told you.
They will stuff their project with 90% freshers from the market.
5) Once i asked Infosys to give me an experienced Business Analyst to handle a business workshop with me. The person landed next day from India. He was a mainframe developer who was the only one available. When asked, the Infosys manager cooly said: "You said you needed an experienced BA. Well, he is experienced in mainframe and he is now a BA. Poof! "
I was stunned.
Infosys hires the top 99% percentile from the market and acts as such.
Each developer, each project manager and each delivery manager is a prima-donna and has a "without us you would be dead" attitude.
They get paid to manage their paymasters. Weird, isn't it?
Nahhh.
Its Students who are the problem.
They don't come to school with a zeal to learn. They come to kiss, fight, blame, and all other things, except learn.
I HATE MATHS.
Why?
Because my friggin, match teacher kept hitting me with a cane each time i made a mistake.
I developed a healthy dislike of the teacher and the subject he taught, and after 30 years, i still don't understand maths.
And, am in Computers as a software architect !
Go figure.
Kodak was actually more strategic and forward thinking than most American companies.
It is easy to fault Chrysler, GM and American Steel, since their CEOs were interested only in next quarter. But not Kodak.
As you rightly said, they entered Digital photography and could have been the leader if they had leveraged their huge distribution network.
To add to that, they allowed digital cameras to become a commodity, like kerosene and calculators and PC's.
Once something becomes a commodity instead of a product, the costliest manufacturer gets clobbered.
That is why Apple products are NEVER a commodity. They are special products.
Kodak was right in everything, putting all its eggs in one basket, but somehow they failed to make the leap that Canon or Olympus did.
Hell, Olympus or even Nikon is more respected than Kodak for its digital cameras.
You can't pinpoint Kodak's failure on bad management, bad products or bad quality ( i still buy Kodak films for my camera), or even bad strategy.
They did not fail due to internal reasons. They failed because they fought on the enemy's territory instead of under their own skies under their radar cover.
Actually, Joe McCarthy was accurate in many aspects.
That is why reports ABOUT him from FBI are blocked and many of his papers are either too restricted or have disappeared.
Try fetching information about him under FOIA. See how much you can get.
The US actually was the one who violated EU copyrights a LOT of times to get to where it is currently.
As to your question about whether the rest of the world creates anything worthwhile? The answer is no. We all are waiting for the manna to drop from US, and think the US are God or more than God while the rest of us are are still neanderthal hunter-gatherers.
You assume that Copyright laws existed for a million years.
Copyright law was created and enforced initially in the 17th century to allow artists to retain the right to copy their own plays/articles/papers/books.
And it was valid for their lifetime. After their death, anyone was free to take it.
That made two things possible: ensuring that the creators of original things were constantly innovating and ensuring they keep adapting. Second it ensured that when the copyright holder died, his fame did not die. Of course his money stream went missing, but he was famous.
FFW today, companies don't die. So copyrights are perpetual.
And actually the Chinese are the world's 3rd largest movie industry after India and US, producing upward of 500 movies a year. Their internal audience is much larger than the US and EU combined, so they really don't need to dub and export.
The same lack of copyright enforcement and piracy has made the chinese innovate in the music scene. They know that live performances draw a larger amount and hence have endured piracy of their songs in return for a MUCH larger share in the live performances. Source? BBC.
And this also gives two things: Prevents stagnation which allows auto-tuned songs of Britney spears to be resold as new ones. Zero innovation after Beatles. Secondly it enables the artist to receive the lion's share of the money rather than a music tycoon who earns 98% of the artists income through innovative contracts.
Yeah it seems they received it.
There was an article in astronomics about the neutrinos slowing down, but still received faster than the speed of 1987 supernova light reached us.
Agreed to indemnify if Universal lost the case.
In this scenario, Universal refused to accept responsibility. Hence they can't get their money from insurer.
Or they could accept liability and responsibility, and open themselves for more lawsuits.
Well, you see, cutting funds to the military-industrial complex gets JFK and RFK killed.
Can anyone of you in education, R&D or NASA claim such a proud thing?

Which is the business of law making should not be left to government. We end up having laws that are detrimental to people.
Anyone the Republicans hate must be a good guy.
Nothing grabs a politician's attention like a donation. Attach a note to that PayPal email and state your request.

That explains a LOT of things for me. I guess there is a special place in hell for Consultants.
Where the fuck is Steve Jobs? Guess counting iTrojans in iHeaven. Stupid moron.

The British Empire fell because most of the entreprenurial souls were sucked into running the empire instead of doing business.

The Air Force pays for the research. The Air Force owns the output of the research. The Air Force suppresses report stating national security.

You are naive and green at the Gills. The labels don't fight fair, silly. And they certainly are not just interested in people enjoying their music.
Well, you see, cutting funds to the military-industrial complex gets JFK and RFK killed. Can anyone of you in education, R&D or NASA claim such a proud thing?
...and duck under your tables.
Nice try. Since 1950s it has been in in use.
