In some circles, you are not successful if you are not, or don't have a son, in one of these professions.
Those circles are usually backward in education and money.Those circles are not the IT circle we r talking about...Dont you see many indian chicks out there to do programming ?? India is fastly changing..Accept it!!
.I don't want to see a 5 minute spalsh animation on my cell phone any more than I want a hole in my head..
Remember , Jus becuz flash is going to show up on your cell phone , doesnt mean it wuld not allow you to skip flash animation.The only thing that needs to be worried is its response time. Hopefully there is a compromise.Luckily , this would reduce the price of existing cell phones without flash,if flash based cell phones hit the market at compettitive prices.In that case i guess you will be happy.
I dont know how to answer if people are genetically fat. I still believe they could change their destiny and probably should. When i was fat , i used to complain to work my butt up. I get quickly tired and not interested in helping others . All i could do is glue my butt somewhere all the day.No friends , no happiness. If you are fat , you are being wrong.Cuz u kill your life , you waste good moments that you could possibly enjoy.

" personally i hate calling Compaq and taking to someone in India. I am not trying to be rude but I can't understand them, and it bothers me."
Everything has a learning and adaptation curve and so its natural for anyone to not understand foreign accent at the first go!! Wait and see , after an year or so, you would easily understand their english.. more like how Indian students in US understand American english accents.. isnt it?
I think you are going to see people in India, ect pushing for higher prices of pay in a few years, you can only pay them pennies for so long before they realize they can earn more, or until they start to become entrepreneurs themsevles, then what will you have on your hands?
Then they {jobs}will go to even more poorer places on the earth. also i do thing you will see American companies step out of outsourcing a bit, why? people again are getting annoyed with calling a call center and not talking to someone htey can understand. Customer service is king and people will be willing to pay more for.
People are so happy that there is atleast someone to pick up the call andlisten to their problems.Had it not been those indian guys working , you would have a long queue of calls and mostly end up getting frustrated abt the company.I agree that may not be the best solution but when you think of American economy , may be its the best way.
I dont understand first off , if this is something amazing discovery to be reported by slashdot.
When someone lies , common sense tells us that he has to think abt what other man has to think abt it.So its a double step work . However being truthful is just a single step of answering to the other person.
more steps , more work.
Agree?
" I have been using it for 5 years now and haven't found a better media player yet."
You must be exaggerating.I have seen real media player play much better either offline or online.
" It is both small and quick, Windows Media Player is neither. "
5 yrs before may be 128 or 256 is a luxury , now everyone uses 512 M or more and so winamp being small doesnt fit to be a strong reason. Not to mention that I have yet to find a sound file that I couldn't get it to play, where many of my files just refuse to play in iTunes or WM
how abt Mplayer , VLC Media player? Many files cannot be played by them which open easily in these..
besides winamp in Linux Sux!!!
Time to death for Winamp..Pray a better product comes out..
If you are someone living in India , Learn English for jobs.Cuz many Indians dont understand their national language Hindi due to huge regional dieeferences in culture and language.
They'd never admit flatly that they outsource to a shitty data center in a third world country. If they did, there'd be no problem since people would walk out the door without a second thought.
If you are trying to understand what 2000$ means in India is 50 * 2000 = 100000 = 1 Lakh Rupees = Indian programmer with less than 1 year experience salary for 6 months In the best company in India. { Bro is working for Infosys }. btw im assuming that you know software engineers are probably one of the richest of all the jobs.It is still luxury for them to spend 1 Lakh rupees for medical ailments.
why is this the most important election of our lifetime(s)?
My background: Im a foreigner to USA. and I write here the issues to worry if Bush is reelected
Becuz 4 years of cut of stem cell funding will put US backwards in technology race..Beware of China..Type in google "China the next super power" and see for yourself the research articles on that topic. People have already started to look for India for quality hospitals.
Becuz Probable another war in Iran to curb their nuclear proliferation and probably gain some oil..Oh yeah , its gonna be democratic too..
Becuz U never want retaliation like 9/11 from Iraqis and other affected nations..Lets jus remember 25% of Iraqi population are casualties of the war.Enough reason to trigger terrorism.I wouldnt be surprised if people are already in plans..Beware of unmonitored borders between America and canada.
Becuz if you wanna travel outside America, better be careful.Cuz whole world which liked you for your diligence and leadership now wont even shake hands with ya..
Becuz America is increasingly becoming zone to be attacked in the eyes of world.No Foreign support,Increased Isolation and other things which dont seem to matter much now , but will eventually be a major issue.
Becuz , Iraq war may be another Vietnam war
Well , if you think this issues would be buried down by the exihibition of American military muscle , Good luck America..

So , is India and China Third world now?
I live in US , but im not a citizen.Any foreigner if asked abt America , talks mostly about NY CA MA IL and sometimes Florida and Texas.
Why did democrats win the states that represent growth,technology,diversity
Why do Republicans win mostly in States that people know of them only in America like utah Nebraska Kansas Udaho Oaklahoma..
What is with these Americans?
