Oh yeah who cares what US beleives, I stopped giving a damn after they questioned evolution.
PS: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS IMAGE SHIT. I CAN NOT READ THIS SHIT
A little education for you, India was made on the same grounds as US. Before British invasion India was multiple Kingdoms with their own language culture. British rule was able to bring all of these small states as one. This however changed nothing in the language people spoke. When we got our independence we started annexing these states. The last state annexed was in the 60's was GOA from Portugal.
Now for a interesting fact even though the Govt tries to push Hindi as the National language but South India refuses to speak that language. So we have a big country where if you cross a state border you land somewhere where even the street signs are unreadable because it is in a local language.
Now we have technically more than 22 languages but the process of making a Dialect into a language is retarded at best. For example Bhojpuri is a language that is spoken in Surinam, Maurititius and other carribean countries. When it comes to India Bhojpuri is a dialect.
To answer the retard who thought Indian spell wrongly get your facts right, TOEFL and GRE English India scores the highest every time. Besides British English is not always thought as gramatically correct in US.
You are wrong, FYI the preferred country for Indian students has been shifting lately to Australia, Canada and Germany. And yes these countries have equilvalent and sometimes better immigration options that US.
I hate this sh**t, someone else controlling every aspect of your life. This whole copyright thing and getting sued for listening to a song. I plan to stop my high speed internet the day adelphia bill says comcast with a letter attached to the cancellation saying that my info is not on sale.
I used to work for a Parking Garage in a University. They had an Access database with the name and Soc of all the Employees as well as students in it. Best of all the computer was connected directly to internet with a static IP address. Now go and figure out what the hell the purpose of this was. The people managing the operations were high school pass. And they used to joke all the time "Oh yeah someone in Germany is uploading movies on the computer" Yeah just delete those movies and we should be OK. Beurocracy is so rampant that things like security dont matter .
I guess that tells a lot about how biassed you are. No offence here but isn't Western countries responsible for all the ills. Apartheid, Nazi, Slavery, you name it. And besides I am based in Western country and looking outside my Windows all I see is snow. Also I went to do grocery and found none of the products "Made in Western Country". I don't know why you think you are so smart, going by the way things are going Indians will have the last laugh.
Yet Western countries spare no effort to go about converting Indian hindus to christianity.
And what are they thmselves doing with it well for starters molesting kids in churches. Besides we are capable of growing VEGETABLE so we eat that. Which crop are you growing on Snow by the way, we dont need to eat cows to survive but you do.
Wait a second, this is 101% wrong. India does spend money on poor. But as you know for spending money you need to generate it first. And no indian satellite program is used for "educational" purposes unlike western countries. Now coming to Western countries, well in the name of free trade agreement all the western countries have done is to ensure that the latest technologies are so costly that developing countries are forced not to use it. The whole Drug patent thing that India had to subscribe to made our generic drugs costlier than what a person would earn in a whole months of work. In terms of technology transfers it is pathetic even mundane things like a microwave oven is a thing of luxury for many Indians. Talk about environment we have all the players like Mercedes, Chevvy, Hyundai, Toyota none of the companies give clean cars to India. If they do its cost is equal to 20 years of a common mans salary. Moral of the story If the western counrtries dont help us we help ourselves.
1. If I had to choose between a FREE product and a product that I have to pay. What do you think I will do. Grab the free copy.
2. If I choose an OS that is Closed source and software developed for it is Closed source. I am constantly in a fear of breaking a patent/copyright with weird licenses.
I will certainly go for an OSS .
The Software companies are themselves to blame for Piracy. I know from a couple of MS OEM retailers in India, their approach was to 1. Let the Pirated copies of Windows be installed by a user. Let him be used to the it till the time he can not make a switch back to an alternative. 2. Go and ask for a ridiculus licensing fee, threatening to take action if not complied.
I worked for a steel company and fortunately our Net Admin was a smart ass. When MS came asking for a huge licensing fee, he bought 300 licenses of MS Office for the (Computer Dumb) execs. And he made rest of us learn Star Office 5. When MS Vendor came to know of this they came up with niceties like bulk discount and free training.
The whole point here I am trying to make is Software industry is not so honest as the RIAA or MPAA to stop the trade of their products.
What never made sense to me on my my multiple flights was how rediculus the Safety system aboard many flights we have. Conventional wisdom says if you are flying in air you need something for survival when god-forbid something happens to you that works i air and not water. However it is just the opposite , even if you fly from two airports with no water body in between, the first thing you hear is how to use a lifejacket. C'mon now by the time someone would crash, he wont be alive to float and bolw the darned whistle for help. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a parachute/ combination of parachute and lifejacket with each passenger. This would at least give a passenger some protection when they are heading down.
Count me in after unmpteen attempts I gave up. I returned the " Extreme DVD" back to the store , and yes I live in USA. This was at most a sick attempt from microsoft to limit piracy. My compputer wanted to install interactual player again and again. I'm glad DivX is coming with the HD Avi movies. If I ever buy a DRM protected media it would certainly not be from Microsoft.
What did microsoft think I will call them and debug the thing over the phone. They must be out of their mind. I just wanted to see how HD movie is different.
Bitorrent is a good method for downloading files. So was Kazaa, the main drawback I find with MPAA is its reluctance to accept new technlogy. I mean file sharing is just a method of transport, if DRM and other technology is used with the files we could have another service which would be a source of revenue for the movie industry.
I am a Masters student in Electrical Engineering in America and in my 2 years 75% and up students in all my classes were Indians/Chinese. I also hear complaints from many./'ers that Indians are taking their job away. Well at least you cant complain in Electrical Engineering that Foreigners are taking the job away.
Darn if you want the job come and study Engineering like I did.
Another facet is you don't study what you like always. I'd love to study Music if that could get me job. On the same note if I study music and dont get a job I wont blame an Indian on not getting a job.
I work as a grad assistant and part of my chore was to clean up the adware downloaded by my co-workers. The only solution I could come up was to link the "e" icon to firefox and lo and behold my job became so easy. I had a CIS person visit our department once and while fixing entirely another problem relating to Printers, this dude said that it was mozilla that was causing problem. I tried to haggle with this guy for some time that he was wrong. Nochallantly I asked him what his degree was, he had a nursing degree. I said this answer my question. I tried sending the advantages of Mozilla over IE but till now Temple is stuck to IE.
the original (wonderful) Google Groups anymore.
Are you kidding the original design is gross if I may use a word to describe it.

India is a big country to be precise, more than 1 billion people. And US outsourcing in not even feeding 1% of the Indian population. And going by wour last name wo1verine it seems you/your grandfathers were immigrants in this country. Now staying in USA is a privilege that you get it you are smart, however if you want to sit on your ass and complain about Any and Everything to INDIA get a life. If Indian people are smart and hard working and not AGAINST USA like other countries in the region is that bad.
If you are sick go see a doctor and not puke whenever and wherever you get the opportunity.
