You are counting the 10X factor twice, and multiplying them. This is wrong.
Look at it from the point of view of one country or the other, not both.
Let's say the guy arrives back to India and compares his lot with the European, who is about to leave. He has saved 10 times as much as the European. End of story.
That is where I got the "Here be dragons" part - that map was doing the email rounds 3/4 years ago.
I am surprised the middle east isn't on there. The middle east has moved into the xenophobes consciousness. The map should have "All these people did 9/11 and are hiding nukes up their asses".
And then maybe a little blue dot "Izzrail - Original population unlike the Ayrab invaders. Hiding nukes up their asses too, but the nice kind".
Pacific islanders objected to the label "Here be Dragons!".
Several Arab countries resented being called either "Oil" or "Just terrorists".
Several former Soviet Bloc and Warsaw Pact countries objected to the name of their countries being followed by "(or whatever they are calling themselves this week)."
Kinda gives a new meaning to '1337 hAx0r2'

"Patch it again Tony" just isn't the same, and the company is unlike to rename itself "PIAT". "Reboot it again Tony" might work though.
In any event the original joke depends massively on your mechanics name being Tony. A huge comedic train wreck occurs when people start interjecting "...but Tony is my uncle, and he works in insurance".
"I don't know about you, but I do not have any fear of being woken up in the middle of the night, thrown into a van, and being shipped off to some
Siberian gulag just because I surfed the wrong website last night."
I read an interview a few years ago with some senior MS exec. in the server OS division. I'm don't remember all the details or have a link.
He was asked about how the subject in question might affect the home OS line (e.g. Win 98/ME) . He responded "I don't deal with toy operating systems" or something similar (he definetly used the "toy" word). I thought that was hilarious, but it did not generate a fuss at the time.
... would be something like saying April 1st has been removed from the calendar to avoid the timewasting due to pranks. Or maybe pretending there has been a tradition of playing practical jokes on this date. We've all been taken in by that one...
And if you look at the left of the chart, the Celts come first. Which just confirms that the Irish are the best source for English pronunciation. For example, unlike the English, we use things called "consonants" such as "H" (you may know this as "aitch").

You are obviously not a spellciator.
Check out the photo of the guy at the booth of memorabilia (the last picture).
It's a plant I tell ya, a conspiracy by the man to ridicule Star Trek fans!
In reality they are all fit, outgoing, mountain bike types of guys.

No, more like "C/\mp1ng 8a5tard!"
"Remind anyone of that scene in the movie 'Wild Wild West' where they extract the last thing the dead guy saw?"
Allow me to rephrase that. Anyone prepared to admit to having watched 'Wild Wild West'?
>"Fix It Again Tony!"
:-)
I would like to point out, in my own defense, when I wrote that post, the identical joke that now sits above it wasn't there yet.
Slashdot should implement some kind of pessimistic locking mechanism on all the obvious puns for a given article

You are right. It won't be Siberian :-)

Once you get up to speed, you'll be able to spot it in no time!
It is spelt "Flames"
5) Kicking the shit out of you for propogating stereo types. Kicking the shit out of you and all your descendents if you are Irish and wrote that.
So if you would stop pointing it at my flat, that would be appreciated.

Maybe they might go after the end users SCO-style.
"How many JPEGs do I have on my hardrive?"
"Does it apply to MPEGs aswell?"
"Would a judge entertain a porn as free speech argument?"
... should you demand a Xeon-style salary?
I think the goggles are so that they can watch teenagers making out...
"Why is it that I'm not holding my breath to have this technology in a laptop?"

Let's see why not:

As in all day, all week?
I was going to say that it is not really news...
