I agree with you on the point that/.ers have MPD. They talk 'left' among themselves and 'right' with others (3rd world countires).
But i cannot agree with you on capitalism being wonderful concept and all that.Capitalism is gonna kill india.
Who is benefitting from the outsourcing?.You think indians.NO.The corporations and the middle men.
The american companies are screwing up the americans (no jobs) and sodomizing indians by exploiting them.(less pay and labour work). Remember the mexican brothers.
The oursourcing is going to create huge gap between poor (mostly lower caste) and upper-middle class(mostly uppercaste) and the rich gets extremly rich.You know what that means.WAR.
What pisses me off (more often these days) is that the/.ers (being left leaning and all that crap) are not critisizing their own american corporations for outsourcing but instead pissing on the wrong indian asokha tree.
They are like these jealous american wives, instead of kicking their husbands, they blame on sexy brown ass indian
(uptight though) girls.
There are lot of things i like about america but the extreme form of capitalism is not one among them.
This form of capitalism destroys america (and the world) just like the Roman civilzation.
Proof: Capitalism needs iraqi war and it breeds sep 11 and that leads to water gate and what next....i guess Dr.Strangelove...i digress.
One day, three consultants, each one from WIPRO,
INFOSYS and IBM, went out for a walk.
They were old buddies from Engg college, and they
were together for a college reunion..
For no apparent reason, they went into this zoo and
passed a monkey.
Being in the same business and from the same
college, there was a little bit of a peer competition
going on between themselves - they couldn't
resist testing
themselves against
each other -
especially the Infosys guy said to the
others: "Why don't we prove who is the best among
ourselves?". Why not,
said the other two.
The Infoscion said "Let's have a test. Whoever
makes this monkey laugh, works for the best firm".
By mutual agreement, the Infoscion took the first
turn. Being a pure logical strategist, the Infoscion
tried to make the
monkey laugh by telling jokes. The monkey stayed
still.
As a more practical consultant, the Wipro guy tried
to make
funny gestures... no good, the monkey stayed put...
Now, comes the IBMer... being the practical guy he
was always
trained to be, he
whispered something into the monkey's ear, and it
burst out laughing at him.
The other two were astonished. How did this IBM guy
manage to beat them?
No way they were going to accept defeat so easily.
So the Wipro guy said "OK, let's take another
test. Let's make this
monkey cry! !"
So there they went again, applying! the same methods
as before.
The Infosys guy narrated sad stories, the Wipro guy
made
sad gestures,and they failed again... Then, the
IBMer again whispered
something into the monkey's ear and lo! It started
crying, patting
the IBMer's shoulder!
The other two just could not believe their eyes! So
the Infoscion said "OK, you've won twice. If you can
win just this
one, we will bow to you. Let's make this monkey run".
And he barked at
the monkey and ordered him to run. Of course, it
stayed where it was.
The Wipro guy, true to his type, pushed and prodded
the monkey -
still No go.
So...here comes our IBM guy, again, and whispers into
the monkey's ear. The monkey just takes off! It runs
and runs as
fast as it can, as if it was scared to death!
The other two surrendered. Said they: "OK, we give
up.You're the best among us, and you work for the
Best firm of the three.
But please, please tell us your secret," they begged
him.
"Well", said the IBMer,
"The first time I made it laugh, I told it I work for
IBM.
The next time, I told the monkey how much I get
paid...so it
started crying.
And finally I told him that I was here for
recruitment.
DUDE, why the fuck do think all the H1 B indians are yes mens. Did i say just because busssh is an asshole, all americans are assholes? NO.
I am very diasppointed with/. , the site which is very dear to me but very unfortunately infested with american cockasian males who think they are liberals but they are not..infact because of their ignorance of foreign culture they tend to be racist
excuse my language because its not my mothertongue..(i speak telugu)
Hey instead of giving the Texas AG shit for their stance on capital punishment (which I disagree with btw), maybe we should be giving them a little credit for standing up for the people against Big Sony.
Given a chance to choose between those two, i would rather piss on their stance on capital punishment.
I am a recent mac (powerbook g4 12 inch) convert (a month back) and i am loving it.
i really hope that they lumped me in to that 1 million figure.
Mac shopping experience was completly new to me as there was no bullshitting.
go buy and get the fck out in 5 min.The genius bar is great.
Having said that, apple customer service (apple website) is horrible.They dont know what the fck they are talking about.
I am not a geeky geek but i love mac.
The thing is that no one knows where the movies were getting lost and even if i move to a different neighbborhood, they are not going to restart my membership. They are saying that the investigation is goin on and..it goes on indefinately.
I watch lot of movies and i had 8 movies out plan with netflix..Few weeks back i got this email:
Dear xxxx,
Thanks for your message.
We are sending out this message in an ongoing effort to improve our service and protect our customers' interests, by continuing to provide large inventories of titles for our Rental Service.
Given the unusually high number of discs unaccounted for, it appears that your shipping address is located in a high-risk area for our merchandise. As we are concerned about future shipments to your address, we feel it is in Netflix's best interest to discontinue our business relationship with you. Please understand that we do not blame you for this.
We hope that by being alerted of this situation, you may be encouraged to locate the problem in your area and recover any additional mail that may have been compromised. If you are able to locate any of the titles that have been marked as lost on your account, or have additional information that would aid us in the recovery of our merchandise, please let us know. At that time, we would be willing to reconsider our decision and cancel any investigations that may need to be initiated. Please understand that we do not blame you for these losses.
Netflix must receive all outstanding rentals within 14 days of cancellation or we will automatically charge your credit card a replacement fee for the unreturned DVDs. All items in your Rental Queue will be deleted and you will no longer have access to your Rental Queue.

I talked with the netflix customer service many times asking them to investigate in to this matter.They never disclose what kind of investigation they are doing..they just send me higher up the corporate ladder and every one means the same thing...THEY DONT NEED ME.
1.I didnt steal any movies.
2.Its not my fault that they have a faulty business model.
3.Why should i be the victim?
So fuck Netflix.I welcome amazon and i hope they have good foreign movie collection.
*the fact that the best and brightest Indian engineers come to America or the UK*

Only the rich, richer, richest of the educated ppl from india go to america or uk.There are really good
middle class programmers out there in india.
