And from what I've seen there are a significant number of those "poorly trained" Indian workers who actually manage to learn and eventually do good work, so why not just open up the resume filters a bit and hire some inexperienced Americans instead. The tech companies should drop this nonsense about having to look elsewhere and hire "the best people"..
Keep up man. Since everyone is now using AI to describe all the mundane methods that have be invented and reinvented since the 50's and are somewhat more useful today since we have monster hardware, the internet, and more gullible people, the real AI that would be actually useful has now been renamed AGI - Artificial General Intelligence. I'm not joking, look it up.
All that money, how many billion spent, and they couldn't shell out a few extra 10 million dollar bills to have the apps written? And it's not the first time they failed to properly buy their way into a market. Just makes no sense to me...
Hmm, based on your numbers, you support more Windows machines per support employee - about 2300. Good to know - I'll steer clear of those Macs and Linux boxes.
Sorry Bill, but it appears you did not understand Impy's post. There was no description or comment on actually autistic people there, just a concern of analogous exploitation. The people he described were drugged.
No kidding, the days of Gopher were the peak of internet usefulness. Imagine what could have been achieved if images, videos, and the Army of Lamers had never come! The dystopia we got is now requiring us to watch 5 minutes of inarticulate video just to get information we could have skimmed in 15 seconds. And when there is no video, we have to get that same text spread across 3 pages full of ads that each take 15 seconds to load regardless of your ISP speed.

Certainly only old people still fall for the aftermarket AV scam? I quit years ago when AVG transitioned to "worse than the disease" status.

Go watch some of those thoughtful dystopian movies they used to make. It has all been well foreseen and described.
The world would be a kinder, greener place if all we used was gopher on ispf.
Woosh! Different kinds of intelligence, demonstrated right before our eyes!

They are living with others, sharing homes that isolated Americans would try to make work with only one or two adults.
Crap, crap, MEGA CRAP.
You must have missed that real news story about the newly-rich kids in Macedonia.
Exactly. Antivirus software treads so close to "cure is worse than the disease" territory, and they need to face up to it.
Still no cares about Instagram.
How can there be a civil war when the people who lost don't have any guns or Russian hackers?
With this breakthrough, robots are cool again!

It's not modded "Funny" 'cause it's true!
Not cheap. Too expensive compared to the alternatives. It's an overpriced terror weapon or at best a special ops / assassination weapon.
Netflix is becoming "just another TV network", becoming less of what everyone wants and more of what some people will pay for. Very depressing.
Or maybe just make the most popular Android phones explode in children's hands...

Severe brain damage, to an extent which qualifies them to be a Slashdot editor.
I see someone taught their kid to "talk wrong".
"Hello, I'm Johnny Cab, where can I take you tonight?"
GET MY ASS TO MARS!!!

Heck no, I always wished it was longer. More models, more of J. Strauss. I think I'll go watch some Space1999 now...
