Call it whatever you wish to, but on behalf of all indians (and as a matter of rather my opinion, on behalf of everyone around the world tired of corrupt politicians)... Thanks Julian:)
i don't know where you get your stats. but in big cities like delhi or mumbai 400k is sufficient for starters. for medium class cities like lucknow or hyderabad, its more like 300k. but yes not much from american prespective
for sure I could also be modded troll or whatever mod you might through at me
Heck, hatred and slander of religions (Catholicism most certainly included) is common on Slashdot first and formost, wikipedia is not slashdot. slashdot have been created with a mindset that a person have to read all the posts of all the users (at least most) to get the general opinion of the readers, most of the/.-ers know this while/.-ing. This is not the same for wikipedia, it was designed to be a source of rather neutral information, which, to wikicultist irony, is proving that is not true.
For ex; if I say "$society suxxx" on slashdot, it will be considered opinion and most of/.-ers will not start hating the persons of that $society (being net-savvy, they could go to religios/social hate sites which already have tonnes of such info (with made-up facts) if they like). Not similar with wikipedia, where moms and pops (who open every spam-mail they think is coming from their bank and supply their uname/passwd) will go and (many times) honestly believe the thing about that society/religion/groups as said there.
Same response. yeh, well, "Same response".
bla... bla... first amendment bla... bla...
For you and GP, This is not a question of any amendment of any country, this is internet we are talkinig about, a global thing (or atleast most of the countries where freedom of speech is OK). PERIOD
yes, I know wikipedia have done a great task by attaching the "NNPOV" tag, but what good could it be if many of the articles have this tag. I have been a regular contributor in there previously, but believe me, even if a topic is even slighly controversial, I may find thousand sites supporting that one side of the claim and modify to page as if it is true along with links to those controversial sites, making it "YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME" type page.
So wikicultists, act like true scientologists, and mod me troll into oblivion before any fact could be talked and discussed about. I am sure my wife's cat would not die...
all from tfa *This is according to my many friends at Big Blue, who believe they are about to undergo the biggest restructuring... *I have been told is the ultimate goal of laying off at least one American worker for every overseas hire... *All this is supposed to happen by the end of 2007, by the way, at which point IBM will also freeze its U.S. pension plan... *Palmisano and his lieutenants will retire rich. And not long after that IBM's business will crash for reasons I explain below.(!!!)
well, sir, last line here was actually the last line I could read from this peice of shit...
... Like Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank who... Indian poor...
Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank is from Bangladesh, not India!!! and seriosly speaking (though I have no idea about that Bank and its working) I have no clue from where you got the rest of the facts about it, care to cite some links???
http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/amend/amend1.htm [ironically the first amendment in constition itself] from above: "The citizen's right to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by article 19(1)(a) has been held by some courts to be so comprehensive as not to render a person culpable even if he advocates murder and other crimes of violence."
sorry for late reply... as far as indian express (expressindia.com, also controlling (probably) NDTV, the other big TV media channel) company is concerned, they could be more regarded as left winged, "the government should control it for betterment of teh poor and weak" type persons. Although there are some "censorship is teh evil" type medias (Times of India comes to mind) also there, but they are themselves have been many time regarded as tabloids. all type of media you can find here..
ScuttleMonkey get up get coffee ScuttleMonkey go to slashdot ScuttleMonkey have boring meeting, with boring Cowboy Neal Neal say ScuttleMonkey very diligent But his link stink His link not functional or elegant as the link have been slashdott (ed)?
i had to agree with you completely. i work for a compnay which used to support FoxPro application. the support died out in Feb this year. our next version of the same product was in j2ee, which not many of developers knows here, the only reason we were not fired was - we have running understanding of business practice - in this case - workers insurance business. our CEO told us to create a demo portal of product in 1 month (using weblogic/java), without much old experience, we somehow got it done (you could understand in which crappy shape had it been at that time).
The only reason here why no new java experienced person was hired was that he might take time to understand business practice !!!
I think it is not wether they agree to hand-over the documents is that big of an issue, also matters is what and which documents to submit. there is always a possibility that they may actually start hading over only documents which might have some beneficial value for them in some or the other ways. the same also holds true for all other corporations who have agreed. between disclosing and non-disclosure, there is always a chance of willfull partial disclosure for own benefit. AMD must be extra-carefull.
as I make it pretty clear I don't believe in racism
you believe that the cult have DNAs associated with the massacre of the peaceful citizens , warlike, psychotic race and that there are few in Europe whose lineage is not provably far older and far more noble...
are your sure you don't believe in racism... sure you might not believe in racial superiorism or as you put it supremacist groups but rest all traits are there...
and above all, if some new study have been made recently please publish it on main page rather than writing what you think about a class of DNAs somewhere in between where it dos'nt even make sense!!!
if I remember correctly, many decades back Harley Devidson motorbikes did the same thing by creating the black fashionable leather garments for its fans, as they already had a *cult* following, this just helped them in strengthening it further.
i think apple is also following the same footsteps..
I just 2-3 days back gave someone an account on my win2000 server and he launched a war on terror on the system... literally... the deletiest war in the history of mankind...
never underestimate the power of/*idiot*/ users...
looking at all the comments on/. in general, I think all we can conclude is that "(in offshoring) your mileage may vary, disclaimers apply"
we have both examples where it turned out to be beneficial for companies and some cases where it dos'nt I am more of the view that it depends more and more on the management who is trying to offshore. Just everybody is doing it so mgmt. of Avg-Joe, Inc. also did it without even looking what teh hack do they want from contractors. More chances they will loose. On the other hand deciding intelligently and then choosing contractors wisely could be turned beneficial. Is'nt it just like choosing which software/OS (other then slashdot where C/*nux is standard:) ) do you want to use. Everybody says J2EE is hot dos'nt mean my manager will come to me and say "You know what, Oracle10g is great, it has the grid thingie, so we will transport from 9i to 10g"...
from TFA "Workers completed two-thirds of their work in an average day last year, down from about three-quarters in a 1994 study, according to research conducted for Day-Timers"
if 2/3 was done on 1 day then when was the rest 1/3 was done... was it offshored... did the projects are getting more delayed by 33%... or is it technology which is doing the rest 33%...
seriously tough, i just don't know what make them come up with this statistics..
