Looks like slashdot is infested with disgruntled hypocrite American techies. I can't see any other reason why the above comment was not modded 'Flamebait',

Most middle class Americans are hypocrites. They are well known for ad-hominem attacks on other countries and cultures instead of getting off their ass and speaking to their own home-grown politicians etc. who are the root cause of all their problems in the first place.

What keeps Americans in a constant state of frustration and agitation about 'stolen jobs' is the American politicians and bureaucracy. Wasting billions of dollars on wars, nuclear weapons, etc. etc. when the pathetic set of whiners that is the American middle class, continues to suffer job losses, recession and rising prices.

Another round of howling from the American hypocrites - 'them Indians are steeeealing our Jaaaabs'. Look at the supreme arrogance of it - all jobs on earth are first American jobs. Anyone else who dares to do that job is a 'thief'. For arguments sake, let us assume that American jobs have indeed been stolen by Indians. But now those are Indian jobs. So, how dare you ask for those jobs to be 'stolen from Indians' and given to Americans now?

" continues to be dangerous to be a Christian in some parts of India" Agree only partly, with emphasis on the fact that those 'parts of India' are less than 0.0003% of India's land area. More importantly, it is dangerous for Christians in that 0.003% of India only if they try to convert tribals and other backward communities to Christianity. I'm not saying this is a good thing - just stating facts. "and has been for decades" Vehemently disagree! What nonsense - the only 'communal riots' India has had for 'decades' were Hindu-Muslim. Tell me where you get your information on 'persecution occurring for decades on a continuous basis'?

Just curious - why all the secrecy?

Looks like you get a kick out of imagining yourself to be some kind of spy. The risk is not worth it. There is a 99% chance that you'll go scott free even if you take no precautions. But OTOH, it's also possible that you get into trouble even with all your precautions. The internet isn't going anywhere. Just visit China and behave like a normal tourist would. You can access the 'whole, unadulterated, unfiltered Internet' to your heart's content when you return!

Which country is this??

"Why are you so threatened by my claim that Christians are persecuted?" No one is 'threatened' by your claim - it does piss one off when issues are blown out of proportion and an image is created as if Christians face 'persecution' in India on a constant basis.

If you call a few isolated incidents carried out by a few fanatics, 'Persecution of Christians', I can claim that the Americans 'persecute Indians' in the USA based on newspaper reports of crime/racism against Indians! After 60 years of independence, there have been some cases of violence by some fanatics in one remote and backward corner of the country, brought under control within weeks (don't believe that crap propaganda about attacks for 500 days - had that happened, the state Government would have been dismissed), and you have the gall to say that 'Christians are being persecuted'??

"Mass murder of Christians in India" Sometimes I wonder how different the American media is from the Chinese/Arab state media. Is this the kind of crap that the media feeds the American public? No wonder the world thinks Americans are dumb and stupid. After 60 years of independence, in one of the most remote and backward corners of India (rural Orissa), a bunch of fanatics get wild at a bunch of christians who (it is believed) destroyed some Hindu images during the course of converting some Hindus to Christianity - the fanatics start killing the suspected missionaries. The state administration delays, fumbles and messes up. But within a few days, things are brought back under control, several of the fanatics are arrested, and meanwhile the country's media goes wild and almost brings down the state Government for not responding quickly enough. And this is reported by the American media as 'mass murder of Christians'? Pathetic!

Talk is cheap - vote with your wallets (if you can). Don't buy Dell, stick to Apple and other companies that 'keep the R&D in the US'. Let's see.

Might have 'fallen' in the US - in India, Dell is still the most popular and largest selling brand, although HP is catching up. Dell hardware is moderately priced, of good quality and has excellent on-site warranty.
