Sometimes, they are actually mandated by their clients to do all this. They hate all this fakery as much as you do, and would love to use their real names.
Sometimes? It's always the clients who mandate the accent "training", the "local knowledge" and the fake names. Why would an Indian call center agent bother if he or she didn't have to? It's not as if any of them actually enjoy their jobs.
My sister's "Sonar" weights 24 pounds; the cutest ball of fat and fur.
Shall resist. Should resist. Aw, fuck it, can't.
Your sister's pussy weights how much? And you describe it as "the cutest ball of fat and fur"? You're sick, dude!
I just returned home yesterday after a week in the hospital following a 9-hour surgery, so have some context for this.
When my attending nurse was signing out of his/her shift, he/she would come in with all my files into my room, with his/her replacement, and spend up to 20 minutes going through a very detailed handover. They were so efficient at it that even a casual remark by the doctor, "Get him a shave, he'll fell better" was passed on by the night nurse to the day nurse so that they could call the hospital barber.
Granted, this was in India, not in the US, but I was impressed by the detailed communications.
Tell that to South American and African cultures still practicing this successfully after ages.
A good example of homeopathic remedy
Please tell me you are just trolling? Firstly, "Homeopathy" was INVENTED by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. It did not exist before that in any form whatsoever. I don't know if "ages" for you means 2 centuries, but I would submit that in the context of traditional medicine, it means much more than that.
Secondly, marijuana for cancer sufferers has nothing to do with homeopathy or even alternative medicine. Its effects of reducing nausea, increasing appetite and relieving pain are well studied and understood. Homeopathic use of marijuana would not be able to provide these effects due to the extreme dilutions specified by the inventor of homeopathy.
Nice try at conflating traditional/alternative healing with homeopathy, which is neither traditional not a system of healing. The closest comparison I can give you is that it is as much a system of medicine as phrenology is science.
I wonder if it's feasible to coat this material on the inside of water pipes, to prevent them freezing in winter?
baby pictures. Parents think they're cute. The subjects, not so much.
And outlawing such pictures by labeling them pedophilia is your solution?
This is ridiculous. Child porn laws need to differentiate between nude images and obscene/exploitative images. Hopefully this security debate will fuel a rethink.
Whoosh!
You have no clue what you are talking about. BTW, good job with selectively misquoting Wikipedia. That article goes on to read, ""It should be noted, however, that unlike China, successive administrations (through RBI, the central bank) have not followed a policy of pegging the INR to a specific foreign currency at a particular exchange rate. RBI intervention in currency markets is solely to deliver low volatility in the exchange rates, and not to take a view on the rate or direction of the Indian rupee in relation to other currencies."
The rupee was never fixed against the dollar - it fluctuates continuously. The RBI (India's Central Bank, like the US Federal Reserve) intervenes periodically, buying or selling dollars IN THE MARKET, AT MARKET RATE to reduce volatility. This is called a managed float. Developing countries do this to reduce sudden runs on their currency.
However, the general trend has been that the Rupee has been steadily declining. One factor has been the huge public debt that the Indian government has built up.
And India never "violated" any patents. Indian law provided for "process" patents, instead of "product" patents, in pharmaceuticals. This meant that the same molecule could be created by a different process by another company without violating patent law. This is a far more sensible approach - the company creating the molecule has a head start of a year or two while others create alternative processes.
Seriously, stop generalising and read up some of the stuff you're pontificating about.
The only thing stopping our company from moving to Gmail is lack of REAL BlackBerry/iPhone push support. What is taking Google so long to implement ActiveSync? They licensed it from Microsoft, implemented it for Calendar and Contacts. LET'S GO, GOOGLE!
