such new technology concepts.... that will make the boy i have hold my glasses in front of my eyes entirely redundant.....
why the savings on that alone would be worth the price...even at apple prices

no its not....its shameful
they should have been able to turn that round in 3 days at most

I have about half a dozen (more than half) of my team in India. 1 is absolutely useless, 1 is useless but it showing signs of wanting to learn, 3 do the minimum required of them and the other one is spot on.

I recently had to redo the work the useless one did. They spent 3 weeks on an application extension that just didn't work, which we found out the day before they promised the client they could have it to test. Needless to say I had to pull an all nighter so we didn't lose even more respect from the customer.

We've been forced to offshore much of our teams work from the UK to India, and as a result our name is now mud. Its now so bad that people no longer record issues for us to fix through fear it gets given to someone in India.

I've worked with teams in India since the turn of the century, its always done to reduce cost. I can't see how that even adds up. Unless you get someone who is actually really good, you often end up with people who do only as they are told. There seems to be little to no creativity, so anything out of the ordinary causes a meltdown. I'm not saying there aren't good people out there, thats not the case, its just that companies who offshore are in a race to the bottom and don't want to pay for the good ones.

I've found now that the only way to make sure my team actually understand what they are being asked is to finish all my emails to them with "unless you ask any questions, I will assume you understand this"....Its honestly like working with a preschool sometimes.

ghostery blocks 6 from this page alone

if they'd not attached the giant ... lets suck all the cash we can out of these suckers .... pump to both properties, it may not have turned into the toxic wasteland they made it

the site and sourceforge are now that tainted because of the ineptitude of DHI, they'd be lucky to get scrap value on the servers its hosted on

just finished watching it, about an hour ago and its not half bad
as per usual theres the bit after the headline stars credits and the bit right at the very end of the credits

a slashdot crammed with ads, were polls migrate from their position in the right boarder to the news feed

I would have thought increasing the supply would have the effect of making people want more and thus increasing demand for the real thing....

The way to do it that would have been legal would have been to petition parliament like the Scottish just did, you can't just decide you don't like the way your country is run so you'll make you're own....if that was a thing, I'd have my own already.

I swear allegiance to the piece of cloth hanging in the corner of the room....then switch salutes once I realise the nazi party have been doing it too.

woooooh murkins
coz thats the whole world and the entire slashdot audience

oh and the entire independence thing is an illegal act any way

They started going downhill when the cowboy neil option went away.
The embedded thing is very none traditional and I don't like it.
