The information may be incorrect, or contain statements that are not verifiable, but the statement parses correctly. It was communicated correctly, but may contain incorrect information. Anyway if a lot of the attendees are former Indians and now US citizens they may not claim they are from India and instead claim they are from the US. Doesn't really matter anyway, the tech market seems to be coming back to life here in the USA. Looks like all those corporate weasels that decided on outsourcing found out it isn't as great an idea as they thought it would be--unless you are "vanting do dalk do teg supporrrd".

Firstly, multiple bitch slaps to you for being such a racist Sea Hunt. Shame on you. Secondly, this outsourcing does, I hope, seem to be dying the natural death of all the other fashions that sweep the IT managment world, pushed along by technologically challenged managerial imbiciles who struggle to change their login password. My small experiences with customers having outsourced IT to other countries is one of endless delays due to time zone differences, communication paths as slow as e-mails and having to rely on development and test hardware that is 10,000 miles away and often difficult to access for a quick turnaround of ideas and testing. These management buffoons never seem to see the costs that contradict the next great wave of ultra-modern management policies and infrastructure. Anyone for Client/Server? Oh sorry, that's so early Nineties... What's the next great saviour of IT? Who can guess?
