Where you proposed that the lame-ass developers would be "Indian". It's not really clear why it would be valid to specifically state their nationality other than to draw some inference about the quality of code they would produce.

Another day another Microsoft patent deal Posted Jun 11, 2007 17:33 UTC (Mon) by khess (guest, #21687) [Link] Well excuuuuuuse meeee, Mr. Holistic Vegetarian Against the Klan! My comment was that Microsoft will continue to hire lame-ass Indians, Chinese, Brazilians, Russians, etc. - anyone other than American...you know...where they derive most of their income, where they enjoy their tax relief, and where they have their base of operations.I don't like offshoring of any kind and MS is really bad about it. I don't care where they are hiring them if it isn't here, it isn't right. If they want to hire offshore then I want their lame-ass OS for $35 per copy and MS Office for $75 per copy. How 'bout them apples or mangoes?
Enough Posted Jun 11, 2007 17:36 UTC (Mon) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Please. Could I ask you to remember that (1) for LWN, "here" is all over the globe - less than half of LWN readers are based in the U.S.; and (2) this is not the sort of discussion we like to have on LWN. Could we stop this thread now?
