Here's another example:

I wrote a monthly report that showed the cost of goods transferred between stores. The report was run at 8AM. I get a call at 9AM "We forgot to tell you the cost was in dozens. We need the report for the 10:00 meeting". I made the change, reran the report and everything was cool. Try that with a developer in India. That's a 3 day waiting period.

Let's enlighten them a little more with a possible scenario. A terrorist concern in India is writing the software that runs the banks in the United States. On Jan 01, 2004 the software will no longer function, not only is this software installed at most of the banks around the world, it's installed at the US Government as well. Not only does this software not function, it wipes out the entire system. What do you do now?

Try that with a developer in India.

I'm in total agreement.

I've got horror stories to tell about indian resources.

This will all end as soon as some reporter somewhere gets the bright idea to look into the success rate of offshoring.

Right now, these idiot reporters are writing articles praising off-shoring, not mentioning the near 100% failure rate of the projects trying this.

Like the .com bubble, like the Y2k fiasco, this is just the latest idiot trend followed by the Dilbert pointy-haired managers who are so incompetent they've become a national joke.
