    Yeah, but his real name was "Little Bear That Poops In The Stream" - had to change it when he left the reservation... :doh:

      Considering his description of some of his massive fecal deposits, I believe his name was "Little Bear That Dams The Stream". ;P

                                        What part of the US are you in? It isn't that bad in the UK, no where near, only a few Asians, so I guess the US must have really pushed to get them over while at the same time Americans didn't fancy a life as a coder. Don't blame them, its a pretty crap job in many ways, and you have to be cut out for it.

                                        The reason for the fewer numbers in the UK is because all of the work has been shipped out to India! ;)

                                          Walking around the office this morning, I counted name plates - five Americans and 26 Indian/Pakistani.

                                          You think that is bad, where I am currently has decided to move away from programmers and outsource (sole source) to two companies in India both convicted of felonies in the U.S. for Visa fraud. We have so many people on site that are rotated out ... in fact, some of them were involved in the recent Visa Fraud case. It isn't that there aren't enough developers in the United States but that companies think they don't need to have skill. Instead they outsource but don't insource the required staff to properly create specifications. So what you get is a large group of people that will say yes all the way until you hit a mountain. With no offense to any person from India, when I was learning to be a pilot I was warned by numerous instructors, When you here some one with an Accent from India be on the lookout, they will follow the rules into the ground. As a pilot with less than 200 hours I have had three encounters which I would say, "I am glad I was on the look out" but nothing reportable. Personally, I think outsource could be great but, I have yet to see a place where the programmers in house didn't spend the morning fixing the errors from overseas the previous night. I even worked at a place that gave the overseas people a "fake" environment and just did the work themselves because the offshore center did more bad than good.

                                          Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting.
