      GAH! NO![^] \m/

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

        Thank you for giving me an opportunity to give respect to Native Americans. Although they also immigrated to the Americas from Asia, albeit a long time ago.

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

                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.

                You should have been in India 250 years ago when it was really bad. We had all these light colored dudes walking around torturing people and acting as if they ruled us.

                  Nope, but I've happily worked with both. Something that has struck me over the last fifteen years or so, however, is that any group of programmers from India is likely to have more women than a similarly sized group of programmers from Europe.

                        I haven't been in a team in the UK where the majority is English for many years. Might have been in 2006, I think. Mind you, as soon as I join a team, the proportion of foreigners goes up.

                        Our dev team in the UK has 1 Welsh surname, 1 Scots, 3 Irish, 1 Indian, 2 Pakistani, 1 Nigerian, 6 English (whatever that means), although that doesn't match the nationalities or skin colours, and doesn't tell you what accents they have.

                        Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                              That's nothing, 250 years ago we kept running across vast tracts of land where the people were incapable of running themselves.

                                    Yes, thank you, I moved servers and didn't update that web site. I spent 2 years working on it but ran out of money, story of my life, before it was completed. I will remove the link. If I can figure out how?

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

                                          Yup. I dropped the dots when I moved to England, as it was too tiresome to try to explain to people that it wasn't because I like heavy metal. :-D
