Well, western powers may not like these countries to become friends. Thats why they had never taken serious steps in resolving Kashmir issue. Reason is simple as you mentioned that if these countries resolve their issues, they can become economic giants. USA wants nuclear india in order to deal with China. But they fears that technological advances in India can one day make it a super power. So, they keep the kashmir issue and Pakistan nuclear threats alive. Imran Farooqui
What a nonsense conspiracy theory... Imran Farooqui wrote: Well, western powers may not like these countries to become friends. Well, to tell you the truth, western powers don't give a rat's sh*t about "these countries". They are usually too busy with themselfes. Imran Farooqui wrote: why they had never taken serious steps in resolving Kashmir issue. Exactly, western powers don't give a damm about Kashmir or anthything around it. Imran Farooqui wrote: Reason is simple as you mentioned that if these countries resolve their issues, they can become economic giants. Yeah, right. Who cares? Imran Farooqui wrote: USA wants nuclear india in order to deal with China. I can assure you that US is totally capable to deal with China. It seems that India has tricked US help in nuclear technology (to build the power stations) and run it's own military research to build the bomb instead. Imran Farooqui wrote: But they fears that technological advances in India can one day make it a super power. Once more, who cares? Imran Farooqui wrote: So, they keep the kashmir issue and Pakistan nuclear threats alive. Pakistan and India don't need any help in doing that.

Nish, stop spreading a stereotypes. You're watching too much of the popular media news or something. How do you measure the programming skills to get to the conclusion that any nation's programmers are better than others? I can garantie you that if you make a proper research you will find it totally random, with slight shift towards more advanced countries (easier access to technology, it helps). But to say that some country's programmers are better than others just doesn't hold, you have to go on a case-by-case basis, each person is different individual and it's impossible to generalize.

Exactly my point George. But then you said the software quality is down now cause of cheaper programmers. You said you only get what you paid for which is not true :-) An american working at $70/hr would not be better than a pakistani working at $10/hr. Money rate has nothing to do with quality.

Pakistani will take his $10 to Pakistan and so he will compensate the loss on the exhange rate and cost of living. If that pakistani is as good as american he would request and he would get more/less the same rate. Money has all to do with quality. You can see it at every corner, not just programming.

Again I agree with you George. I mean I will not work at a sub-normal rate just cause I am from India. I mean if I can code as well as anyone else I'd demand that I be paid the normal rate too. I dont believe in stealing an american's job by agreeing to work at a 10th the normal rate.

The news circulating in South Asia these days is that Pakistan is planning to test-fire a new kind of intercontinental ballistic missile - "Tipu" in response to the current missile test by India. The name of this missile was first heard in the year 1999 when it was reported in a local news paper. It was said that the missiles of this series are targeted for the country's space program, however the missile was not been constructed by Pakistan space agency SUPARCO, but by defence company called Pakistan Atomic energy commission. US CIA has neither confirmed nor deny the presence of such missile The missile is described as being 12 meters long and having the range of 5000 km. The utility of a missile in this range class is obscure, since the 1500 km range Ghauri/Hatf-5 provides almost complete coverage of India, and politically interesting targets at more than twice this range are rather difficult to identify. The missile can carry nuclear or conventional warhead however the major aspect of this missile is the electromagnetic destruction of powerstations Imran Farooqui
In some of the UK papers yesterday, a defence analyst said that neither country have weapons of anything like that range - 1200 km was the range said. They only have short range missiles; not Intermediate range, long range or Intercontinental missiles. If either side launched, because they only have warheads with 10 KT (kiloton) or larger warheads (they don't have anything smaller), they would risk the fallout blowing back on themselves, so it would be pointless firing the things, unless they wanted full out nuclear war.

"Why is it always the western powers fault? Why does Africa and all the other 3rd world nations around the world blame the west?" No, of course it is not always the western powers' fault. But we have to blame someone, don't we? ;) The western powers used to blame the Soviet Union for everything, now Soviet Union is no longer there, they tried to shift all the blames to China. However, they are not very successful on that, so they drag tiny countries like North Korea and Cuba (typically the countries they don't give a damn about) into the blames. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My point is, not just people in the third world countries are brain-washed on this issue. Most of us are brain-washed one way or the other, some of us just don't know it or don't want to know it. ;)

Hey George!!! 12 yrs old girl from pakistan and 14 yrs old guy from india are SCJPs (SUN certified JAVA professionals). Any "quality" professional form US has achieved any such certifications in fore mentioned age. :confused: Just think about it. Imran Farooqui
I think you just defined the problem with programmers from that region. Technically they are, on average, probably more proficient than a typical western programmer. However, they concentrate on cetification and passing tests to achieve technical proficiency. As a result, their work is far less creative and shows less innovative flair and imagination than one would expect from a western programmer. The best programming teams I have ever worked with have consisted of one or two programmers of an India/Pakistani background and one or two of a western background. That way, you get the best of both worlds. "Thank you, thank you very much" Elvis.
