Think of the term "American" as the short version of "United States of American". :-) But I know what you're saying, most Americans consider "America" synonymous with "USA". Again, it comes from the word "America" being part of the country name. But I think we all know that technically speaking, America is one big continent. Regards, Alvaro
Hey! It compiles! Ship it.

Yeah, but it's a lot closer to the truth. :-D Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.

Navin wrote: Er, two big continents. Well, if you wanna get technical, it's two big continents and a small one (Central America). But I think a lot of people treat all three continents really as subcontinents of "America". Regards, Alvaro

Is it true that it is against the law for an American to be employed by a company in India (meaning, he moves there and tries to get a job)? Is this true for just Americans, or all foreigners? ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 "You won't like me when I'm angry..." - Dr. Bruce Banner Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
For me, its fascinating that an American asks about coming to India for job. Seems time is changing drastically.. Huh??? Reverse Braindrain ??? Regards. NetPointer

The obvious question is why any American would want to do that. The highest paid Indian programmer would probably not be getting very much more than 48 K USD (even thats a phenomenal figure and only applies to PMs and higher posts in metro cities like Bangalore) John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: Is this true for just Americans, or all foreigners? I've seen quite a few foreigners here in Technopark (a mini city inside Trivandrum that houses a few dozen software companies) but I dont think any of them are working here - probably are on business visits Nish
