Cable: we will respect Indian's ICT demands

Yes but in the C17th there was no outsourcing. The GDP figures there refer to share of world trade.
And anyway you are working 70 hour weeks and there's no efffect on GDP or your bank balance either

Population of India is good 20% of world wide, so if in old ages when more or less everyone was poor apart from the elite, then it would be reasonable to expect India to have 20-25% of world income, so what?

Western world developed much quicker and their share has fallen, that does not mean the British stolen their GDP, you might as well use China in your example - at some point thousands of years ago they were pretty advanced in all aspects and maybe had 90% of your imaginary GDP.

That post is so riddled with errors and ignorance I don't know where to start.
But then again you're only a poorly educated techie so I don't expect you to understand

HTH but IDI.

You have certainly got nothing to do with technology - posting tulip on CUK via browser is as far as you can expect to go.

The UK IT industry needs a figure to represent its interests against colonisation by India. This guy looks the part:

If you're saying I'm not a code monkey like you you'd be right.
The stuff I do is too high level for the likes of you.
You wouldn't know a mathematical model if it bit you in the bum.


HTH.

Looks like you were right. UK IT people voting for Cameron was like Turkeys voting for Christmas, and we haven't seen IR35 II yet.

The visit to India follows Mr Cameron’s trip to Turkey, where he held talks with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and spoke of his support for Turkey’s bid to join the European Union.
UK-India relationship should be stronger and deeper – PM | Number10.gov.uk

WTF

Technology is there to support it.


HTH.

Look at the history of any big business today and you'll likely find that it was founded by techies rather than people with "softer higher level skills". It's not as if India can't produce bulltulipters too.

I didn't mean soft skills. I meant harder skills than you average programmer has - mathematical skills to be precise.
BTW coding is rather easy - I know because I did it for years.
And that's why Bob is taking over - there's no barriers to entry IQ-wise.

What was the last easy thing you coded? You have never ever said here what technical skills you have and nothing from countless bulltulip posts would suggest you have any at all.

He certainly keeps his mathematical skills well hidden I'd wager if anyone asked a mathematical question here, sasguru would be notably silent, until the answer was known.
