I think it's time we took a cue from Chico and offered up a prayer:
Dear Lord,
I know that sometimes we have ignored you,
but please allow us 10 more years of plenty
and good times for contractors everywhere.
Just long enough so that I can retire
and not have to ever step foot in an office again.
Amen

Places I have been that used Indian test centres have had a lot of problems with crap work but it won't be too long before they sort their organisational problems out as the Indian individuals I have met have been pretty bright. I think we should nuke em while there is still time and pretend Pakistan or China did it. We could use all our old Trident missiles up.

I keep telling you, it doesn't matter, as 2016 is the latest date for the end of the world. Ask Chico, he knows.

You go into any call centre or help desk in India - and ALL the staff will be graduates, probably on their 2nd degree. BUT can they add a user to a group, and give them email access, without a script that covers every step, and then a days training gently explaining it all over again, and another day answering their questions. Those of us who have had to train them, can answer that!

Lets face it. Not going to happen.
The only reason that there are people not entering IT is that ages ago it was billed as the next greatest thing and every man and his Dog entered IT.
IT is like music. The good people are not taught but learn by themselves. My best mate was one like that. Never took an IT course in his life by can now program well in about 10 different languages and could easily contract...although he is running his own IT firm now.

Do you really think those Indian Cowboys will have worked out the difference between their arseholes and their elbows by 2016? Everything I've seen "produced" offshore in the last couple of years has looked nothing like the spec, and even then it didn't work.
