has anyone else noticed?? all our jobs go to India and now they are starting
to hire us back. (because they don't have the skills? and probably at rates
that equate to being able to buy 1 cheese sandwich a month with
change leftover
to play a song on the jukebox - not that they'd let you into the bar seeing as
you can't afford to buy a drink) go figure.

Funny you should say that -- it has happened to me. I have been
approached by several Indian companies over the years (for more than
just programming -- oil exploration, gems, etc.) .
However, considering the experiences I've had with Indians, I don't
mean to sound racist, but "I have found" there is a significant
difference between our cultures with respect to the meaning of "your
word" -- and as such, I will not do business with any Indian company
NOR with any company (domestic or overseas) that hires an Indian to
negotiate a contract!
"I have found" it is simply a waste of my time to try to find
profitable common ground. They are concerned with one thing, and one
thing only, and that is how cheap can they get it -- and they seldom
have a clue as to what "it" is -- but, contrary to their lip-service,
it certainly isn't quality.
I have seen them waste several million dollars to save less than ten
thousand (no lie). It was with an oil deal, not programming, and
these people were just plain stupid.
