I decided to be a programmer, just because of this. Allowing for creativity, without too much fiddling around was the key success of QB I think.

Half the population of the world? You might need to think about that, not many in Asia or Africa is that concerned about Nazis. That makes it a non-issue for around 75% of the world.

I don't know, the article seemed so badly reasoned from my perspective - a very narrow Western view. In my country (and in my religion) the Swastika is seen everywhere and it is no way used in relation to the Nazis at all. Ironically, the f

Presently in Trivandrum, Kerala. And I used to live in Bangalore till last March. You'll get a nice veg meal for Rs 30 even there - Kairali Restaurant, 80ft Road, Koramangala

Just wondering, were do you live in India? A 'decent' vegetarian meal (the kind I have everyday) costs Rs 25 from a restaurant. And possibly Rs 10-15 ($0.2) if I cook myself.

That's been my fallback plan, but the problem is they don't always have anything with them to show me.

Hmm. Bloom Filter? Hmm, that's a bit of a tough nut to crack. Don't know if it would work out in a face to face interview over the desk.

Sorry, a bit confused. Is this some sort of an IVR in the US?

A bit complicated actually. According to the state government of Kerala, for purposes of reservation (a form of positive discrimination), they are classified as a 'Backward Community'. The line is so blurry atleast in my part of the country

That should count. In that case I know of an old 1986 BMW ECU that I used for testing, in my days as an engineer at Bosch. I suppose it still exists there, since they still need to support old vehicles for their diagnostic devices.

I am from Kerala. This was obviously big news when it happened. But on my mind, this was a closed issue a few years back, when it was 'proved' that the colour was due to some algae. I'm a bit surprised by this now, and also surprised that n

Yes absolutely. I used to live in a suburb of Stuttgart, and that was around the first time I really tried biking. It was definitely worth it, the well maintained bike lanes, the free burning of the fat, lovely relaxing scenery and off cour

That is a better clarification. I guess I took it in a different angle. I agree about the part that the mainstream media is not helping with its shock-jock journalism. PS: Nothing about 'rudeness' at all. Response was not triggered by that.

Think you are generalizing a bit. I admit government hospitals here in India are not exactly world class, but 'reek of urine' is not there in every hospital. Atleast the hospitals in my part of the country (Kerala) are way better than you d

I really don't think caste plays that much of a role (in day to day Indian corporate life) as it is made out to be. Past 5 years working in this industry, I have never been asked about my caste or been discriminated against because of it. I
