Read the comments below the article. They are funny. The whole article has turned into a I-hate-India-cos-they-took-our-jobs thing. Some dudes are very pissed about outsourcing and they blame India for it :)
 
ISS: Houston, we have a problem.

New Delhi: Hello, please spell your name and give me your complete customer ID.
> This was pretty funny . Americans are witty people.
 
SpaceCo: Thank you for calling SpaceCo technical support, my name is David (pronounced Dahveed) how may I help you?

ISS: I am having trouble with my 2nd lab computer

SpaceCo: What I need you to do is make sure the power cord is plugged in. I will wait while you check.

ISS: Yes, it is plugged in! The mouse pointer isn't moving when I touch the touch pad.

SpaceCo: Ok, now what I need you to do is to plug the power cord into a different device to confirm that is is working correctly. I will wait while you check.

ISS: WTF? I just told you that the mouse pointer isn't moving! The computer is powered on and I can see the screen!

SpaceCo: Ok, now what I need you to do is make sure that the lights are green on the monitor and computer. I will wait while you check.

this stuff is really funny
 
Move along. Most of the people here who get modded up seem to be more interested in poking fun at the Indians because of their food, the way they talk, a fictitious character in The Simpsons, or some done-to-death jokes about outsourcing.

Oh great. I just switched careers from programming to aerospace because my programming job was outsourced to India.

As I said two weeks ago [slashdot.org]:

India has a "home grown" polar satellite launch vehicle now so if Gates wants people to take his stand in favor of unlimited H-1b engineers imported to the US seriously, he should launch himself to space on that vehicle.

Come on, Gates! Fly PSLV!

...the lowest cost per launched kilogram for smaller payloads... What would be the price to get my 67kg mother-in-law into orbit ?
