"A recent study by Gartner Inc. predicts that by 2004, more than 80%
of U.S. companies will consider outsourcing critical IT services,
including software development, to countries such as India, Pakistan,
Russia and China."

"Speaking directly to Oracle Corp. Chief Security Officer Mary Ann
Davidson, one audience member said that it's 'ironic that the countries
the software industry trusts the least with binary code are the places
where source-code development is being sent."

Gives me a lot of warm fuzzies - who about you?!?

Cheers,
Gary
