Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard

Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
There is a barrier: Party in America studied ENGLISH as a second language (ESL).

No, I absolutely never said that it will KILL the economy. I'm saying, that it does have its negative effects. The positive effects are high intellect jobs...but for the upper crust of society. Not for the average joe who needs a 9-5 dumbarse job to put food on the table for his family.
Those guys in India are not doing massive intellectual brainwork. They read step-by-step from a manual given to them.
Give them a non-typical situation, and they don't know how to cope. It took the guy I talked to a full hour to realize what I was saying. I even told him at the 45 minute mark, that if he doesn't know what he's doing, then why not just transfer me? He said "hold on moment, I am going to speak to my supervisor". Then 15 minutes later he comes on and asks me to check my connection to see if it works now. I told him "Look buddy, you're really getting me ticked off, did you understand MY QUESTION?"...at which point he asked me to repeat it AGAIN, after which I went ballistic on Jhatender jee's butt.

If you're having problems with your wireless connetion, why were you looking around for wired solutions? did you give up on wireless?
What WIRED solutions was I asking for? Are you also not able to understand the WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
yes I didn't - were you talking about a dsl router type of device that could also dial out?
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
PCG now you are talking sense. I agree that it will take away low paying jobs, but understand that outsoucring these jobs provide us low cost services that now include banking and some are ven considering law firms. As these services are moved overseas, they provide an opportunity for all americans to retrain themselves for a brighter future. One time small "hick-up" should not discourage people.
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
even having an M Phil and working in communication company, I am still confused about ** TWO wired FIBER OPTIC connection **
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
jammies is one of them methinks.
I don't know what the hell a "dial out router" is. I have a fiber optics connection. My desktop is connected to router by wire 1, and router is connected to jack in wall by wire 2. I'm wireless communicating with the router.
The 2-wire solution i was asking for is not a wired solution. Its a router/modem combined - you can put the gadget anywhere in the home. It doesn't have to be connected to a wall even.
Kaleem, that opportunity is not for everyone. I work in Miami and our homelessness and poverty rate is high here - its enough to put Karachi to shame. Even college graduates in Florida don't have a laughing chance at a decent job these days unless they go on to professional school or masters degrees.
And IT guys are really suffering here. All these kids that were hoping to get jobs in IT are all byatching about how there are less opportunities now in the field than when they decided to go for the degree - mainly because of outsourcing.
Fact is, you move jobs away from here, its not creating MORE jobs here...its just increasing the qualification you need to get an IT job here.

Ignoramus.
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
lol..same here. i am a comm engineer with masters in the field, and i have no idea what she means by a two wire fiber optic connection. 
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard

Maybe one for going and one for coming…After all, what if the lights from both directions collide?
It’ll be chaos…
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
Its NOT a two-wire fiber optic connection.
Its a fiber optic connection with a home networking solution (a new one apparently) where bellsouth provides you with a gadget that is a router/modem in one. They gave the gadget the name "2-wire". Now what is so 2-wire-y about it, I have no clue. Call Bellsouth's Richard in Delhi and maybe he can tell you more info on how the technicalities work.
Actually its no different from a regular commercial router. All it is, is some home-made router. It casts the signal the same distance, and signal is still prone to getting cut off from interference.
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
imagine those poor guys in india!!!
she is talking about Wi-Fi connection i guess.
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
ROFL!!
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
is that gadget Wi-Fi enabled?
I think you are talking about a Broadband Modem with bulit in wireless router.
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
Okay, what is a WI-FI connection?
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
I know how you feel… lols
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
You don’t know what a WI-FI is and you were arguing with a tech support guy?
Re: Hello, This is Tech Support. My Name is Richard
I'm sorry I'm not an engineer, so I have no idea how these things work. The only thing I understand in circuits is DC circuits. At AC circuits, I gave up on physics and engineering.
