Re: A Swedish Idea (an aside)

What's rather funny about all this is that people are mistaking a sort of
anti-patriotism for racism, and MY original statements were supposed to be
absurd enough that you couldn't take it for anything other than a joke. But
now we see that people agree with the statements, while changing the country
in question... :) 

Kettle, why don't you be quiet?

 Bill Gates may be from the US, but Micro$oft employees come from all over
 the world.  Visit Redmond, WA, USA and you'll see for yourself.

  Personally, I'm becoming more and more convinced that not only is Sweden
  full of lousy programmers, but they're all lousy in congruent ways just to
  make the rest of the world's jobs harder.
 
  I say we all start using Bavarian products, if only because Bavarian names
  seem to have a better vowel/consonant ratio.
 
  Say, Randy... what country are YOU from? (That's the leading indicator for
  quality of code...)

I was going to say something about SAP, but I didn't want to upset the
Bavarian delegation.
