Впечатления женщины из Индии о Русских и работе с ними

[star_invention]

"...it comes to mind how much what we call “personality” is influenced by our culture – especially the way people communicate their ideas. For example, when I first began working with Russians, I was shocked by how they talked to each other and to me. When I listened to them talking to each other, it was loud and very expressive – I always thought a fight was about to break out. They would also tell me, “You’re wrong” point blank, with no softening words, when they disagreed with me. My feeling, and the feeling of many of my colleagues, was that they were rude and obnoxious. However, I realized after a while that this was their normal form of conversation – they didn’t seem worried or upset. I realized I was measuring their “personality” by my own standards of appropriate ways of talking and disagreeing. I had to learn to talk and listen to them on their terms – then help them learn how they were perceived by Americans. It is true that certain people just don’t have personal chemistry, no matter where they come from, but it’s also interesting to consider how much of the chemistry is determined by one’s cultural definition of an agreeable person."

Насколько я могу судить, дело происходило в Лондоне, и Русские были довольно новоприбывшие.

Процессор ради компа

[(Anonymous)]

Хай! Я провёл небольшое испытание по выбору оптимальному процессору в комп, не ведясь ни для какие бренды и имена, я решил понять который процессор всё-таки лучше подкупать, суть было соотношение цена\качество, я залпом отмёл АМД причинность сроду амд не юзал и дружить с ним не собираюсь, изучал всего процы интел, и на мой взгляд самые оптимальные процы теперь сообразно цене\качество ни коре2дуо и даже не коре2квад, а процессоры [url=http://komputernn.ru]Intel Dual Core[/url], желание, они с меньшим кэшем, но имеют также два ядра точно коре2дуо и последние модели имеют высокую частоту, прежде 3200 мгц. Рекомендую брать дуал коре!
