Vladimir Putin vs Michael Dell

Al WTO Michael Dell chiede a Vladimir Putin:

"[...]you have made pretty considerable progress[...] but when we look at the level of talent, scientific and technical talent there is still room to further utilise the IT sector, so my question to you really is: how can we as an IT sector help you broaden the economy as you move out of a crisis and take advantage of that great scientific talent that you have?"

Putin risponde:
"We don't need help, we are not invalid [...] people with limited capacity should be helped [...]
Traditionally we have a very strong school of mathematics in Russia and our programmers are one of the best in the world, no doubt about it. No one can contest this, not even our indian colleagues."

Il messaggio tra le righe e' che mentre i "russi" sono rinomati per le loro capacita' di sviluppatori software, qualunque idiota puo' costruire computer.
