http://www.qbn.com and http://www.yayhooray.com are by far the most legit ones, you'll also find a bunch of them at http://www.qonversation.com now, but you need to get an invite (for both qonversation and yayhooray)

I got that all the time in first year too. Except I turned foe into friend and it all worked out. Plus the problem largely evaporated by the time I got to higher level classes, where people were already used to shit like that happening. Nee

You're right, averages are nice, just like the ones you gave me. All I was doing was giving you a different set that I was able to dig up pretty quickly. Anyways, if you can perform above average in your sleep, that's great. If you really t

I think that's (A) a larger cultural thing, and (B) an over-generalization. Is it really that hard to see how that can all be averted? Especially if you're in a society that, like I mentioned somewhere before, takes a much more willing appr

I guess that was the other half of the story I forgot to include. Apparently kids in Finland don't resent reading and developing basic competency nearly as much as kids in North America do. As the norm, they read by choice instead of coerci

Whenever I see this kinda stuff, I start thinking about a link that I believe got posted here a while back about education in Finland. I don't remember where it was, so I can't share it as part of this discussion, but what really stuck out

Probably fairly similar to Hadoop. From what I've learned thus far, dealing with outages pretty much boils down to replication. http://sector.sourceforge.net/tech.html looks like they can scale and replicate, and have some other nicenesse
