  3. Re:Universities? on CA's $1mn Open-Source Bounty Results · · Score: 1

    PeopleSoft is kind of an open-ended money hole. The implementation at the CSU system is hundreds of millions of dollars over-budget

    The CSU system did not do a feasibility study, they didn't establish a business case, it is not going to achieve the goals they did establish, it won't even have all the functionality of the systems it is replacing, it will cost more to maintain, and the money is coming out of the general fund.

    Except that it probably happened about 23 million years ago--which kind of pre-dates humans and hunting and gathering....

    Um, the reason women see colors better, according to the article, is because they have 2 X-Chromosomes. So, your theory implies that they developed with 2 X-Chromosomes, and men with one, due to millions of years of hunting and gathering?

    I am not sure that makes sense...

  9. Community College is great... but on Higher Education for Mentally Handicapped? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Two quick points. First I think Community Colleges are great. I went to one before I went to a university, but I really disagree with the people who are telling you to start there or at a trade school (which are also great). The implication seems to be that you can't handle a university. You are bright, so try a University first. The second point. I start teaching next semester as a grad student. One of the things I learned this semester is that universities, at least public universities, are required by law to make accommodations for people with learning disabilities. Good Luck
