"Beware of programs implemented just for the sake of posturing ('Look at me, I'm doing something to help the poor!') More often than not, such programs are actually counterproductive. If...

Perhaps your pro-bono suggestion could be combined with a site similar to Donors Choose. Donors Choose is designed for teachers to propose projects they need but which their schools...

Some constructive criticism: I see this has been mentioned, but the picture is of a Native American, not of a South Asian Indian.
I don't think this is an issue of...

I think there are two ways that certification can be useful.

This thread should be printed out and preserved in acrylic. It was as much a Rorschach test as a SQL test. The responses perfectly illustrate many of the good traits...
