  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    People in other countries would honestly be shocked and appalled at what they call education here....even in the good schools.

    So most of the good students leave the country to study elsewhere, if they can afford it.

    Okay then, stay mysterious. One thing is for sure though -- you must have gotten a fairly decent education.

    A friend of mine who does a lot of Oracle programming work says most of his Indian employees are unimaginative problem solvers. He says they are intelligent technically, but can't seem to think outside the box when a situation calls for it. He says they have a tendency to do sloppy work at times for expedience' sake.

    Typically they are very "book smart" but wouldn't have sense to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel. :D

    We don't get taught to problem solve or think for our selves.....the education system simply makes us memorize what the textbook or the teacher says.....it'a all rote learning.

    Complaining is non-productive so I try to do little of it. I'm good, I've got my health, am still gainfully, and my marriage is still intact. That rote learning is over my head though. However you're taught, you either have book smarts or street smarts, a rarity is someone that falls into the Happy medium.
