My partner was successful with Lambda, and landed a good job with a Fortune 500 company. We don't consider Lambda a scam at all. It's not the same thing as college. Lambda's shortcomings are well publicized, and he went into it expecting to deal with those challenges. But it's not worthless either. He went into it expecting something like guided self-study on steroids, and he got better than that, with invaluable coaching and job placement services. His ISA is over $700/mo, but he's already come out ahead of his old minimum wage salary even accounting for the year off work to study.

Lambda has a lot of work to really be the future of education, but for our sample size of one, it's a great success.

I expected the Spanish Inquisition, but I got mustard instead. Stupid Burger King.

Women want the same thing I want from a laptop--the utter lack of exploding batteries.

Yeah, I never could hit a real baseball very well, but that little plastic ball with the holes in it was sure easy to... Hey, wait a minute. You hit the wrong key twice in a row.

I'm sure there's something in Tesla's lab that we can scrounge up to make an instant cloning device for time savings.

Well, at least you can decide on whether or not you can decide. Errr...

It sure did help me. By the way, in which series was Obvious the captain of one of the Enterprises?

We're trying to slashdot it out of existence.

I can't seem to find the -1, Whoosh moderation option.
