勁 翔 re-posted on In Media a fable on Education Reform (Chinese) that he wrote about a year and a half ago.  Seems like the coporate self improvement/destruction movement has invaded our education system some time ago.  Dilbert (school edition) will come soon...

The behemoth server news link

With the way that most corporate programmers write sqls, this server will become a necessity very soon for running one sql, minimal configuration 100GB memory (the sql wont' run unless the whole database is cached). 

(One night, I read an article about corporate psychopaths, and suddenly realize that CMM could be such a fun topic...)

Cannibalism Maturity Model^® Integration (cMMI) is a behavioral improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective destruction. It can be used to guide employees on the transformation from humans to animals across a project, a division, or an entire organization. cMMI helps integrate traditionally separate whitepapers of mass destruction (WMD), set abusive behavior improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality abuses, and provide a point of reference for appraising current level of damage. It was rumored that DoD sponsored the work of cMMI.
