Clearly that link I posted is the truth. HS exit tests are pointless and are useless. Being a product of the O-so-great US educational system, I can tell you HS students are getting their money's worth. It's sad how we (the US) are failing our future by not acting in the present. Other tech saavy countries will soon overtake (Japan already have) us and we will end up like Canada ;)

On a better note, the app of the day is Gaim.

Gaim is an open source, all-in-one Instant messenger client that is like Trillian but is much more secure and stable. Can support AIM, Yahoo, MSN, IRC, and ICQ. 5 *'s
