One-hour teacher walk-out scheduled for this Friday.

Obama + LAMP = solid!

I always knew Obama would know what the heck is REALLY up!

There might be some who don't know what LAMP is. It's an open source development environment that includes:

L - Linux (the operating system)
A - Apache (the web server)
M - MySQL (the database)
P - PHP (or Perl) (the programming language)

There's several different variations like LAPP (PostgreSQL instead of MySQL) where you can exchange certain components and still be going all open source.
