Note: Figures include deaths resulting from accidents in energy production and deaths related to air pollution impacts. Deaths related to air pollution are dominant, typically accounting for greater than 99% of the total.

Fine, UML probably isn't the fix, but maybe it would be helpful if developers were able to communicate via drawing a consistent set of objects and interactions without having to explain themselves at a simple level.

This sounds pretty great, the biggest hurdle would probably be the fact that most current Radio Shack stores are very small relative to the space that would most likely be needed for these kinds of varying DIY projects. Though I haven't been in a Build-a-Bear in a while, maybe ever, so maybe they could use that size model since those stores aren't enormous either.

I graduated last may as a computer science major and realized the holes in my skills were everywhere. I found that my theory was much better than my actual ability to code. It seems that schools should teach their students one oop language for three years and then start showing them what other options are out there. I found myself in the working world convinced I knew how to code in java, c++, python and php, w/o the real skills to work in any of them.
