Is anyone else reminded of 3M by this? Also, Apple had Steve Jobs leave, company founder, then Jobs returned & Apple was swell. Similar situation. Maybe it's the grandpa in me but I feel like one gets a sense of that 'CEO feeling' at any company.. that is is why they're called the CEO.

I hate to say 'I told you so,' but, Geez, this is literally everything I hate about liberal arts majors.. A grad school dissertation on Medieval Printing Techniques of the 1400's?? My senior project was software work for a Fortune 500 STEM company that I interned for as a sophomore & this guy is selling Printing Techniques of the Middle Ages.. what is this world coming to??

Great essay on Kubuntu, Tslolkovsky! It is an impressive overview of your accomplishments, in context, and that's perfect. I've personally tried a few distros of Linux, originally developed by Linus Torvalds. My personal favorite is the one I use the most. Standard Ubuntu just does it for me. KDE is ok but Gentoo is just too lo-fi for me - I'm not interested in a product that is like living in a halfway house instead of a real house with a roof & doors & a working bathroom, if you get the point I'm trying to make here. I am aware that there are people out there who cannot lose their massive social anxiety problems & try to work on their computers. Red Hat Linux is apparently the one that's most like Windows & I've heard good reviews of it.

at a NON-Ivy League University, you are unambiguously the best or one of the best students so you can have more authority & get a good job earlier

Google, the company, is really selling the new Chromebook (i have one). They're like, "Ok nerds come & watch this video our marketing department made of this product our engineering team built." Great, Google. No one is paying attention!!! There was a new one last year & the year before & it sold then
