One of Polish universities, in Szczecin, is going to grant Bill Gates a honorary doctorate. For those who know Polish:

Hmm, by mistake I've send it to "Linux-General". It should go to "General".
Ups...

And I'm to lazy to translate...
In short:
"Bill Gates is the person who made a revolution in information technology"
"It would be great for the university" etc...

Personally I think honorary degrees suck anyway. I mean, why should this person get a degree when they haven't done the course? I seem to remember, a little while ago, that a certain Cilla Black (don't know if the American readers will know about her) was offered an honorary degree from Liverpool University (UK). The students, in unison, said that she shouldn't have it, and if the uni gave it to her, all hell would break loose. Too right, I think.

Well, that's my inane rambling for today.
