The life that evolved is the life that the current combination of constants allowed to develop. This is why it seems that the constants are tuned for life.

Different values for the constants would have resulted in different types of life and those life forms would have said that the universe was tuned for life.

I've upgraded the OS while running production, with only one reboot required. I also moved the (production) OS install to another hard drive, also while running production - with only one reboot (the community on the misc mailing list was a great help).

One can learn all the useful things by oneself, without attending university. The university degree is just a proof that one has gone through the rigid system of an university and proved that he/she can learn, generate knowledge and is very likely to do the same in a job. Basically, if you survived/graduated univeristy, you are more likely to survive a real-life hard job. That all the degree means. Where I come from there is a saying: In school one does not learn what's in a book, but one learns where to open the book.
