Little column A, little column B. It is fashionable now to hate mozilla, so you may be in the wrong story. As for where the other nerds went I am not sure. I've been looking around, but no other site has the same feeling of the good old days of slashdot. I have some extra rose-colored glasses if you want them...

Nah, Im an ITESM grad, and I do not disagree at all. I rather had a linear algebra course, instead of the 'quality management' crap courses at the ITESM... you know, having an engineering degree and all. It is this kind of crap that made the ITESM successful. I feel I got trained for a job, but really I did not receive much of an education. Now being a grad student in a top research institution in the US, I am always playing catching up, even for the simple stuff I am supposed to know. But hey, I am a leader! Even if now I cannot remember the seven habits of the highly annoying people.

The best grads are from UNAM, there is no question about it. But also the worst. I would say it is this high variability that is the problem, and not whether most people want to work for the bureaucracy. Simply, because this is not true. Most people just want a good job as anybody else.
