From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

sigh

i'm graduating next may and feeling extremely anxious about the whole job thing. i don't think i'm necessarily awful at interviews, but i'm fucking terrified of them. i've gone through several different rounds for internships and i'm just a sweaty, nervous mess no matter how much prep i do. i hate the fact that every round i meet with someone new and i have to re-pitch myself to them. i wish i could just sit down with an engineer and walk through a real-life problem with them. how did you guys go about getting your first industry-related job? am i just targeting the wrong companies?

No wonder they dropped you. No wonder persons will drop you. You are a lot more liability than asset. But still can't follow. I know. For assets like you i got a special friend. Her name is Jennifer. They'll help. Her emotional iq is like 160. But looking hard? For me you rise trust concerns that even jennifer couldn't help. She is into linguistics while i just am truthful. Nonetheless we did latin and greek. TOGETHER. So go on. You think there is any purple women without a purple bf? Ever? I mean like if i let you touch her:you think i got problems eliminating you? My best friend is just like i am. The difference then is that spraying water is a lot of fun. Spraying fire ain't or is it?

That is the true purple curse. Knowing people and still no burning them. Because they are smart, as am i. They only differ in color. They are mostly green. I still am purple.

I even like them mostly.
