From Slashdot.org

"It's not like he needs it to beef up his résumé, but the world's richest college dropout finally is getting his degree. Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft, will speak at Harvard University's commencement ceremony in June and, like all commencement speakers, will receive an honorary degree from the institution.

But the programming whiz who once dropped out of Harvard will likely feel some sense of satisfaction."
