I have some problems with this story. It highlights a potential problem, but so little information is given it is hardly more than anecdotal. Why not do some deeper analysis? What process is using all that CPU? dropbox or apache? Is this also an issue on *nix or os x?

I believe that the hacker mindset is about confronting problems given a toolset, and using said tools to come up with a solution. In no way is that reflected in this article. So you tried a new workflow, and it caused your CPU to spike. That is hardly newsworthy.

I didn't mention it but it is diagnosed by a neurologist in 2006, and I am meeting with someone at the university tomorrow for an evaluation with them to see what options are available to me there.

I hadn't thought about the stigma of being a drop-out so much. Thanks.
