Employers/hiring manager/HR are all different in their methods and perceptions. I was hired for one of the best Corporate Tech gigs I've ever had in first interviews wearing jeans with holes ripped in the knee that were big enough for a plate. I've also been turned away from a tech job because I had a top button in a dress shirt undone once; These are superficial things. If there isn't any glaring issue in a Resume that shows a lack of time and review, I'm more likely to turn people away for objectionable content on their Facebook account than I am because of the lack/addition or structure of resume content.

With ~30,000 CCIE's out there, I think most employers with any form of large scale networking would take notice at seeing such a listing on a resume. When I see someone who has a CCNA I'm comfortable believing that whether they remember a trivial line for IP SSH Authentication retries off the top of their head or not, that within 2 weeks of being in the work environment they will have refreshed their memory on the things they've already been familiar with. They might not know anything about BGP besides its name, but they have a framework for future learning and can adapt since its obvious they have at least a base understanding of using the CLI.

This probably has more to do with the fact that they're already comfortably employed. Nobody wants to go spend money and time on a cert that expires every few years if they're not likely to see a pay increase for doing what they normally do; This especially applies to people who are able to transition to new positions without a cert because they are reasonably able to demonstrate to a coworker/superior that they can XXXXX. I have expired certifications for various things that I will never renew, but their expiration hasn't stopped me from listing them when I've needed work in the past. Just like any other degree or cert, they're a sign that I can play the game while also giving someone a further impression of past experience.

Interviews that solely parallel proselytization by a religious fundamentalist with every obscure question and answer from their point of view covered are often a waste of time.

The 12 Gauge made from scratch starts on page 100 under Section 3, Number 2.

Jack Donaghy: Your magic jeans are from BDL? Oh Lemon, it's not hand-made in USA, it's pronounced Hand-made in Usa. The Hand people are a Vietnamese slave tribe and Usa is their island prison. They made your jeans. You know how they get the stitching so small?
[puts hands to mouth and whispers]
Jack Donaghy: orphans.

You're talking about Lionbridge.
Leapforce isn't capped in the same way, but it has a lower rate of pay. Individual raters see limited hours at first, but as long as you perform well there is usually way more than 40+ hours.

This isn't news, as old versions of the General Guidelines have been leaked to the public before.

As someone who has spent $$ on the LoTR machine between New Orleans, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Biloxi and Cherokee, I was outraged that it wasn't nearly as much fun as most of the Monopoly slot games. That said, it had familiar imagery, fun sounds, pretty lights, and multipliers that are saved through progressive play. (That means I can save my multiplier from city to city, with months in between play. When it comes to slot machines, that's pretty fucking awesome.)

I first read The Hobbit more than 25 years ago, and could be considered somewhat a fan of the body of related works since most people have a hard time reading through a book once, much less several times. I didn't enjoy the movies because my imagination is so much more brilliant than Peter Jackson could ever match, but I've no problem with a silly little game. It's a little pricey compared to 'Invaders from Planet Moo-lah,' but I don't mind spending $20 on it when I see it on a Casino floor.

I started reading this post and thought INTJ myself. Googling says Zuckerberg is an INTJ, Steve Jobs an ENTJ, with a whole lot of non-Mastermind opinion on what the President may be.

Personally I buy 2-5 of everything so I don't need to worry about changing my 'look.' It's obvious that I care about my 'look' since I took the time to determine what it was, but beyond initial determination I don't care. Having multiple copies of clothes enables the 'same' shirt or pants with regularity without resorting to wearing dirty clothes. Were I to wear a pair of shorts 2 days in a row at home, who the hell notices? It's not any different than choosing profile images or appearance of an Avatar; Aside from shaving and general cleanliness, I don't ever need to think about my look while being readily identifiable and presentable at all times.

It's not the clothes that I'm concerned about. There are far larger matters at stake every day of our lives as one day we will die, and the best that we can hope for is that we leave a better world for friends, family and other people to live in.

This area isn't so gray, nor is it of significant proportions such that there is a need to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

I can misuse gasoline (or a number of other things) as easily I could a firearm, but that doesn't mean we should prohibit the sale of fuel at the gas station because people can tap their credit card and go home to make dangerous/explosive materials.

Making guns illegal or difficult to access isn't going to stop anybody who is truly committed to atrocity. People are going to suck; Try to make the world a better place anyways.

I don't think it is fair to trivialize the earlier Cisco exams, as whether you think CCNA and CCNP are simplistic or not, the fact of the matter is that you still need to know what you're doing when you take the exam. I've seen numerous people cheat their way through CCNA prep courses only to bomb on an actual Cert exam because they were a fail on doing anything beyond reaching Global Config.

CCIE? That's an expensive item to keep current, and those with the capability probably wouldn't be paying for that renewal themselves. A CCNA is much easier on the pocket for the individual, and due to the degree of difficulty/knowledge required I can probably rely on anyone with an active cert to have a clue or seven.

Whether the Trauma of FGM is a billion times worse than Male Circumcision is irrelevant, they're both forms of amputation. Cutting off a part of my body without my consent falls under my personal opinion of mutilation, and I will always feel a slight resentment towards my parents for making that choice with my body.

Saying that the US allowed Assanage to leave Sweden is like saying the US allowed Roman Polanski 30 years to board a different plane or leave the airport whenever he saw a US security detail waiting to pick him up.

As for conspiracies, why would the UK threaten to raid an Embassy, raising future doubt over the sovereignty of other Embassy situations? The UK is potentially willing to damage relations with Ecuador and other countries by violating the sanctity of an Embassy to pursue a rape case that disregards content from the original police incident reports. I'm not going to quantify the weight of the evils of rape versus other injustice, but given the circumstances, this is a pretty weak reason to cause an international scene. Neither of the alleged victims behaved much like a victim for the initial police reports, and as adults who consented to at least most of their evening & partying with Assanage, this is a far cry from taking advantage of an underage girl (child) as in Polanski's case.

So why the red notice from Interpol? Is Assanage a ranking member of a drug cartel, an arms dealer, or a sex Trafficker?

"Who decides that Julian Assanage is harmful?"
It seems to be the US Government...

Don't get caught.

I think a more important question is "Will I be able to keep my APM up in Starcraft 2?"

I am a full time student who also works 40+ hours a week, entirely by computer. Due to the nature of my work my arm is often physically exhausted from the amount of utilization of my mouse on a daily basis, decreasing my desire to use a computer for studying or personal time. I find that I am able to save myself a lot of physical frustration as well as find convenience in mobility by instead utilizing my tablet to read School books and other documents. I can hold it in whatever position I need to view it comfortably, navigating with ease in nearly any location I like with simple finger swipes; I can't say the same for my laptop or desktops.

My situation isn't atypical, either in supply of hardware to have such options or in the nature of work/life for most people, but that doesn't mean that it won't become the norm as the technology becomes more affordable and available. It might not be for everyone due to a number of factors, but I am able to accomplish a lot more reading on a daily basis due to the versatility/mobility provided by a tablet.

A proctor is irrelevant if students have crammed most of the answers in their heads such as you might find for CCNA course work. Most of the answers are the same for each test all throughout the course, the Final Exam for each portion being randomized from a bank of questions that are easily found via search engine.

The saving grace for something like that however is when the students go to take the actual Cisco cert and can't pass the practical portion because they can't remember anything past getting to Global Config.

You're erroneously linking interest in athletics to interest in colleges. While there are those who base their college choices on sports teams, for many people it is still about the Education and the Experience.

My freshman year at USF was also the inaugural year of our football team. I remember the commentary going around the campus newspaper about the money we were being offered by UF and FSU to play their football teams (not a prayer of winning). The whole thing would have been an embarrassment to our school for losing all season if we'd accepted offers like those, and looking back I still don't think that being offered the equivalent of 1/3rd of UF's CS department so that they could've won one more game in a season was a valid expenditure on their part, even for advertising "Look at us, we're the Gators! We aren't computer literate but we stomped all over that first year newb football team. They use computers, look what good it did them!"
