My employer recently asked me to sit an exam based on the knowledge acquired from an exam dump. I have no prior knowledge on this subject area and I will be requested to use my new "skills" immediately. Is this common practice in IT based organisations and has your employer every requested this from you? I'm disappointed in my company and find myself in an ethical dilema.

I was recently looking nerdy places to visit while a friend was in town. Other than a few websites that were 5 years out of date, and had very specific information on other areas only — I found nothing. I've started a world-wide website at nerdspots.com, and I would like to know what places Slashdotters like to visit in their spare time.
