Yes there is 5% error :-)

Honestly some people that get suckered into the Microsoft Kool-Aid really do know their stuff. And unfortunately a lot of HR departments are far too stupid to understand that certifications mean nothing so they require a billion certs thinking they will get someone that is perfect for the job.

So I can see why youngsters (Under 30) really think they need certifications and they listen to the siren song that Microsoft Bleats as the holy grail to high paying jobs.

A friend of mine is a fantastic thinker and tech, sadly he drank so deep of the MSFT refreshment that he will not even look at a Unix of any type so he is locked into one small skillset that when he has to deal with something outside of that world, he will have no idea what to do.

Then they need to be BANNED From making any policy decisions in regards to Security or operation.

In fact not only banned, but must wear a collar that allows any IT employee to TAZE them when they say something stupid.

I always found it entertaining that In govt you have zero education people dictating IT and IS policies.

But it's the same way in corporate america, I have yet to meet a CIO or CTO that has a clue.

If he enjoys computers, then give him a REAL OS to deal with. Why train him on the DUPLO of the computer world?

Honestly this kid needs a good linux and a good compiler. Any monkey can do IT, geniuses need to learn the inner workings and have the tools to break things or make them different. He needs to be using an OS that lets you interact with the hardware level and have access to compilers.

MCSE is the factory worker of the 21'st century. Do you want to be an assembly line worker or an engineer who designs the machines that others stand at and put caps on the bottle?

This is 95% of all MCP holders.

An MS cert does not trump someone with 2 years of real experience. MS certs are only for people that have zero experience hoping to work somewhere other than best buy.

It should have been a lawyer demanding the resolve it immediately or they are liable for fraud. They know it's illegitimate but until slapped with a lawsuit they don't give a rats ass.

Level3 is one of the shadiest ones, they do nothing until a lawsuit is threatened.

You get gate rape at the trains now as well. the TSA loves raping people.

A train ride from Chicago to Atlanta takes 3 days and goes from Chicago to washington DC and then to atlanta to and costs as much as flying directly there in 2 hours.

About the same as a typical video gamer.

it should read...

"Sony to attempt to compete with netflix and will fail miserably"

Sony has ZERO chance to unseat netflix unless they create something that is identical at a significantly lower price. And Sony is known for being greedy bastards so it will come out with a cost that will make it a complete failure.

the ONLY way they can win is to offer sony titles that are just released or actively playing in theaters.

Elected government officials are what hurts public transit.

I want heavily armed robots... I want a future full of ED-209's patrolling the streets of Detroit.

You have 10 seconds to comply.....

True, the real education is out in the real world, not the packaged BS you are given at college.
