Is getting Java certfied (Programmer/Developer/Architect) any good at all? Would it be useful to someone who does not have a university degree in some computer-related subject?
Get this one. I taught at a local computer training centre here in Hong Kong. I was teaching Linux and one of my students ask me whether I had the RHCE certificate. I said no. I asked if anybody has even heard about it. The same student then informed me and the whole class that his company sent 11 guys to the entire Redhat course. I mean RH-Basic, System Admin, Networking and lastly the RHCE-300 course. 2 of them failed completely and the rest got over 50% of the scores but no one could get 80% for a cert. Only one guy, a Caucasian (read: Somebody good with English) who did not take the courses got certified. That was a real scare for many people here in Hong Kong. Apparently, it was spread all around. I mean, the student said that they could just have burnt the money for what it was worth. Anyways, I decided that it would be good for me to get such a difficult cert. I took the RH-300 and then the exam. I cannot believe the simplicity of the test. Okay, the troubeshooting part was for those who had actually dealt with the kind of scenarios they used for the test. The server setup was not that bad at all. I have the RHCE but I would not call myself an expert. Just somebody who knows enough about Linux but not everything.
FYI, Windows 2000 and XP are multi-user systems. I have got RDP running on Windows 2000 and you had to login into the machine before you could use it. Oh, the desktop you get on the remote machine is not the same as the one running on the machine itself.
Multi-user might be disabled in the Professional version of 2000 but the capability for multi-user is definitely there.
I, however, believe that I have the right to run any software that works in Windows XP on MY computer. Somebody has got to put these dumb licenses in their place. I paid for a copy of the software no matter what they say just as I pay for a copy of a book. Does copyright law really empower software companies to sell licenses to their software and not copies of their software?
The Bit Char-G does charge up in 45 seconds and run for about two minutes on that charge. It's the special and tiny motor that they've got on the rear wheels that does the trick. Amazing.
$30-$50 dollars for the bit racers?

Man, that is expensive. I can get them for less than $22.5US. Then again I live in Hong Kong so maybe I don't have to pay VAT or something.

Yes, and you charge the thing for about 45 seconds to get about two minutes of racing. Just remember to pull out the antenna on the controller all the way and point it in the direction of the car to get the most range which is about 5 metres.
4 of these things make good racing on hard floors in the corridor! Just put a few cones or obstacles and race around them!
Trying to provide the server systems that handle all the objects, the user accounts, the messaging, the scripting system and then provide the client(s) to the game server system and last of all also provide gui tools for just about anybody to create their own game objects, their quests, their own skill/attribute system and install and run the thing must be real mad now that I think of it. The goal is such that anybody should be able to use it, import their content or create their content and get their game running. Your opinions please.

I wonder if it can bring the house down it attached to a wall with rock music?

Your opinions please.SDK 1.3.1 stability was terrible on Redhat 7.1 and 7.2 Hopefully 1.4 will be much better. Otherwise I will have to continue using IBM's 1.3.0 SDK.
