    I'm ok with that class because I don't let shitbags like you in my house in the first place.

    Um, I've lost 20 lbs since January 4th. I'm in front of a computer at least 12 hours a day (minus weekends). I work out 6 days a week, 45 minutes a day. Oh yeah, I cut out junk food, processed foods and high bad fat foods. Just got in the BMI range for "normal" at 210 lbs (I'm tall). It can be done. I sat on my butt and ate bad. I get off my butt and eat good and it comes off.

    Amazing how that works.

    Please point out links to where XP is actually sucessful on a large scale project. I have yet to see any definitive proof, other than laugh at the great genesis of XP, the GM debacle.

    As it was explained to me, only people with MSDN subscriptions can access machines with MSDN license keys. It also cannot be used for production.

    All of our development staff have MSDN subscriptions, which allows me to install as many virtual machines and such that I need. Only catch, as stated, is that all the people accessing those machines need licensure for MSDN. It adds up quick, but doing the cost analysis, it was cheaper.

    I understand but I also changed jobs 6 months ago. My vacation? 4 weeks. I negotiated it up front. It's all in how valuable you are to the new company.

  7. Sometimes You Have To Get One on Are IT Certifications Meaningless? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I feel like I fall into the "can learn it camp". My boss walked up to me one day and said, "can you get your MCSD.NET and Java certs quickly?". The main reason, EXTERNAL contracts.

    This issue goes beyond the internal hiring process and straight into the RFP process. I would hope that whatever the solution is enlightens the people who write the RFP as well (who are usually the same types of people who are HR drones).

    I'll have to say one thing though, I have my MCSD.NET and Java Dev certs. For someone who falls into the likes to learn camp, I think the process was "ok". The exams were WAY too easy. All I found was that you are exposed to a broad set of technologies at a low to medium level of difficulty. One last plus: when in a technical interview, I now KNOW what they should know if they passed the exam. You should see the looks on thier faces...
