    I saw an idiot today....

    Good, you were paying attention, that's more than a lot of drivers do. Maybe you were going to fast for the conditions? i.e. pedestrians around, you should always leave time to stop, especially if you clearly see them up ahead. No you didn't, this is your biggest mistake and it could cost...

    what good can a Cisco Certificate get if i know nothing else?

    I see all this hype about tons of people getting 75k a year with just a CCNA right out of highschool, but I don't buy it. It does happen, but not nearly as often as Cisco would like you to believe. It seems like almost every decent place want at least SOME experience, although the cert never...

    just got ask this logic question by a microsoft interviewer ...

    Bobby - I had seen it before somewhere, so I told them and they gave me a different one. I heard they REALLY don't like it when you just spout out the answer, so I wasn't going to take any chances. I didn't get any of the other ones they asked right, but I got hired anyways... They just...

    just got ask this logic question by a microsoft interviewer ...

    If it's the same question they gave me, it was that I had to give a worker 1 oz every day for seven days, no more, no less, and I could only cut the 7oz bar twice. Assuming it's the same problem, you don't need 7 pieces: Cut it into 1oz, 2oz, and 4oz pieces. Give him 1oz the first day, then...

    SLC Punk! cool or not

    I thought it was OK the first time I saw it, then I watched it with the commentary, which is pretty cool. Then I watched it again a few weeks later and really enjoyed it.
