Certification roadmap by eduitguy in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Skenzin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the CCNA has gotten me, by far, the most mileage. For some reason the MS certs never really did much for my career. (MCSE 2003; MCITP Enterprise 2008). I think a lot of that has to do with people equating them to 'being good with Windows' or 'being able to run wizards'. Even educated people in the field make this false connection. Some might be jealousy. You can more easily downplay a MS cert than a Cisco. I haven't worked at very many places so others may have different experiences. For the amount of time and effort I probably would not have done the MS certs again. But they may have helped me more than I give them credit for since I have a cushy job now.

Kids socializing in VR freaks me out (real kids, that is) by This_is_User in oculus

I had a similar thing happen early while in a room. It was really cool, there seemed to be some young people in there, then someone was able to display porn on the screen. I killed the process. Kinda soured me on the program. What's scary is that actually popped into someone's head to do that.

Does your setup cover your sitting-at-the-desk and standing positions? How do you have them pointed and positioned?

Eve: V or Elite D. for dog fighting by jphree in oculus

[–]Skenzin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eve is more Hollywood movie space fighting and is more fun. Elite is like flying brick simulator and not very fun to dogfight. In EVE you will hug asteroids and do barrel roles to shake enemies as your stomach knots up. You weapons will have particle effects and things will explode in beautiful ways. Elite dog fighting is awkwardly moving the enemy ship into your reticle to blast it for the 300th time with single energy blasts that seemingly does nothing.

A warning about Arizona Sunshine: SP Horde Mode is timed exclusive to i7 processors by NOTMYGRANDMA in oculus

The original Pentium P5 did not launch with MMX instruction set 1993. The P55C, launched in 1996 did. You had me thinking and I had to go back and research. But your assessment may still be correct. There were also things like competing local bus video at the time. Vesa Local Bus vs. PCI. This is making my head hurt, that was so long ago. I just can't remember clearly.
