Give a man a fish

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, offer him a fishing certification and he'll open up a consultancy without ever having seen a fish.

I feel like you are picking on me. ;) This week, I'm a white shirt wearing traveling consultant from far far away.. that makes me an expert. Yesterday expertise was Microsoft's HyperV, which I had never seen or even read much about. Side note: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS seems to work well under HyperV, whish is easy to use but is not as feature rich as KVM/QEMU or VMWare. Specifically no native USB pass-through which is a problem for my needs. I want a certificate!

Naw, you don't parade bullshit certs around. Big difference between "I can dive into this and figure it out", and "I have a BDSMNLOP cert and have memorized all the netmasks, but can't diagnose a flakey cable".

That's why there is NO education on my LinkedIn profile or resume.. I am PROUD of the AAMI and ASHE Certified Biomedical Electronics Technical and later Certified Clinical Engineer tests I passed as those tests were a bitch, and I had no education that they recognized.
Everything else I have learned in school was how things I have actually done, could not be done. I think you fall in the same group.

And that Dilbert was from 2000.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
