    What - it's the size of your resume that counts? Wow, I'm in luck - an unexpurgated version of mine runs to 7 pages:-D

            Whern I was in first year at uni I failed Engineering Management, I wasn't too woried since it was a minor optional subject however my dad bought me every book on the reading list. I put them under my bed and forgot about them, but then got a special pass (over 70%) in the re-sit - I must have learnt by osmosis!

              That is a great idea. Maybe once every year people can vote on things like "The most useless article" or "most complex article". That could be fun.

                I also noticed that one of is skills is putting "Redundant Arrays on Inexpensive Disks" Gosh! With that skill we could have infinite storage on a 3.5" platter for very little cost. I'm sure he really means a "Redundant Array [singular] of Inexpensive Disks

                                I'm supprised he was able to work the ctrl+c+v keys. Someone of his intelect must be used to just using tellepathy to transfer his thoughts to the Ram.

                                  Key combinations are too complicated. He probably right clicked and used the popup menu.

                                    Even so... I feel like I should have a 20 page resume rather than a 2 page after looking at those skills. After 21 years in the business if I listed every computer architecture as well as OS and might as well split languages to each. I used to list all my architectures when I was starting off, to have "something" to put on a resume, now I have to throw things off I don't want to admit to anymore... ;)

                                          you probably want to encourage rather than discourage. Most complex, or most obvious, longest and shortest title, longest and shortest article (covering something useful), etc. Maybe even SuperNova award (the contents exceeds the capability of the bounding article and seems to explode out from the article -- small article big source), Dark Matter (it is obvious some content is there, but you just can't quite find it -- great idea, fell short on covering it), Black Hole (the subject matter is so dense, no matter how long the article is, it will never cover it). Definitely add humor, but I don't think Chris wants to frighten away new article writers. Of course you always run the risk of offending someone. In science fair way back in ancient times :rolleyes: we gave some of those awards. I actually tried for the longest title award with: "The Universe, Warped Space-Time and Gravitational Effects: A Continuum in Pure Fourth Dimensional Concepts" but the award went to a lady with a lot of short words, but fewer letters. She was offended at the award, but I had wanted it. :)
