What the heck does this mean, anyways? That you have money to waste? Any time I see this as part of a person's credentials, I just KNOW that the article is crap. A recent article (I won't say which) demonstrates this point. Just thought I'd get that off my chest. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

I am hoiping to play article catch up over Xmas and with all the bad ones about I don't want to have any nightmares. Especially with the expected alcohol intake I might even start to believe them.
Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

sensitivity and ethnic diversity means celebrating difference, not hiding from it. - Christian GrausIT means you passed any one exam from Microsoft. That includes exams on things like how to use Frontpage. It in theory means you're on the way to a 'proper' Microsoft certification, and anyone who uses MCP I also regard as a moron, it means they passed one exam and are too dumb to keep going. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002
C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002
Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002 -

sensitivity and ethnic diversity means celebrating difference, not hiding from it. - Christian Graus:Quickly checks that my MCSD credentials are not mentioned in the articles: Yeah, MCP cred's are crap. :cool: BTW. MCP means that you "struggle to improve your career chances, but either don't have much money to spend, or are to dumb to earn more, anyway"

Oh well, guess I'll just stay in my current job of Shift Supervisor at Burger King, earning a measly $7.50 an hour. If you make $70,000 a year as a programmer working 100 hours a week, it's close to the same hourly rate. Therefore, you'll be happier flipping burgers. Marc Help!

I think I may have stumbled on the ideal way to meet women! Halfway through my class on preparing income taxes it dawned on me - what better way could I ever find to meet single, well-employed or wealthy women? They have to disclose everything to me, without the barn dancing routine of the dating scene - address, phone, age, # kids, #ex-husbands, income, investments... This could be a great Spring!:-D I'll have a full report April 15... "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

Yes, but you would have to admit to being a tax accountant. Kiss of death! I'd rather be flipping burgers :-)

Wow! We have got some bright people in the subcontinent. I didn't know about this (these people's achievements I mean, not about bright people, which I always knew about. :-D ;P ). Thanks.
