Not only is it not a silver bullet, but they're just flat out bullshitting these kids. "Computer Technician Network+, average salary $68,90x - $108,xxx" LOL. Please show me the employer willing to hire an 18-24 year old gradu

Too bad that common vision isn't a Desktop that isn't absolutely garbage. Maybe they should spend more time hiring people that actually make competitive applications against Microsoft than die-hard nutjobs who think waiting a year

There's going to be some harsh language in the post, because this stuff pisses me off to no end, and what you're talking about, ultimately, is none of those things. We've allowed a lot of people to become really fucking lazy.

60%. 60% of men are supposed to be sexless. The reason we know this is because all of humanity descended from only 40% of the men to have ever lived. The rest might have had sex, but they never fathered children. Most men have died in warfa

It's funny how you can tell who's garbage and who was kickass at Microsoft just based on what they're doing nowadays. Dave Plummer from Dave's Garage channel on YouTube is a great example of this. Sure, just creating T
