I tend to look at certifications as a very good foot in the door. Honestly, I can't see a company hiring a guy with 15 years experience and no certs over a CCIE or MCSE with 10 years. Experience is definitely a key factor in job placement, though certifications will most likely put anyone ahead of the game. I mean, if certifications are useless... what are there so many vendor specific certs?

If I'm a CIO and my network is run completely off Cisco equipment, then you better believe I'm going to hire the CCIE with 10 years experience most likely using Cisco equipment over the guy with 15 years experience doing who knows what.

If certifications didn't mean anything, college courses wouldn't be geared towards attaining them, major vendors wouldn't worry about getting people certified in their product, and the average salary of a MISM would be higher than a CCIE.

CCIE. I hope to attain this one day :)

It would be neat if in our profile we could view the total time logged in. just a thought.

I don't know. I talked on the phone with a girl from KBOX and it definitely sounds more user-friendly, thought it isn't as powerful and, in our case, more expensive.

Thanks though. I was seriously considering kace for a couple hours. Great recommendation!

I'm seriously considering Altiris for our corporation; more specifically, the Client Management Suite. We have 5 offices with ~100 computer users. Has anyone used this before? Is it pretty user-friendly? And is it worth it's weight in $$?

Also a harder question: What is the difference between this and OpenManage Systems Management?

yeah we're the cool ones. or maybe we're the...... naahhh

>I don't know why everyone seems to be giving Narue good reps JUST for making fun of me.
I get good rep for strange things from odd people just as I get bad rep for trivial things from weak minded people. I think you're giving rep too much credit, as it were. ;)

>basically saying that "you are an idiot for posting this thread."
Hardly. There are some pretty good scams and hoaxes, and a lot of smart people regularly fall for them.

>If all of you really wanted to tell me, then why doesn't everyone just
>PM me instead of embarrassing me for absolutely no reason?!?!?!?!
If everything were done through PM then we all might as well just use email and forget about the forum.

>This is really immature.
Pot. Kettle. Black. This is by far the most amusing thing you've said, honey.

>Are mods even allowed to do this?
Mods are members too. Are we not allowed to participate in the community just because we also have an obligation to enforce the rules?

>Isn't this called harassment!?
I'd say no unless it spans multiple threads and interrupts your ability to post without being attacked. If you can prove that this is the case, you're welcome to report those involved and the administration will take appropriate action.

Every time …

Almost three billion dollars is a lot of money even if it is just for one day. A one day boycott is much easier to organize that saying to ride a bike or carpool etc. even though I encourage those things (not just to put a dent in the oil industries but for the other reasons too; energy conservation, good health). I don't think it will hurt to try.

I agree 110%.
Even if it is a waste of time, it's doing more than criticizing posts are. I mean, atleast we're trying to do something.

o geeze i hope it's not the monitor. I have a brand new samsung 21" widescreen =(

was

yes, chips atleast

are you plastic?

I still don't see how people are using their common sense... I mean its one thing to be intellectual... it's another to be capable of utilizing your common sense.

If people had to use knives instead of guns to kill people the death toll would go down... duh. Come one people... stop trying to be so intelligent and think about what you're saying! Why do you NEED handguns? What the crap... I think this thread has turned into an ego issue rather than a sensible debate. You expect everyone in the world to be oh so open-minded when you're picking apart every post we make... take your own medicine for crying out loud. That's all i have to say about it... go ahead, post and bash my message. Prove me right.

I got 5,484.375 J and 1 310.79708 calories ?

thanks infarction. I would use this, but we havn't gone over any limits and are just studying namespaces this chapter. Thanks though =)

I'll just go with it, thanks dragon.

ah dang, didn't see musical... GREASE ALL THE WAY!!! WOOO

Hey guys, here's the question I'm asked.

a.
Define an enumeration type, triangleType, that has the values scalene, isosceles, euilateral, and noTriangle.

b.
Write a function, triangleShape, that takes as parameters three numbers, each of which represents the length of a side of the triangle. The function should return the shape of the triangle.

c.
Write a program that prompts the user to input the length of the sides of a triangle and outputs the shape of the triangle.

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std ;

enum triangleType { scalene , isosceles , equilateral , noTriangle } ;
triangleType triang ( double , double , double ) ;

int main()
{
    double a ;
    double b ;
    double c ;

    int shape ;

    cout << "Side 'a' length:  " << flush ;
    cin >> a ;
    cout << "Side 'b' length:  " << flush ;
    cin >> b ;
    cout << "Side 'c' length:  " << flush ;
    cin >> c ;

    shape = triang ( a , b , c ) ;
    switch (shape)
    {
    case 0:
        cout << "Triangle Shape:  Scalene" << endl ;
        break ;
    case 1:
        cout << "Triangle Shape:  Isosceles" << endl ;
        break ;
    case 2:
        cout << "Triangle Shape:  Equilateral" << endl ;
        break ;
    case 3:
        cout << "Triangle Shape:  -- No Shape --" << endl ;
        break ;
    }

    return 0 ;
}

triangleType triang ( double a , double b , double c )
{

    triangleType …

hey guys, could someone explain why you include string::size_type or string::npos? What do these do?

comedy yo

so a stopwatch that ticks past 31 seconds isn't proof? I don't get it...

i personally think the universe being created 30 seconds ago is a ridiculous thought... that's like that professor and his students who claimed they figured out how to divide by 0... i mean c'mon... there's a fine line between brilliant and mad.

sigh*... what a newb

Ok, so here are the rules:

-Keep the questions very basic (PHYS 101 & 102); this is, afterall, a computer forum.
-Wait for confirmation that your answer is correct before posting your question.
-If 24 hours passes and still no confirmation, post a new question to keep the game going.

** Please follow the rules! **

I'll start:

Question:

A car (mass = 1100kg) is traveling at 32 m/s when it collides head-on with a SUV (mass = 2500kg) traveling in the opposite direction. In the collision, the two vehicles come to a halt. At what speed was the SUV traveling?

Calm down dude, I didn't catch it the first time either.

sorry, just aggitated... everything that is said, including from you, a post is made from him trying to prove it wrong or unlikely... =/

what was that about open mindedness?

Yea, I'm saying the patients who prayed probably felt more confident then those who did not. Even if they did not know about it, the fact is that those who believe in god usually have a greater will to live. They think god will help them, and so they feel self-assured... Which is the whole purpose for christianity, to make people feel more important and confident about themselves.

ok... they didn't pray... other people prayed for them... read the post before replying plz... how would they not be aware that they were praying??

says nothing about one half being religious and the other not being...

yea.. I highly doubt it had anything to do with religion. It's too hard to do an experiment like that b/c of all the variables involved. The people who prayed probably felt more confident, and maybe had a better chance at survival...

exactly the reason i put in the part saying the patients did not know

True statements, there have been instances when cancer has receded without a known cause. However, the key word in this is "known." For all we know, it's due to process not yet discovered. Or, it could be very much due to God.

Evolution has actually been critical in understanding HIV/AIDS.

You're right, a process not yet discovered could have coincidentally cured someone of cancer the same week she was prayed for. ;)

Hehe, well as most philosophers agree, logic cannot describe a divine being. So yes, it would be 'illogical" ;)

And I'm pretty sure infinity does exist.

Would you rather believe that you lived in paradise, or in hell? Simply because you believe in something does not simply make it true.

And secondly, why can't you believe in both? I know I sure do.

i do believe in both, just not to the extent that you do. :mrgreen:

I do not like this idea any better than the rest of you.. But would you not rather know the truth than a lie that makes you feel better?

well, my lie has cured cancer... has your truth done that yet?

hah i better stop myself be4 I go off on some tangent talking about how illogical it is to have a single creator that is both omnipotent and who created a world in which free will exists... infinity is not really, nothing is immortal.

you would rather believe we came from a single organism than a loving creator?

Created by the same source? Well, we all evolved from one organism.. And about what you said earlier, how can you believe in microevolution, but not macroevolution?

If humans have slightly evolved (become stronger, faster, etc., then why couldn't that same thing have happened to monkeys millions of years ago. They gradually get faster, smarter,.. until they are actually a new species.) Macro and micro evolution are linked.

If we all evolved from one organism, then that would mean every species has the potential to evolve into a human... surely you do not believe this?

You get a paper snow-flake.

I put in powerade.

Well that's tough considering your circumstances... PCI cards generally aren't the best performing, especially for demanding programs such as gaming.

With that said, don't break the bank either. Assuming you're currently using int. graphics according to output of the software you ran, you would deffinately notice a difference in gaming with this card.

nVidia typically has a better reputation of being a gaming card, but oppinions vary. Hope this helps ;)

Ok, so there's not a gp I can set domain wide to allow installation of programs? It has to be on the local machine?

or... if you're into this type of thing (aka big money) these guys make alienware look cheap
