Microsoft To Retire Plethora of Exams in July |
| Plus, CompTIA CDIA+ beta launches, and "Tech Book of the Week." |

11/2/2012 -- It seems as if anyone wanting to run for political office in my home state has to go out of their way to portray themselves as a country bumpkin. No one can make a political ad wearing a suit, but they can't make enough of them driving their pickup trucks with their 1950s "Roadmap to Success" unfolded across the front seat.
In the spirit of that genre, here is a list of more exams than you can shake a stick at that Microsoft has slated for retirement on July 31, 2013:

CompTIA CDIA+ Beta
CompTIA launched the latest CDIA+ beta (Certified Document Imaging Architect) on Oct. 16 and it is available only to the first 400 before it will be taken offline for refinement before going live. It is intended for digital information imaging/management solutions professionals with at least 24 months of experience. It is only available at VUE testing centers and there is no charge for the beta, but pass/fail results will not be available until the new exam launches (summer 2013).
If you are interested, use the promo code CDIAENG for the English version, CDIAJP for the Japanese version (when registering only available in Japan). More information on the certification itself can be found here.
Technology Book of the Week: 'A Practical Guide to Linux, 3E'
If Linux administration is a part of your vocation, then you'll appreciated the newly updated third edition of A Practical Guide to Linux Command, Editors, and Shell Programming by Mark G. Sobell. With over 1,100 pages of useful information, the new edition includes coverage of topics missing from the previous, including a chapter on MySQL database management, OpenSSH secure communications utilities, and Python. Several new command-line utilities are now discussed and the bash chapter is the best of any I've read.
Much more of a reference than a number of other titles out there, this isn't the kind of book you'll take with you to read on the train. It is, however, the first one you will reach for when there is a problem with a script file and it is complete enough that it will be the only one you need to find the solution to the problem.

25October 17, 2012 at 4:18 pm86dIt's a shame end-game play wasn't taken into consideration. While the game is fine in the first plhtrayough which last up to around level 30-35, plhtrayough two is horrible. Now I'm not whining it's too hard or anything, but you're basically forced to farm legendaries which have a horrific droprate just to get through the last parts when you're around level 40-50. Normal drops don't cut it at all at that point.Why droprates have to be so horrendously low in a non-competitive game is anyone's guess though This also isn't some MMO so it's completely unnecesary.Same goes for the dlc, it's way too short, and the end-game comes down to farming 2 raid bosses which are just stupid. They're easy, but they just take a lot of time because for example the second one can't actually be killed by gun damage (imagine that in a game about a gazillion guns) but in a gimmicky way by letting it walk over acid. That's not fun And to top it all off, because you want to get those legendary guns, they limit your farming ability to once a day, which coupled with the bad droprates, makes it nigh impossible to get the new gear. (certainly not in a reasonable amount of time) The alternative is using crystals that drop as currency, too bad everything costs 120 crystals and about 5 drop per boss, which you can only farm once a day The first borderlands got it right. You weren't neccesarily farming for guns, you'd find them from chests and would keep getting upgrades. (speaking of chests, where the hell are they in borderlands 2!? I know there's chests, just a lot less of them compared to the first game) And then tying in gold keys in a gimmicky way to twitter, f*** social networks.The introduction of a raidboss in both vanilla' Borderlands 2 and the DLC, and the neccesity to farm and use legenaries to win at an end-game level just kill it.I'm not saying Borderlands 2 is a bad game, it's just not the great game everyone making it out to be.ce |
