Hey guys, I have a question that needs some opinions to finalize my decision. I'm 1 year away from getting my 4-year degree in Info. Security, but I have no certifications for anything. No A+, no CISSP, & etc. Question is, is it worth the extra time, money, & busy schedule to get certified at various levels of an IT background to prove you can to these things to future employers? Yes, I know experience in the IT field is worth it's weight in gold, it takes years to accomplish respectable credit with certain people.
Any related posts are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Certification proves to employers that you have both the devotion and the knowledge to work in the field. Often, partnerships with certain vendors/companies require that they employ a certain number of certified individuals. If they do not meet this requirement, often they will pay to send technicians to be certified.

Hi all,
I am interested in getting certified and want advice about what would
be best.
We have not fully switched to VS2005 at my work yet, still running 2003
for almost everything. I have heard that the new certification is much
different; even has a different name! So I guess my first question is,
from a self-marketability stand point, should I aim for MCAD/MCSD
around 1.1 or the new certs around 2.0 ?

Is there any way to make my transcripts of the DB2 certifications
viewable for public ?
Right now only I can view my scores , but I am unable to give an
access to let others view my scores... Is there any thing similar to
brainbench.. where you can make your transcripts as public viewable
Also the bad part with DB2 certifications is , they don't send a Hard
Copy :(
you can take a print out ... but printout doesn't seems genuine

I needed opinions on web certifications. I'm learning overall web/database
development (HTML/CSS, Actionscript, Javascript, PHP, MYSQL, ASP.NET). These
are my goals.
I'm not going to school for any of it.
What are your opinions on this? Do I need to go to school for this (I don't
see why...)? Could I get a certification somewhere? If so, where and what

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
