Yes, I am a total geek. I just passed the Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.4 exam, which is required for one to become an official Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist. I know I’m only 17, but this will help me with future employment (I can now work at the Genius Bar if I want to). The required passing grade was 60%, and I got 93%. This certification gives me more credibility for both my current and prospective clients (I have more than 30 now). On January 2, I’m taking a second Apple exam so that I can become an Apple Certified Desktop Technician. This will allow me to physically modify Apple desktops WITHOUT voiding the Apple warranty. Wish me luck!

i’m tired of losing time and money hacking my 100% standard code to work in a half-assed browser. digg this if you want to help get a massive shift away from IE compliance and if you won’t tolerate their lack of standards anymore, IE 5, 6 AND 7 are to blame.
“Comcast’s filtering/throttling of torrent traffic involves forging TCP reset packets, pretending to be from one end of the torrent session. This is the same technique used by the Great Firewall of China, and a pretty clear violation of various states’ criminal impersonation statues. Could Comcast face legal action?”I have Comcast High-Speed Internet, and I download torrents, so I’m REALLY pissed off. Filtering internet traffic?! That’s the worst thing that could happen to the Internet! I’m really hoping they get busted for this.
