I want to take this test but Im afraid I will fail. Are there free tutorials online or practice tests? I remember taking a test like this in college, only thing I didnt understand well was the ribbon cables and which way to put them on hard drives and the number of beeps and what they mean.

I took that test when I was 10 and I passed it with something like 80%. It is really easy.

The ribbon cable thing is easy - all you have to remember is that the red line on the cable goes towards the power connector.

well it was a lot easier a few years ago than it is now.

True, there were too many people getting it who just did a little book work.

I never got mine. Actually, I don't have any certs ;) Not all employers care about them.

Maybe I should change career and go graphic web designing instead? Does a person have to be a good drawer on hand or can anyone who studies the material become a web designer?

There is no drawing requirement for MCIW (Master Certified Web Master). I took all the tests back to back in one sitting without studying...but then I've been doing web development for some time now.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
