Jason Sprague Editor Cisco Announces New Unity Support Specialty Cisco has announced a new Unity Support Specialty to be added to their Qualified Specialist program. There is one exam (642-100: Unified Communications Systems Engineer) for this designation and Cisco recommends that the candidate have a MCSE. For more information, please visit Certcities.com. LPI Exams To Include Pilot Questions The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) has announced that they will begin adding pilot questions to their exams that will not count towards the candidates score. They are doing this in order to keep the exams relevant and prevent cheating. This new program is currently in place for the LPIC-1 (exams 101 and 102) and may be implemented for LPIC-2 exams. In order to accomodate the changes, the exam length will be extended to 120 minutes. Candidates will not know which questions are pilot questions and which will count toward their score.

Behind the Scenes At Microsoft - Another Flash programmer with too much time on their hands. Happy Tree Friends - What the...? You Are An Idiot - Don't open this unless you want to deal with something annoying! The 5th Wave - Not very good computer cartoons. 28 Hour Day - an interesting idea that will never happen. Happy Time Wasting!!!
