Microsoft Retires Windows Server 2000 Exams

If you are a current Microsoft Partner and any of your staff hold one of 18 microsoft exams based on Windows Server 2000 did you know that they were retired on 11/9/08?

This means as a Microsoft Partner ( Certified or Gold ) you have one year to replace those exams with later versions so the competency you have is not lost.

The exams that are expired/retired are : 70-086, 70-210, 70-214, 70-215, 70-216, 70-217, 70-218, 70-219, 70-220, 70-221, 70-223, 70-224, 70-227, 70-230, 70-234, 70-240, 70-292 and 70-296

industry, inspiring others to pursue a career in IT.

Each of our three heroes will win an iPod Touch and the one chosen as the

Pigs in space...!?

Here's hoping that someone got fired for letting a virus onto a computer that ended up in orbit.

How could this happen?

Millions of dollars of research and development could have been brought crashing down onto planet earth through a careless example of human error.

It's the people, stupid (Part 2)

Yet again it's the human element that causes the vulnerability. Contractors have decrypted sensitive data, stored it on a mobile device and lost it.

Genius!

It's the people, stupid

"Chip and pin is more secure!" they cried...well yet again maybe the technology is but of course it's the physical security of the device that get's compromised and we're all back to square one.

Because of social engineering by hackers, the developers and users need to be educated and trained both when they are using and developing technology.
