    At least this yahoo gives credit at the bottom with a full link to the "source".

    True, but if you read the article and don't bother to clink on the link, who do you think wrote the article?

    In fact, it appears that just about every single one of "his" articles in nearly every topic is a direct copy-paste from somewhere else.

    This one (http://codevc.com/19244_A_The_WebGrid_Helper_-_Making_Selections.aspx) is a classic. The images are replaced with "Thief" image because they were lifted. The link in the article to "My previous article" even points correctly to the domain where the images were stolen from. Sheesh!!

    I won't be able to do that until I get home tonight. I need to log into gmail and it is blocked here at work.

    That's neat!

    Having been granted the proper permission, I'll ask it - Why would you ignore a posting by a company looking for (among other things) a certified candidate?

    Well I wouldn't, necessarily. I just thought Tom's original statement was quite amusing and highlighted the sort of organization that tries to fill positions purely on the basis of a collection of certificates. I would have upvoted for the humour, and what I took to be the underlying (and somewhat cynical) vibe. I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to the quality of SQL job recruiters and advertisements. That was about it really.

    Roughly as Paul says - I distrust people who recruit on the basis of certs rather than achievements, and in particular the people who write job specs that are clearly just laundry lists (they tend to be the same set of people) not related to any real job.

    But I have gone where certification has been requested sometimes, if I have reason to believe I'm a good fit or if I know the outfit well enough to guess who to write to to avoid the HR filter.

    I've never done any certifications because I regard them as meaningless. I see far too many adverts from "training" companies who offer to repeat the course as many times as necessary to cram you through, or give you your money back if you fail five times, so it's evidently all short term crammed memory parrot-fashion learning, nothing retained longterm and no indication how to exploit the knowledge if it were retained. I have known far too many people with vendor certifications who haven't the first idea about the things they are certified in. I've seen a few people who've done certifications simply because a certain number of vendor certified people are required to enrol the company in a particular kind of partner program, I've no objection to that (other than that I think it's a scam by the vendor to sell otherwise valueless certification services) but those people already had the knowledge concerned and good skills before they did the certs, and their certs didn't present me with any new information about those people.

    I really like those "Thief" images.

    I do not have to worry about my stuff being stolen. No one in his right mind would want to do that... 😀

    I wouldn't say that... your articles are pretty good.

    Hello

    Translation: steals it

    you see source link in bottom of page (I accept this is little - this is because site is in collecting now) and in some next day we add author and detail of source site

    You're still taking people's work without permission. That's copyright violation and it is illegal. The fact that there's a link or author details is immaterial. You are still reproducing copyrighted material without the author's permission.

  • Reported the blogger one. The codevc one is harder. Someone has to track the registry down, hit the hoster up. Don't have time, but feel free to report him to the book publishers.

    Bottom line, pull my articles. You did not ask my permission to copy my work, link or no link at the bottom.
