Ok, one last thought on my (biased) view of the value of certification.

People in IT are among the few groups of professionals who are not
required to adhere to a certain standard. Doctors have to go to medical
school, lawyers have to pass the bar exam, but what about the ones who
develop the mission critical applications that all industries use?  If
nothing else, the Java Programmer certification is a way to quantifiably
measure one's basic concepts of the Java Language. This is a bad thing?
