Re: Bitwise operators

I will probably offend many people by saying this, but I place no value in
being certified.

I'm sure many companies place value on certification, but there are just as
many (or more companies) that think certifications aren't worth anything.

Obviously, I am not certified.  And I hope I never have to be.  I have seen
certified Java developers who can't program their way out of a paper bag.

The real world is not multiple choice.  It's a blank sheet of paper.  And
most of the time, you even have to come up with the questions yourself.

Sorry if I offended anyone.
