How stupid is SCJP oops OCPJP

I recently cleared
oracle certified professional java se 6 programmer
That sounds so great.. huh!

Some interesting facts about it..
1. 90% of IT developers are SCJP oops OCPJP out of which 90% can't explain what is "public static void main (String[] args)"

2. I cleared this exam (also) with 93% marks, not to check my Java but to put some weight on my resume

3. I cleared this exam on my 2nd attempt (what!.. wat a noob).. Is there some1 who cleared this in first attempt (without reading set of question/answer aka dumps)

4. In my first attempt, I took 2.5 hours to complete set of 60 questions and before I started (i.e, while reading 'PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START') ..a girl (just beside me), completed her exam (that's not even 10 minutes since we entered) and passed with 98% marks.. I hardly got 56% that day.

5. A site killtest(dot)org provides all sort of dumps for such tests..legally, and therz no action (or even a single post in any xyz forum against this). Its a money back guarantee and they quote "Questions in the dumps (pdf) will come as-it-is in your exam, just mug-up and give your exam.

6. Sun (now Oracle) has not changed the set of questions to certify people since , I guess, 10 years.

7. Please study K&B, 5 times, before appearing for SCJP (oops OCPJP) and yes read dumps and get 100%. Theirz no point in being ethical about it, anyways this is a certified-useless-unethical-blab-blab certificate.

8 Your manager has to say "at least get a certificate to switch to a better profile" ("I know Java" does not matter much without certificate)

9 Sun (oops Oracle) should be happy getting revenue from selling their certificate, I dont have the stats -->but, $300 per person <--

10. Yes to get yourself SCJD (or SCEA) you have to get SCJP first, and SCJD (or SCEA) are real certificates. I dont think SCJP should be recognized at all in resumes.

kill -9 me!

My senior Snr, unix expert, who works with me!

He comes to me... and

Snr:
Yaar, hi.. you updated this?
-Just made a few changes, to enhance performance, nothing altered as such, we can execute this without knowing the changes, no effect on functionality.

Snr: what have you updated, I still want to know..
-Every time, you start this script, tomcat is started and later this tomcat should be killed for faster report generation.. I just killed the tomcat before triggering report method

Snr: how did you kill that?
-I just grepped the PID for tomcat and killed it.

Snr: how did you grepped the PId of tomcat?
-Using ps

Snr: What does ps do?
-IT GIVES YOU THE LIST OF PROCESSES RUNNING

Snr: Give me the full code?
-Its not a code, herz the command, ps -ef

Snr: How did you grep the ...what?
-I piped down grep with ps

Snr: Give me the full code or syntax or command or whatever.
- ps -ef | grep tomcat

Snr: How did you kill tomcat then?
- kill -9 PID

Snr: What does kill -9 do?
[calm down Aman...]
- Sir, here is the full command I will mail you, google all the tokens in it

to: Snr@myGreatCompany.com
Sub: kill

Hi Snr,

Following line has been used to kill the running instance of tomcat
kill -9 `ps -ef | grep tomcat | awk '{printf $2}'` (press enter to execute)

Thanks
Aman, Jnr



Snr: I don't see any keyword token here?

-[M@#$%@#%#$@^@ B@#$@^$^.. 6 years experience IT snr.. F@#$#@ you!!]
- Sir, I just googled the syntax and kept it on proper place, please forgive me, I will never do this again!!!

Snr: Its ok, I knew this, even I google things down.
-Sir, same here :) Take care!

----XXX---

After this oral communication I tried to check "Snr"z R&D on server

$history

3 ps -ef pipe grep tomcat
4 ps -ef PIPE grep tomcat
5 ps -ef Pipe grep tomcat

8 ps -ef pipe grape tomcat
9 kill -9 (ps -ef pipe grep tomcat)
10 kill -9 `ps -ef | grep tomcat | awk '{printf $2}'` (press enter to execute)
10 clear
