Friends of my friends
As Nop has wrotte friends of my friends are not (necessarily) my friends, for sure you may compose an acronym imitating FOF but this is too geek even for me.
Nop says that he receives a lot of Facebook requests for getting in touch with people who is friend of somebody else and not known by himself. (Do I wrotte properly this sentence? … never know…) He also says that this social-networks are not social but unsocial… and I agree… as long as you use those networks you don’t get in touch in real world, what is more social than the real world relationship?
I’ve been in Facebook but I’m no longer, it is very time consuming and very often it tries to access to personal data or such things. I’m even considering how useful is LinkedIn or Xing.
In my humble opinion it is true that network is changing a lot how our world is, but sometimes, we believe that everything comming from the Internet has a positive touch: we shouldn’t loose our critical point of view… neve.

Things are changing… maybe we don’t how deep, how fast… But let’s go to the point.
It seems that car companies are one of most important keys to get out of the crisis, honestly, I don’t understand how a single product could be such an important one. Sure I don’t understand the depthness of the question… Now, there’re a lot of credit facilities if you you want to buy a brand new car.
I feel quite concerned about ecological issues, so it’s time to remind to all us this:
Importance of holding a degree
There’re a couple of guys from Red Hat working at my office, no one of them has a degree… yet. Since they both are almost degreed, one of them waiting for validation between to differents degrees and the other one waiting for Bologna plan to be implanted, but that’s another story.
The fact is that a company such a Red Hat hires people attending their competence not their qualifications. As long as I knew is the first time I see something like this. Most companies uses academics qualifications as a first filter to eliminate candidates, them they keep some of them and they start to look for some other curriculum, such a certifications (Oracle, Cisco, RHCE, or whatever).
So, does it has any sense being degreed? Interesting for someone who is working and studing at the same time. By now, although I don’t agree is useful if you’re thinking in job market. But for sure, you don’t have to miss the main goal; if you achieve a degree without being competent in any area (database admin, free software admin, java programming, whatever) you’re also out.
