   I think the job app is just making up terms.

   It's like "do you have SSCP certification? how about MTA? JKLW? VVTXY? POVW? FFX2?"

     @foone That's a good way to catch people who just say yes to everything. A colleague of mine used to do that on our vendor surveys.

     @keithmann reportedly windows itself does that. When you install a new driver it goes "hey driver, do you support texture compression? accelerated bitblt? and how about FakeTechThatDoesn'tExist?" and if the driver says "yes" to that last one, it ignores all the acceleration that the driver says it supports, since it's obviously a liar.

     @PJ_Evans that'd be nice. instead of weird useless certifications, quiz me on cheat codes for old games. I've got way more knowledge in that area

     @foone Why did I immediately think of a particular Windows volume license key?

     @wollman I'm definitely FCKGW certified.

     I used to have a windows 98 serial key memorized because I worked at a PC repair shop back in the day and had to reinstall that OS all the time
