You're not. There's at least two idiots in here. According to them, aBut are all traces busses? I didn't think so...
Could be wrong though
1960's transistor radio has a bus in.

For what it's worth, I think if anyone managed to pass this exam and
Most certifications in anything are almost worthless. Anyone can pass most
tests and not know very much about what is being certified. The ones
doing the certifications have convienced the business owners that
certification is great. Just a cash cow as you put it. In my state if your
car is less than about 6 years old (forgot the exect age) thye plug it into
a computer and it spits out an emissions certification When the same car
turns 7 that is no longer required. Seems to me that a new car would have
less emission problems than a new one. The old car inspection is $ 10 and
the newer one is $ 30. Guess that if you can affoard a new car youcan pay
an extra $ 20.

4) The most popular printers today are laser, inkjet and line printers
OK that makes sense. I still use dot matrix occasionally up till a couple of
years ago. If you consider the set of 3 then the statement is true. I still
see dot matrix and thermal in many business settings today.
Very poor wording of question. It's not hard to make a question which tests
knowledge accurately without being ambigous or dwelling on semantics within the
myopic "PC" field.
The TTL / CMOS answer within the other question is poor as well.

Possibly some certs are worthless in some cases. There at one time was a flood
of MCSE as well as CCNA. That however was true of MBA's and BS Comp Sci a few
years ago. Doesn't mean it's not worth having.
I think buying a shitload of used parts or acquiring some free parts would be a
start. Assemble, repair, tinker with windows, linux, etc. Then get the A+.
Don't be a paper cert. Don't just install mandrake, when you can build linux
from scratch. Don't just read TCP/IP in 24 hours when you can read TCP/IP
bible or illustrated. Get evals of Win 2k, 2k3. Get a checkpoint eval and
setup smoothwall and ipcop. Hell, make ur own slackware firewall and server.
And so on.
However, I'm suspicious of some other the other comptia certs. Why pay $200
for linux + when you can grab the level I and II certs from LPI? Why get net +
or server + when you can get RHCT, MCSE, or CCNA? I just don't think
collecting the comptia certs is a good choice for most people. But i'm not HR.

Copper traces on the board. Buses seems like a better answer.
Be that as it may, a trace is not really a circuit. That's why the question is
misleading.
4 a : the complete path of an electric current including usually the source of
electric energy b : an assemblage of electronic elements : HOOKUP c : a two-way
communication path between points (as in a computer)
From m-w.com. The only way "trace" falls under the rubric of "circuit" is that
it's a comm path. However, all traces are not comm paths. It is not an
electronic element by the usual definition. The traces do not form a full path
either, only a full path is formed with the associated elements and supply.
I've had a couple of years of AC and DC design, and I think it's poorly worded.
Most likely the book author / sample question pool author was trained in IT,
not EE or EET.
IMHO.

Exactly, the people in HR decide what you need to get through a paper-shift
for a job, if you don't have the tickets you don't get a look-in. Its not
always the case, some people can read a CV and then experience can count,
but not always.
I had one job that paid more the more qualifications you had. I knew one
person who went through loads of exams just to get the money, he couldn't
apply the knowledge though. The mug who helped him out with the real work
didn't have time to get the exams and hence was paid a lot less, until he
left
