I saw that, too.   

...and thought about it momentarily.   

[Spidey]

Dude, your job would be smack between Zeitgeist and Ace Cafe. 


Oh, yeah.  And it'd be porn.  AWESOME.  Spidey gives it two <insert appendage> up.   

[mostrobelle]

You know what's really sad?  The only thing that was a <ahem> turn-off was that it was marketing-based and not quite as creative as I would like it  to be.  The <ahem> "soft"ware requirements would be an issue as well.   

Contest:  how many double entendres can someone come <ahem> up with in one post?   

[desmoquattro]

That was posted by my friend Mike, their chief software architect. Absolutely wonderful place to work (seriously). They're a great employer.

[Spidey]

Can anyone explain that gobbledeegook in English?  For the life of me, I can't even tell what's involved in that job.  Do you corporate folks seriously have to deal with people speaking that shlock?

[gojira]

Would you have to take a stage name with the job?

A lawyer needing gobbledygook translation?!!! WTF?! The world is surely coming to an end.

[Spidey]

Would you have to take a stage name with the job? 

What would I need a stage name for?  I couldn't go with my given name?  (Warren's just a nickname).

Sincerely,

He's writes the gobbeldygook; he doesn't read it.  Big difference, mate.

Question:  What fun people are pushing tech in who's envelope?

Zoinks!

I'm looking for a good SF attorney to bring a suit on some folks.
