Sorry, this is somewhat offtopic... but I found it really amusing... This<br>was posted on a major job search site:<br><br>Position: Web Developer<br><br>Mandatory Skills: UNIX (7 years); JAVA (7 years); APACHE (7 years); WEBLOGIC
<br>(7 years);<br>ASP (7 years); COM (7 years); VB SCRIPT (7 years); IIS (7 years); LOADRUNNER<br>(7 years);<br>HTML (10 years); FIREWALL (5 years); LINUX (5 years); SQL (5 years);</blockquote><div><br>

</div></div>Having seenan HR person (OK, OK, he was a headhunter)
mangle Digital's networking protocol into DELNET (should have been
DECNET, like Digital Equipment Company), I'm guessing it's possible
that the HR person took a couple of lists like this:<br>
<br>
Unix, Java; Apache, WebLogic, ASP, COM, VB Scripting; IIS, Load Runner; seven years.<br>
HTML; ten years;<br>
Firewall experience, Linux, SQL. five years;<br>
<br>
And they decided to expand it or .. punch it up a little. Of course,
one wonders why the person they want is supposed to have seven years of
Unix but only five years of Linux. Is that what the exchange rate is on
Unix to Linux these days?<br>
