The plugin is from http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/ kept up to date in yum(ex) Works. No errors. Chris is right, it is against the law to make any reference to age, gender, etc. But I can relate to Carl too. When I need to hire someone (which I just did, the latest two months ago) I know what I want and the type of audience I want to have. And I have to make the most of my add to be catchy enough to reach it and attract what I see might be the right person for the team. If Carl wants someone young and enthusiast what I read is that he doesn't necessarily needs experience and he is also prepared to offer flexible hours (see how early young people get up in the morning, especially on Mondays). He is also prepared to take the risk that comes with lack of experience and youth. What I read there is opportunity to grow for a recent graduate with as little as under 3 years industry experience with a passion for computers and the linux virus in him/her, the Gentoo strain in this case. I may add that like with everything else, you don't always get what you want, nor what you need. But if you don't ask for it, in the nicest possible way you can of course, you don't get it at all. And not always the person that best fits the initial profile gets the job either. Probably this is why his posting in this list. Where best to find the most infected audience with the right bug?
