first result:

Don�t mention in your cover letter or resume that you�re a MENSA member.

Just � don�t.

A candidate just told me that although she�s unable to use the program that is a critical component of the job, she�s sure she could do the job well anyway, and she added in parentheses: �(I am a member of MENSA)�

It�s not convincing, and it�s a little obnoxious.

(As an interesting side note, the qualifications for MENSA aren�t even all that high, but that�s so not the point.)

if you need help, i have a programming degree

it is possible you may be seeing the FRIENDTALK banner realized with some 'lowercase' lettering. .... what browser operating system are you using because this matters

i turned all of my antivirus off to make sure there were no I/O conflicts

i defrag my system nightly and have ZERO capitlization problems outside of these forums

ok i see what might be your problem.. looks liek your running a version of windows, and FRIENDTALK is optimized for Ubuntu

ok, great. so now i need to buy an ubuntu. i'm not really looking on spending even more money to talk with my friends i've ALREADY made here

the harder you make the forums to use, the more people will just go back to fark.com

getting into an ubuntu is actually more affordable than you may think, thanks to our friends as system 76

I was wondering if you could make a larger type face for the visually impaired and maybe something that would turn color images into black and white. Also assuming fedoras are fine now bc we all really old.

Oh and can we shut down the forums around 4pm EST as that is dinner time, maybe reopen them around 5am EST? Thanks

done.
