As for advertising jobs, its business accepted to keep a post for 14-30 days. This is specific to Equal Opportunity Employer, which does not just mean age or preference discrimination. It also means adequate time to apply. I imagine CS has no knowledge of this, but hey eventually they will have someone running this stuff ;) Alas, I feel everyone should be happy that CS posted it at all and in the future they will do better.

You have a good point, but most Job Applications like that mention the closing date. It's been a while since I've applied for a job, so I would have had to spend some time on writing a resume.

This is Casey's reference for him: "One of my first introductions to Weston was his commit of the code that allows us all to set localized time preferences. I have been waiting for a developer to implement this for 3 years now! I could kiss you Weston! Thank you my friend! You rock my world! :-)" and "Weston is my newest friend. I am honored to be getting to know this wonderful guy!" My money is on Weston Hankins.

Sorry to see you never got your application in, I think you would have made a good candidate..
