This is pretty much self explanatory:

Description:

Our client seeks a seasoned Java Senior Lead GUI programmer for a hands on coding role on languages such as Java Swing, JBuilder, AJAX, Servelets The candidate must have had previous HANDS ON experience in building real-time trading systems. 73 years or more coding Java GUI components 710 years or more actual programming experience. 74 years of more with a windows messaging infrastructure (TIBCO, MQ, WCF, MSMQ) 7Experience in Object Oriented methodology. 7Strong multi-thread programming knowledge required. 7Experience with a real-time trading application. 7Participation in system design and architecture sessions

So I guess that I should note on my resume that I started out programming on an abacus in 1297AD, and migrated to Java in 1934 a full 12 years before anything could be coded on the ~17,000 vaccuum tube ENIAC (no worries, it works as coded)...

Okay, so it prepended a 7 to the last seven lines of the description.

I suppose Error'd has numbed me to formatting errors resulting in nonsensical numbers.

WTF!? I wonder if this happens to other people.

Likely the input used · (center dot), but it got mangled into 7-bit text (and made into an ascii 7).

I will mention with no irony that "Real bullets work better" in virtually any context.

Sounds like it may be worth applying for. They may append a '7' to your salary!

I would rather have them prepending a 7 to my salary,

not if your salary already starts with 8 or 9...

Or if your salary has cents in it, then adding a 7 to the end would get you one extra cent (if they're generous enough to round up) per year...

Numbers aside, this job spec itself has at least a minor WTF. If you have 7 years "coding Java GUI components" you certainly have experience in OO methodology. And if you've built a real time trading application, you better have made it multi-threaded, because traders don't like to queue.

Not really. Just because you're coding in a language that supports Object Oriented programming, doesn't mean you're doing OO. It's possible to right some very much non-object oriented java.

You must be a teacher.

So you'd rather get $85,000 than $785,000 ?

I think s/he meant s/he'd rather get $850,007 than $785,000.
