Covering your ignorance with sarcasm is pretty low.

Not for any DSP, other programming, or any technical or non-technical position. I personally would not attach any importance to it if I did. I would not rate the person any higher or lower because of it.

The "I'm a member of Densa" works much better when you deliver it in person -- a dull, uninspired, but not 'dumb' monotone seems to have the most impact. Now I wish I were a cartoonist (a dull one, of course) -- the slogan would make a great bumper with the right face to go with it. -- Tim Wescott Control systems and communications consulting http://www.wescottdesign.com Need to learn how to apply control theory in your embedded system?

It is not going to set you apart. The real question you should ask yourself is what skills do I have that sets me apart from other potential applicants? Al Clark Danville Signal Processing, Inc.

In fact, there's a good possibility that he is not someone named 'Kamar Ruptan' as he claims, but rather somebody else just having some fun. Bob

I don't think it will improve your resume, though. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <ben@ben.com> http://www.ben.com/
