I think the HR got the programmers and the miscellaneous stuff stacker (forklift driver) jobs mixed up

I always wonder why people are so keen on experience and being a quick learner - if you have the latter, is the former really that important? IMHO, someone who's really a quick learner, and willing and able to apply this to any given job, then any other requirement is just ... sauce.
Besides, I've never seen a job requirements list that was or even could be met in full. I fondly remember one particular job offer requiring 10 years of experience in Java in 2000. Go figure...

I see nothing about software in there, so I assume they'd consider any experienced secretary. Specifically, the reference to the MS stack doesn't even refer to programming! The "experienced programmer" bit doesn't refer to the MS stack, so, does programming coffee machines and copy machines and a microwace count? 
And why not? Everyone likes to delegate their power point presentations to their secretary!

I guess at least you should have a good idea of the quality of specs you can be expected to implement.
Obviously the primary requirement is ESP.

If they are that rude on a job posting I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Honestly, the only way I'd take a job in LA is if I could work from my home here in KY.

I see the requirements in the posting.
But...
Is Craigs List REALLY where you want to find your next Sr. Developer?
Who wrote this? The disgruntled ex-Developer during his exit interview?
It's like... We have $100K to pay you, but ZERO marketing money to FIND you.
We will hire you, and put you in a hole soooo deep, your family will never find you again.
(Like they will figure out you replied to a Craigs List job offer!)

I don't see any requirements in there. These are requirements:
1) What language(s) does the applicant need to know?
2) What platforms will he/she be working on (PC/Web/Mobile) targeting what?(Desktop, Java, UNIX)
3) What databases does he/she need to know, if any (SQL, NoSQL, etc)
4) What architecture does he/she need to know (Stand Alone / multi-tier / web services, etc)
5) What industry are you in? What type of products do you manufacture?
As far as Craigslist... Most of the time the postings are decent and full of content like above.. I've found my last 4-5 gigs on Craigslist. It's a cheap, easy to use medium that is widely viewed and doesn't require dealing with some moronic recruiter.

Wow, I would never have imagined. I have had such mixed experiences.
One guy sold me something broken, another tried bait and switch after I drove almost 2hrs!
Maybe it is a Florida thing. Where are you at?
But I do appreciate that it may actually work... Interesting. I stand corrected at scoffing at the Craigs Listing...

I've seen a real spike in job posting there over the last 5 years.
In each Craigslist "city" page there are two links to look at:
Under Jobs
Software / QA / DB
Here's where 95% of the programming work is found
Under Gigs
Computer
This contains all manner of content that people consider computer related, but from time to time I find small contract work here.
The thing with Craigslist is that it's open to anyone to post anything, so ya, you gotta spend some time looking over each post and clicking around, but the jobs are there.

Fallout 4 teaser[^]
I just wished it was released instead of just a teaser.
I'd rather be phishing!

One heck of a teaser announcement trailer. I'm really excited about this game. They've been working on it ever since they released Skyrim, so it's been quite a while.

Doesn't load for me 
Oh, and Happy Birthday to you!
I have another great trailer that got just published, maybe also your kind of game?

Yep, Bethesda are one of my two favourite Game Studios (not all the Beth titles, but the ones they develop themselves). Nearly as exciting (but a hell of a lot more real) as a Half-Life 3 Confirmed announcement.
Plus, their games are outstanding value for money. Skyrim, with all modding opportunities, deserved a number of replays, and hopefully FL4 will set the standard once again.

Totally agree. I've got rougly 250 hours in the game (I know, I'm a piker) and I'm only halfway though the main quest.

I just received a job advert email looking for developers for a "major public facing website"...except the "l" had gone astray.

Had heard of a similar typo with respect to C++ public (long before Intellisense); almost made its difference with private as ...

Do mythological creatures craving an adventure holiday go to Centaur Parks?

It would cost an arm and a leg to go to Alton Towers.

Only if you go on the Smiler.
What, too soon?

I guess as part of the holiday Odyssey they would also dance the Calypso.
