Hetz, I will try to be gentle here. Have you considered the possibility that the problem lies with what is written in the CV and not the format used to encode it? enough said.... More to the point, I have an RTF version as well at http://benyossef.com/resume.rtf > <extremly_offtopic> > Gilad, I don't know your reason to leave a job, but I don't know anyone who > isn't now sticking their neils and glueing their asses to the chair in their > workplace in this time, but I REALLY hope you'll find something soon. > </extremly_offtopic> Anything that you own or have (a job in this case) that you cannot let go of, isn't really yours - it owns you. I'm not a very good slave. The following lines from the Hackers-HOWTO say it best when it talks about the Hacker attitude toward authority: " This isn't the same as fighting all authority. Children need to be guided and criminals restrained. A hacker may agree to accept some kinds of authority in order to get something he wants more than the time he spends following orders. But that's a limited, conscious bargain; the kind of personal surrender authoritarians want is not on offer. " And that may not be so off topic to the discussions of a free software mailing list after all... :-) Gilad. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
