If you can decode that you are a GEEK no questions about it.

If you can't PM me and I'll mail the solution

Cute! I wonder what kind of results it got?

Is it standard ASCII?

Does anyone know that method that lets you pass ASCII codes to the keyboard and the PC spits out the correct letter to the screen?

you press alt... or something

What's the last number, there is pole blocking the view?

Now Hiring‼

It looks like an oval shape number like 6 or 0 but nothing comes out.

ROFL....good way to make sure you don't get idiots...

Now Hiring

Ah, it's just <ALT># codes! Simplest code in the world to crack.

Hey, I wonder if we're breaking the DMCA law by cracking that 'encryption' and discussing how to break it. For that matter, what about our keyboards? LOL

Could be a six.

ASCII 0006 is the control character "Ack" (acknowledge), so it's requesting a reply...

Actually it is more than likely a 0 which would be a NULL terminated string. Makes sense no?

Given the context, a g is more likely.

Very clever. I like it. The string is "Now Hiring\0", or simply a null-terminated "Now Hiring" string in ASCII.

The last character has to be a #0 to terminate the string, or else we technically won't know what a printf("%s", msg); would output.

So they're obviously hiring programmers since that's just standard C/C++ code... and apparently those with either digital cameras or instant recognition of ASCII codes since they'd be expected to decode that while driving. (Or maybe just a running laptop at their side to punch it into.)

I wonder how many compiled it and output the string instead of ALT+0###ing the numbers into Notepad?

Who knew they were witty in Canada.
That is quite funny.

Hehe, Im not a programmer but I could decode the message. Guess that means Im still a geek.

Do programmers get paid well in Canada?

I saw this on another board about a week ago. Yes, some people wrote a short C program with that to figure out the message. It is clever, though.
