I got to admit this is pretty darned funny.
1. Potential employee wants to apply for an entry level network administrator position.
2. Potential employee is given a really, really basic Linux questionnaire for this type of position.
3. Potential employee doesn’t bother answering questions and instead posts it to the Ubuntu Linux forums.
4. Ubuntu Linux forum’ers instantly peg this guy as an idiot because he didn’t provide his answers in the first place and was looking for a free ride.
5. THE EMPLOYER finds the thread later, announces said potential employee won’t get the job and then says (in essence) "Hey if anyone else wants the job, e-mail me!"
This is a de facto example of what we call an epic fail (for the guy that started the thread obviously).

That is priceless. Ask Your interview questions on the Ubuntu forums
That is funny! The guy should have just researched his answers using the forum or google. Posting a message was really dumb. I have seen several messages from students asking for help on an assignment. They want someone else to do their homework for them.
