Mystery Company Recruiting Talent With a Puzzle

An anonymous reader writes "Google has previously used coding competitions to locate top talent. In a new twist on the idea, an anonymous tech company is posting a help-wanted ad that challenges developers to find out who the company is. A little digging and text mashing reveals a website containing a Web 2.0 puzzle that makes notpron look like child's play. So, fellow developers, who is this company, and, well, what is the significance of the date '01-18-08?'" Update: 12/12 20:20 GMT by KD : Replaced link to a removed Craigslist ad with a mirror.

    "Ron Paul believes in basically no government because he is an insane anarchist."

    That's a blatant lie. It's pretty evident that he believes in the form of government that was outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America as it was some two-hundred years ago. Which is to say, he believes in a strong local government, not the 50 federal well-fare cases we have today.
