Funny, I got a resume that said they knew Scheme and actually cited SICP in their resume. I figured it was some idiot from this board. So me, along with HR did the logical thing. We threw the resume away and then sent this person a letter that basically said to the effect "Never apply here again".

Good going, mate. Wouldn't want to bore such and enlightened mind to death by programming Kodak's galleries or whatever crud they make in your workshop.
