See? I'm not the only one.
You are handling this differently in that you're having a fuss over it instead of just ignoring it.
We're a Boston-based startup (but with many remote employees) building simple, maintenance-free and internet-focused computers. Our first product is called the webbook and we're currently working on our second device, a TV-centric computer.
Our software team has built a new, Linux-based user interface.
Our main offices are in Boston and London, but we have many people around the world who work out of their homes. The teams are loosely organized around tasks in each release, and as there isn't a lot of over-the-shoulder management -- in fact, the software team management is remote -- people are expected to be self-motivating. Most meetings happen over video conference, and the others are by phone. A couple of times a year we may have people come to Boston.
We're looking for:
* Build/release/tools engineers. These people will develop and shape our software release processes. There are actually two positions available. One for our operating system and one for our "Channels" (our analog to apps). These positions would also entail building tools to make development life easier.
* QA engineers. In particular we're looking for people with some programming experience to improve our testing tools and automation.
* Software developers. We have a few areas in which we're looking for specialization, but the main thing we care about is that you're really good. Some things we're interested in:
- OpenGL
- X
- Linux kernel
- Linux desktop technologies (GObject, GTK, etc.)
- Google Chromium codebase
- User-space audio/video stacks
- Embedded and microcontroller developers
- JavaScript runtimes

You need to be able to communicate intelligibly in English, as I'm a monoglot, but long-term I've been considering the Brazilian market, so meeting some more people who know Portuguese would probably be good, though this is not a requirement.
I want to be up front; we don't pay a lot. If you are good and experienced, you can probably do a whole lot better. I'm looking for intelligent and enthusiastic.
On the upside, we are an excellent place for a 'foot in the door' kind of job for someone who is trying to build experience. Work schedules tend to be extremely flexible and I absolutely don't care where you are, as long as you have access to an internet connection.

Just an idea, but you'll probably find your time better spent building and submitting a doc, than complaining to your potential future employer.
An employer that only accepts word and PDF documents for my 'resume' isn't one I want to work for. You'd think that'd be clear from my displeasure with their rather factory-oriented submission process. I'm not in need of a job right now, I am poking around because I'd like to have some side work for when I leave the country. Not mandatory by any means. Just an idea, but you may want to get off your high horse and go…

Quick typo--the last sentence on https://spideroak.com/userprofiles , at the bottom: "on top of the all that, they pay less money"

What kind of gigs do you usually have? web development, design, other?
