   Considering EA’s disdain for quality assurance (see: Battlefield 2 series) it would have been more apropos of them to forget the null character.

   Although EA has been criticized lately Chris and nongeek, they remain a gaming giant only enveloping more companies as time passes. Their quality still remains high for company of their sheer size though.

   This is neither here nor there, but that billboard is at least a year or two old. I live in Vancouver, and have a vague recollection of when it came out.

   Akiro : not critisizing EA (great games!), but just not understanding a word (or null caracter) of this whole post

   in java, [0] can also be @^ aswell as null, so then it would read : now hiring at EACanada. if that makes more sense. even though [26] is the symbol for @ aswell. but thats just how i would read it…

    Because “13375p34k” is only useful for proving what a giant waste of space an individual is, perhaps?

    I used “l33t” because its in the title of the linked article. He covers several kinds of geek languages used in ads: dingbats, ascii, C+, math, etc.
