One of the things I have always hated and will always hate, is companies that don't reply to email.
I post this because I sent an email to Rare asking what kind of low level programming skills they where looking for in their programmer applicants for a job they where advertising (just looking for kills that I can learn while on summer break). And they haven't emailed me back! HOW RUDE!
I could have been a serious applicant asking a valid question.
