Same thing with .NET. When I see these things I wonder, is it that recruiters really have no clue of what they are asking or are they doing it to "catch" the kind of people who like to bluff/lie on their resume?
Given how many programmers are out there, it wouldn't be too beneficial to create a job posting that catches, a couple dozen at a time, the job-seekers who are padding their credentials.
And some of the applicants are presumably thinking something like "I'm as familiar with this as I'd need to be to perform the job. And I'm not going to mouth off to HR about how they don't know how long Java has been in existence. So I might as well apply."
Well, if I was to apply to such a job and saw this kind of mistake, I would point it out in the best way I could.
E.g. "I've been developing in XX language since it was released", "The technology has been available for X years and I started using it shortly after it was made public".
Well, im not a native English speaker so I'm probably a bit short on vocabulary to express it here. But stuff like that, shows that you know what you're talking about without telling them in their faces that they don't.
Apparently, Web 3.0 is the logical progression of web 2.0 for a generation of recruiters who picked the impression that the higher the version tag, the better a system is. Reckless protologism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neologism#Protologism) rampant in blogosphere is to be blamed, to an extent.
I installed web 3.0 but it crashes whenever my hyperspace drive goes into warp mode so I downgraded back to web 2.6 until the service patch is released.

The marketers got em good.
Web 2.0: Regular website with social functions
Web 3.0: Regular website with social functions and iPhone etc capability
Web 4.0: Virtual Reality
Web 5.0: Virtual Reality with iPhone capability
And I said "their" not "your" :).

YOU are the Appliance. YOU are Web 3.0.
Right now we're looking for developers who have experience in Web Fucia, preferably using Hot Toddy with Lemon Slices.
Anyone bothered to email them asking for lotto numbers?
When Web 2.0 companies just don't seem to cut it go Web 3.0!
Stellar!
The first generation (1.0) is all the technology. "Hey, check out out my Motorola cellular phone. It weighs 5 pounds and is a true portable"
The second generation (2.0) is all about the features. "Text messaging, pictures, ringtones, games, address book, MP3 player, J2ME, comes in pink"
The third generation (3.0) is all about the user experience. The iPhone
Been working my way up to 2, but the new DOM's a bitch.
You can send your dirty dishes and laundry off to the internet to get washed.
