It WAS Shorter path to MS Linux Job... (Microsoft strikes again!)

["Robert Reese" <robert.reese@mindspring.com>]

Well, it WAS shorter when I picked it up.  Apparently, the .ASP code creates
a unique "URL" on the fly based on some sort of system information.  Thus,
they can sort of *track* who has taken a look at their site.  Obviously, the
correct URL (below) is no longer a "shortcut".  Try going to about 2/3 down
the page at
http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,37272,00.html?dd.ne.txt.0602.09 to where
the link saying (Microsoft) "IS HIRING".  I had to do so in order to find
the site again.  (Sometimes Microsoft does things so .ASP backwards it
amazes me they  are successful!)  By the way, Outlook 2000 absolutely
refuses to copy and paste a URL into a plain text document; It FORCES you to
make it an attachment.  Just a warning to those planning on making the
switch...  The upgrade is worth it, but it still has its problems.

Here is the actual URL to the page.  Unfortunately, it is just as long as
the very first one I sent.

http://www.microsoft.com/jobs/search/jobDetail.asp?fromPage=viewJobs&jobNumb
er=17752&page=1&msid1=1763702557&msid2=300880339&msid3=-1396506496&msid4=160
7985518Modified=20B6394E70ADBE0139

For those of you that DO have HTML capable email readers, I am going to
resend the URL as HTML in the next message.  It will make it much easier to
get there.  Sorry Rick... Technology wins this one.

Robert~

Dear Robert,

I couldn't find this.  Could you send me the job description or post it
to the list?
