At the Grammys - his quote on this ridiculous halftime show controversy: "I have three sons, and I'm very happy for them that they were able to see one of Janet Jackson's breasts in their lifetime -- I don't think they'll be scarred for life. I think there's bigger things going on than to try a

If it's an MS contract then that's all you will get, beyond the benefits package they offer. M$ used to have the policy of using permanent contractors but was forced by a court case to redefine any contractor that was on a contract that lasted longer than one year as a permanent employee, with all

It's actually a 1 yr contact position through Volt, a placement firm.  I was interviewed by the guys I would be working with.  It seems very relaxed. There is a strong possibility that I would be hired on afterward for good performance. - Matt Small - Original Message -   From: Deanna Sc

Microsoft is trying to get Windows Media (and, naturally, Windows Media Server) to take the lead in protected video content for internet-based VOD.  Disney just inked a deal with MS for this very thing: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5155333.html I'd say go for it.  You'll be on top of every

Well from what I've read, once you toe the Microsoft line you're set for life. They pay their staff very well and take care of their people. You also get stock options etc. I think. But it's definitely Corporate America you'd be dealing with. I don't know about job security etc. in those scen
