On a similar note, the "Job Center" of AdaHome and the "Job Bank" on the
SIGAda page are equally inactive (the latter has not had a new posting
since March!).  Where are those companies who are "desperately seeking
Ada" developers?

As for shuffling, I've seen a page which lists alphabetically, but
rotates which letter it starts with (e.g., one day it lists P-Z, A-O;
the next day R-Z, A-P; etc)..
