Odd. My company placed just such an ad in the San Jose Mercury within
the past 8 months, and the open positions were neither compiler-related
nor short term.  Judging from the response, I'd say it got printed in
at least a few editions.  Maybe you're looking in the right place, but
not very carefully.

p.s. The position is no longer available.  Sorry.
