[nukkad] HSC 2002 results online

Tip of the day:  It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people 
think that you are a blathering idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.

The results for the Maharashtra HSC exam are online at:
http://mahresult.nic.in/

And now for a rant:
In one of the classic web-design errors, this is a different
address than the one they used last year which was different
than the one used the year before. Sheesh!

Last year's website is now a generic webpage showing the default 
page for Microsoft's server software. They should have re-directed 
the old site to this year's site or at least provided a link to 
the new site.  

Their mis-planning has resulted in hundreds of broken links
and many of confused parents and students. And since I posted
those links to 'nukkad' last year and the year before, the 
archived page (with the broken links) shows up in web searches. 
Since the sites don't work, people email me asking for results.
In most cases, they also send me their seat number, college
name and other details under the assumption that I somehow have
access to the results. 

Hopefully, the State Board and more importantly the National 
Informatics Centre continue using this website next year.
