Non-Compete Pacts Called Bad For Tech Innovation
carusoj writes in with NetworkWorld reporting from a panel at Harvard last week.

We didn't call you "unwashed" old chap, if anything the plumbing is the best system in the United States. We called you "uneducated Barbarians" and could also have used "Philistine" as opposed than "Barbarian" to denote you lack of culture and sophistication.
Hope this has cleared up this little matter my good man.
Tisk, tisk, look at the time, I'm late for tea.

PS, we Europeans don't like the French either.
