at my last company, i just didn't sign. they handed me a stack of things to sign, and i signed it all except the non compete, which i put in my new recruit folder =) they never noticed, and i was clear to do whatever i wanted..
Ahh, the good old days. I used to run a bbs, 95-96 i believe, and it was a blast. I ran TW2002, LORD, and Pimp Wars. Oh man. There were 2 'groups' of bbs's in our town. The good ones (which were all run by high school and college students, mine included) and the shitty ones (the ones run by people 30+). Anywho, the people that hung out on the 4 really popular boards used to have bbs night, every tuesday night we would go to dinner and then go bowling. It was a blast. I really miss those days.
I find it simply amazing that people can honestly think that the Reagan/Bush Sr. years were a Bad Thing(tm). Do you really think that America's current prosperity would be here if it weren't for the groundwork they laid? Sure, Clinton did have to capitalize on many things for it all to come together, but all the groundwork for todays economy was laid in the 80's. Traditionally, I have been a Republican, for I feel that smaller government is a Good Thing(tm), but today I voted for Browne in the presidential election. The other 2 offices which had at least 2 people running for them i voted Republican.
I am one of those semi oldschool folks. I've been on the net since '94 and I really dislike the commercialization of it. I miss the good old days when the internet was a playground and nothing seriously bad ever happened. Server down? oh well, nothing really important on it anyways. The internet used to be all about having fun, now it's about making money. I honestly hope that all of these attacks continue for a long, LONG time. Targetted at commercial sites, leaving sites like Slashdot and Bluesnews alone, because after all, those sites are all about the content, not the money to be made? Anyone who agrees should post their support for the Packet Monkeys to continue. Anyone who has the resources to carry the torch, do it if you agree in the cause. The internet as I knew it is dying, and I don't like it one bit. Zordon "Confucios(sp?) say man who walk through airport sideways going to bangcock."

I hope this is a joke, and I hope i'm not the only one who gets it =)
