Make no mistake, the Taliban is a really vile group of people who are as bad as they are made out to be. But also don't make the mistake of thinking that the U.S. government would have cared about them, their treatment of their citizens or Afghanistan in general if it weren't for 9/11.
I worked for a company for a while that was as proud of the fact that it was creating (some) open source software as I was. Then it went under. Not because open source wasn't working for them, but because management spent all of the investors' money on renting halls to have company wide meetings, throwing parties, "business trips" to various places, etc, etc, etc.
Just because a company is wise to open source doesn't mean they're wise to good business practices.
I remember the guy who invented it coming out and saying it wasn't as big a deal as people were making it out to be, and then various news sites got hold of patent applications for a small scooter with pictures of Brady Bunch-era teens riding it. It was all downhill after that.
Your best bet may be to actually... get in touch with people who work there. While I'm not sure of the specifics of your situation, perhaps you could ask people you currently work with if they could put you in touch with people who work where you might. Send them e-mail and ask around. That's really the only way you'll find out what it's like.
Judging from the first episode alone, it seems like the live-action Tick is automatically shooting for an older audience than the cartoon was (for perhaps obvious reasons). Arthur getting drunk, The Tick using the word "bitch," some of Batmanuel's references to Captain Liberty, etc. I always got the feeling from the cartoon that it was aimed at both adults and kids, with some jokes perhaps flying over the kids' heads while the adults would get them (a snake accusing The Tick of not dating much during a wrestling match in The Tick vs. Proto-Clown comes to mind).
Will the live-action series be aimed more at adults and less at younger viewers? I'm not really complaining if that is the case, it just seemed like there was definitely a shift in tone.

It's too bad that all of this is happening and places like SafeWeb are shutting down.
I do recall hearing, however, that recently China began to allow access to cnn.com. Does anyone remember this or know for sure?
But we also gave them $43 million dollars earlier this very year because they banned drugs.
So much for sanctions/condemnation. Keep up the good work, guys.

Inexpensive and wise.
Oh, yes.
