half my resume used to be made up jobs. I used to use the names of defunct Start-ups during the dot-com bomb. Of course they couldn't be verified since they no longer existed. Luckily in the past few years I've gotten some actualy experience and wiened the lies off of my resume.
Its standard. I shit you not. My Mom who is now a lower court Judge learned Word Perfect back in her early...um...lawyering days in a big firm in New York. They literally sent all their employees to learn WP, because they believed it would be the defacto standard and so it became the standard, with lawyers at least. My Mom still uses WP 8.
Here's the problem with your arguement. During the same period piracy was also pretty substantial in US and European markets, but nothing compared to China. MS did make a stink about that which eventually led to the current windows XP registration scheme. No effort was made to address Chinese piracy though. And there's an interveiw somewhere where an MS exec pretty much admits to this.
Secondly I never said MS condoned piracy. They simply let it slide because they knew they needed to get a hold on the market in preperation for the time when Chinese users could actually pay.
You may be right about them condoning infanticide however, got to keep them blood sacrifices coming...
Not neccisarily. During the 90's MS knew that software priacy in China (real copy/sell piracy not ??AA piracy...)was big in China, but they let it happen because they the Chinese would get 'hooked' and MS products and then MS could really turn the screws and milk them. Drug dealer tactics. The first one is always free.

I can believe it. Bruce Sterling wrote a book like this. When three companies wind up owning the US software market, China will just jump in. Who's going to stop them?
You're last bullet point was against "statements", if not for that I would recommend Ursula LeGuin, but she does get political at times. Octavia Butler is also good, but I confess I haven't read much of her work.
Butler isn't heavy on tech, but she is on statements. That what I like about her work. She's generally not as heavy handed as someone like Hienlein or LeGuin though. So she may pass muster for you. If you want to try her out I'd recommend 'Wild Seed', or 'Dawn' the first in the Xenogenesis trilogy of books. Avoid the two currently available Eathseed books however, unless you become a fan, they're a bit preachy.
not really, the test is useless if your response when you're being truthful is exactly the same as your response when you lie.
everything I've read on the subject leads me to belive the only reason the work as much as they do (60% give or take) is because those people believe that the detector CAN tell if they're lying. Hence, if you know how the system works or you're a sociopath or delusional, the polygraph is useless on you.
