I was a gamer back when the NES was in its heyday. Then the SNES came out with controllers that had a hundred and dickety-two buttons, and suddenly I turned into Grandpa Simpson overnight.
I heard a rumor that Wii was going to support original NES games. If true, this could lead me to buy my first console since I was in high school. Unfortunately, the official Wii site doesn't address this at all. That's probably a bad sign, but still I hold out hope. Has anyone else heard this, or can anyone else corroborate the story?
If your employment terms state that all your code are belong to them, then contributing anonymously violates the terms of your employment. If you're caught, don't be surprised to find yourself on the street.
I agree that those terms are onerous, but from a company's point of view they don't have any way to verify which code you wrote on their time with their resources, and which code you wrote on your time with your resources.
It sounds like you're already looking for a new job. That's probably the best answer.
