Find a book called "Big Secrets". It's got recipes for coke, kfc, etc.and a whole chapter on polygraphy: the whole sordid story.
I loaned it to a friend that was really worried about a mandatory polygraph for job. When the interview started _exactly_ as described in the book she almost broke out laughing. Aced the test, took the job.
There was a similar flap years ago between Chrissie Hinds (of the Pretenders) and Rush Limbaugh, who was using her song "Back to Ohio" as his opening and bump music. Thing is, Limbaugh paid the ASCAP and other associated licensing fees, so Hinds was basically told to bugger off (numerous times, and publicly on his show). I think she tried to sue, but discovered that she really couldn't do a damned thing about it.
It was Chrissie Hynde's song with The Pretenders "My City Was Gone" that Limbaugh had been using without licensing or permission for several years. She demanded he stop, he did. She relented when he agreed to give PETA $100,000.
Amazing: you managed to create four factual errors and three spelling errors in one post. You're ready to run in a republican primary.
I was in IBM's Toronto lab buildings last year - amazing: five buildings, each five stories, linked with hallways, and all are fully grounded faraday cages. No cell, am, fm, tv, nothing. They're a bit picky about security, it seems.
There are designated areas you can go where cellphones will work. Apparently, the "shadow" of the structure also blocks signals, so you have to get relatively far away from the building or stand in one of the "holes" that have been identified.
Nice cafeteria, by the way.
The same stories were widely distributed by both Computerworld and Infoworld newsletters yesterday to the business IT community - the same managers who are wrestling with idea of trying firefox.
Awfully convenient for microsoft.
For the first time in 16 years in the field I find myself in a union (IBEW). Unbelievable: Since I have to be paid for overtime (call outs are double time) I'm out of here at 5pm, sharp. I've worked 55-75 hour weeks for so long I don't know what to do with myself.. Started working out, dating my spouse, developing non-work software again (shades of college). Guess what? As much seems to get done at this job, just as effectively, as the other work-till-you-drop places. Extra benefit: pointy hair boss' tantrums have limits. Distinct ones. Downside: No recognition for achievement, in bonuses/promotions from boss - but the Corp. actually does give special recognition/awards to poeple who make a difference.. Having worked both ways, I'd really recommend everyone strongly consider what they think they know about unionization.

Now that's an idea: Initiate a KickStarter project to buy out SCO and release EVERYTHING to public domain.

They lost me when they went after Fishkill, New York. And the game is not very good.

The web site is in german.
Amusingly, Google translate the product name to "sound nose".
