 I agree with the preceeding response. No employer has any right
 to dictate your life after you have terminated your employment.
 While you are employed by them, they have every right to aim to 
 prevent you from competing with them, and it would be common  to
 keep any discoveries you make as proprietary. Even that last
 clause is hazy-- nobody owns an algorithm.

 Overall, this clause is an infringement upon the freedom of this
 companies' employees.
