This is almost certainly inappropriate for net.jobs, but I just
can't resist taking cheap shots!  What EDS employees like or
dislike about simple discussions on information about their
company is irrelevent to whether the discussion occurs or not.
Now my curiosity is raised and I have a few questions about EDS:

1.  Isn't EDS the acronym for Electronic Data Systems, a company
originally headquartered in Dallas?
2.  Isn't EDS started, run, own by H. Ross Peirot, someone I
remember as an extreme political conservative?  Isn't EDS the same
company whose employees were rescued by EDS during the turmoil of
the Iranian revolution?
3.  Hasn't EDS been recently acquired by General Motors (in some
form) to do their MAP (manufacturing automation protocol)
implementation after GM could find no satisfactory contractors?

Flames, especially those from self-righteous EDS employees, to
/dev/null.
