       Yep, and if you've got enough government officials in your pocket
  you just might be able to get away with it.  
  
       But I have a feeling they're going to have trouble pulling this
  off too.  The way it's aimed specifically at the computer professional
  shows it for what it is, a blantant attempt to get around the same
  overtime laws that almost every other employer has to abide by.  I'm
  just glad it's being reported, because this kind of thing can't stand
  the light of day for very long.
