Seriously. As soon as you try to negotiate or assert your position, the overwhelming chances are they will balk or claim your employment contract grants them rights to your work. It's much easier to talk to a lawyer now who knows the circumstances unique to your location and can advise you hat your chances are.

Don't forget, you can also 'donate' it to your job and position yourself as the good guy, which might help you out down the line, depending on your bosses and the company. Not to mention, it's also a nice thing to put on your resume that will look great at the next interview you go to.

Ok, can you tell I watch the Disney Channel with my toddler?? My first thought was "Wobble Goggles" from the Imagination Movers! :-)

But you pointed out facts that they don't like, hence you're guilty of troll-like behavior.

Kinda like what happens to the scientists who question the whole global cooling->global warming->climate change (what will be next?) hypothesis.

Sure, why not?

There are trillions of dollars at stake in the global green economy and it would be pollyannaish to think there aren't people, corporations, not-for-profits, governments, etc that aren't looking at ways to make that pay off for themselves.

The focus of the corrupting influence would probably be on the science that causes the new regulations to be written and on the bureaucrats that actually implement the regulations.

I'm not sure what the non-profit/governmental/academic status has to do with anything? Any group can have its own motivations or prejudices. Just because that group is non-profit/governmental/academic doesn't mean it isn't looking out for its own interests or for a larger agenda.

I think you should ask your developers. Some mixes of developers I've worked with would have been great in a close seating arrangement and others would have driven me straight up the wall.

Also, if you're going to have them facing each other, make sure the monitors are adjustable; I worked with a guy who had a pretty bad facial tick and if that guy had been in my line of sight, I would have been pretty much useless as I waited for the next spasm to show up!
