One time I went to an all-you-can eat Sushi restaurant and ate a bunch of 'White Tuna'... Later that day I took a dump... and noticed oily stuff in the toiled. Ended up farting oil for next two days. Felt like Exxon Valdez.

Yes, I am in IT and you/your company may be an exception (kudos).
Does your company have clear ethical guidelines and a procurement department which manages the vendor selection process?
Do you accept lunches/gifts from vendors? Have these ever affected your decision? How can you be certain?

IT Managers have been spending like drunken sailors. It's quite appalling that policies and strategy of most corporate IT shops are dictated by hardware and software vendors who cozy up to the management and staff through gifts, golf games and lunches.
Old hardware is thrown out instead of re-used, and nine times out of ten more powerful (and expensive) hardware/solution is chosen. It's time for IT to tighten the belt and re-direct some of the money lining vendors' pockets to some old fashioned internal R & D.
Cities Tampering With Traffic Lights To Generate Revenue 736
Techdirt is reporting that there has been a rash of reports indicating that red light cameras are being used to generate revenue rather than to promote safety. "Time and time again studies have shown that if cities really wanted to make traffic crossings safer there's a very simple way to do so: increase the length of the yellow light and make sure there's a pause before the cross traffic light turns green (this is done in some places, but not in many others). Tragically, it looks like some cities are doing the opposite! Jeff Nolan points out that six US cities have been caught decreasing the length of the yellow light below the legal limits in an effort to catch more drivers running red lights and [increase] revenue."
