I wonder if Cyanogen has any interest in Nook rooting. He's the best right now.
Cyanogen IS the best!

I never experienced silence. I've had tinnitus since I was very young (I remember telling my parents that I had an "ear ring"). So even using noise canceling headphones doesn't cut out all sound. I hear beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep 24x7.
I use music when I'm working at times (not often) to cut out on all the conversation going on around me. Familiar music that I know the words to really seem to help with productivity. I get a bit more animated and even seem to be more accurate while typing
I'm a unix admin but I also do a lot of programming and scripting.

I have tinnitus too. I agree that it is unreasonable to expect workers to deal with all the distractions in an office. To me, that includes the ringing in my own ears.
