As the URL says:

The town of Bozeman Montana wants job applicants to disclose not just user id's even, but passwords for networking and email.

Would you apply for a job that said that?

History of Telephones

"I remember before they had electric phones they had steam-powered phones. You had to fire them up and get a head of steam up before you could make a phone call

And then before that they had tin cans with wires strung all over the city. It would go to a central switching office. The lady would tie two wires together and crank and talk.

You tell young people today that they won't believe you."

a voice mail from vakratunda who surely is old enough to remember this clearly :)
on the other hand, I'm young enough that I'm not sure I believe him ;)

Though I have seen pictures of central switching offices and steampunks would steam power anything.
