Work Surfers Rejoice
A judge ruled in favor of an employee who was fired for surfing the net at work.

The judge equated internet usage as equivalent to reading the paper or making personal calls and said that if it didn't affect the employee's job performance, he shouldn't be fired. A reprimand was a more appropriate punishment, the judge said.

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."
