http://realitybasedcommunity.net/archive/2008/12/former_cio_sues.php[^] One employee was terminated because they refused to participate in mandatory Scientology study at work, and his boss was terminated for coming to the first employee's defense. I'll be amazed if Diskeeper will be able to get away with, this because employers aren't permitted to exercise religious discrimination. In light of this, I urge everyone using Diskeeper products to find another solution if possible.

They're screwed. Scientology is the state religion in the PRC. :doh:

I wonder if there is another side to the story. But some Scientologists can be very fanatic so that does not surprise me a whole lot.

They're the folks that make disk defragmentation software. At one time, the defragger in Windows was the 'lite' version of their product.

Their software sucks. So, now i can blame that on Scientology too... :-\

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
You know, until I read this, I really wanted to purchase the standard version of their software. Not having to defrag my hard drive ever again sounds just too damn good. Do you know of another company that makes continuously defragmenting software? Yeah, I could Google it, and will; I just thought I'd ask if you have a favorite first.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001I interviewed with them in 1992. I was the wierdest interview in my life. I showed up in their lobby and was told to wait for my interviewer, but in the meantime "please browse the books". The walls of the lobby were laden with racks of Scientology books. I knew nothing about Scientology at the time, so I grabbed one and started browsing it while I waited. It had a hard time stifling my snorts of laughter, for the 15 minutes or so while they kept me waiting, as I "indoctrinated" myself. When I finally got into the interview, it was blatently obvious that they were primarily looking for inductees, and secondarily for technology specialists. I vividly remember the technical interview with a fellow who was very astute and knowledgeble, but obviously wasn't buying into the farce. The technical part of the interview went fine, but then he was cringing as he had to ask me about my philosophical views. I knew he was being coerced into those questions, so I just gave him some vague answers. At the end, although I was well qualified for the job, they turned me down, no doubt because my personality was not at all malleable. I certainly have no regrets. But it certainly was an extraordinary experience. I bought a copy of "Dianetics" afterwards to learn a bit more about it. I read the first chapter and then threw the book away.
