Actually, a new study shows that tech types are more like Kid Rock than Doctor Who. IT people are the most likely bunch to talk dirty over a business lunch. In fact, 11% of those surveyed said that they do some of their best networking in strip clubs. A lot of those places have cheap buffets, after all.
