[BC] How standard is THIS?

Hi folks -

  I was considering an opportunity for some part time work while doing about
3 other things...  my wife was looking at the contract while I was away, and
called me in a panic.

"Do you realize that if you work for these people, even part time, every
tool you ever use doing things for them becomes their property?  It says
"including but not limited to computers, hard drives, email accounts" and
she read off a laundry list of other things.

   I wonder how many other companies expect us to be in the business of
donating all our personal equipment?  Buying things on our own dime just to
give them away?

How standard is this, now...?
