So what happens when your lock requires holding the door with pressure to have the bolt slide freely? Does it just not lock, or does it tell you it won't lock?

If the poster is of that company, you can do a quick google search for "rule the interwebz" and it shows the web address at the bottom of the poster.

I agree with taking up a lawsuit. He is a racist dick.

On that same note, don't bring yourself to his level and start throwing out racist slurs too. Your words are public domain now, and if they get a lawyer with any sense, they might find a defense in your offense.

kick his teeth in in court though! (figuratively of course)

but what about Engineers?

Oh, and can you make a zombie setup? I would totally pay for a mini-zombie-me

Would it be possible to make two sizes? I could see some mom buying a whole family. Followup could be pets. Maybe make some car decals that follow the same realm as the stickers you see on soccer mom vans

pepakura nightmares!!!!!

They just needed a placeholder to send it to and I would assume they would send it there to reduce any possible strain on their servers.

Why not send it there is the question on my mind.

My thoughts are that a logical change will be a smartphone that without peripherals will be just what a smartphone is today. I also think that we will have a "station" that is a monitor, keyboard, and mouse that all wirelessly connect to the portable device when it is in the near vicinity and is turned to "computer mode". All the extra data storage that towers have will be wirelessly linked in a base home server that sits on the desk next to the other peripherals.

I love a desktop because it is a stationary place I can always count on, but as soon as that becomes more easily replaced and can still run games and media editing at the same scale, I will keep my desktop

I definitely agree with your view that there aren't enough women in the field, but starting an article, where most of your readers are going to be men, by saying you threw a temper tantrum because a venue swapped the bathrooms to benefit men is inviting readers to disagree with you before you even started making your point.

I read the first part and immediately thought how immature you were, then I read more, and being more open-minded I read over your point, swallowed my previous thought and agreed. Not everyone will do that.

I agree we need more women representation, I disagree with the manner the article was written.

You do realize that there will always be an initial conflict when introducing a new system. I am fairly fresh out of college, and where I went to school (now over 20,000 students) all of what used to be streets in the middle of campus are for pedestrian traffic only. We all got along just fine with bikes being everywhere. Look at Stanford and Boulder, two very bike friendly places.

As far as helmets are concerned, I rode for my college road team, and I wore a helmet every time I touched the pedals for training and racing. We went very fast, and the competitions justified it. When I rode my beater bike to class I never wore a helmet. I was just fine.

A major reason people don't want to ride bikes to work when a helmet is required is really cosmetic, because they don't want to screw up their hair! Have you met a girl who wakes up and gets ready for work then says, "oh yeah let me mess up my hair on the way to work"? I am a dude, and If I had the option to ride A bike to work, I might not just because I need to look professional.

If Jobs were there, they wouldn't have release the phone with maps. What they should have done is put both maps and google maps on at the same time and have a switch off date for google.

I enjoy the bucket metaphor. You can't get more water out than you put in, and there will always be loss in-between. I will definitely be looking through these glasses for the rest of the day. Maybe I will learn something new, so thank you.

They are private schools. They have a right to admit who they want for whatever reason they want. It sucks, but it is true.

When the price drops to a normal level I will pick some up for long term holdings, not because I want profit as much as I like the way Zuck thinks and reacts.

I do something else

Mutating Algorithms?

I agree except for the mechanics of input. It needs to be controllable input, and because we can't "control" our heartbeat or how much we sweat, how could we precisely input into the system?

Some great insight, and a good read. I especially enjoyed the Pokemon Red referencing.

Maybe it is just the timing of being in our 20s then?

I am gen Y and I freely admit that I do more work in a 'designated working environment'. I hate monotonous work, and it has led me to building scripts etc to do the boring work for me. Our strength comes from that desire to not be bored, so we come up with creative solutions to bypass them. If a company can't bend to that mentality, and we aren't completely financially stuck with having to work, we will quit for a place that does.

I can definitely agree with this article, especially since it echos my thoughts about work at 24 years old. The only unfortunate side of the story comes from the people in my age group who will not step up and do the work that comes with the additional freedom. I have seen those kids, and I despise them. I have also seen the young men and women who put forth the effort, and I am hopeful for the future.

I just keep my mouth shut and do everything while they all finally figure out what I knew, I have the solution done a lot faster, and I look better for it. There is no need to and try to be bossy and push someone into an answer if they aren't ready. Just have the solution done for when they realise it.

I ran through the whole system, and I noticed that If I use the sliders in the info-graphic to change the down payment, it doesn't update that value in the "How Much House Can I Afford" Down payment text box. Is there a backwards refresh in the system?

Also, I didn't notice a "reset" button. Any thoughts?

If you ask a kid to clean his room, he will never do it because to him it takes too much energy, when it would only take 10 minutes. It is all in the eye of the beholder and it is up to you to let yourself perceive the "energy".

I agree with you, but can you elaborate more on the perception of "energy". Just my thoughts.

Very true. To me this glamour industry is a self fulfiling bubble, just like fashion, in that they are their own ritics, and they give themselves an "A" every time. I was just trying to point out that although what we are seeing might not be what entrepreneurship is really about, it is still good none the less. Any media attention is good as long as you know how to redirect it in your favor.

It's like those Apple commercials from the start of the Olympics. They were horrible, but people were talking about them longer than they were on, which just keeps Apple in everyone's minds.

Crappy commercial = good media attention. Over the top ambitious startup = good media attention.

So, startup culture is akin to hipsters? Overley grandiose idealisms, It makes sense. Then again, it isn't bad that people are dreaming, but there needs to be substance to their claims other than just "my [insert app] is going to change the world because of [xyz reason]."

I think that is what is trying to be said, but...

There seems to be too much passion in this article to have it be clearly thought out.

I believe that, yes there might be a little more peacocking than is necessary, but discounting the crazy ambitious dreams is asking for nothign to happen. If anything, it is wonderful that the spirit of entrepreneurship is being given the spotlight to help inspire everyone else to start something, even if it is a little less ambitious.

Thanks for the succinct bit of observation! It is something that no one really picks up on, but when you are told about it all you can think is "huh, that really makes sense". For that I thank you. I am going to go really ask someone how their day is going. =)

I can see where this would be effective. The question is whether you can convince a company to believe the hype, pay money up front, and put in extra effort at the end to recoup that money if the goals aren't met.

To anyone who isn't open to new ideas it is hard to invest in ideas like this because they would be automatically labeled as a pipe dream.
