Multicolored Keyless Entry System

mollyhackit writes "Here's a how-to guide for building a keyless entry that uses color identification instead of numbers. All eight buttons are initially blue; as you press the individual buttons they change color. Cycle the colors to your particular pattern, and you're in. This lock obviously wasn't designed for high security use since anyone in the same room would be able to see you and your amazing technicolor dream lock's pattern; it's just a fun project and will keep the youngins out of your workshop (timer prevents brute forcing). The RGB buttons are monome clones from hobby shop Sparkfun."

    Marxism has now confirmed: Capitalism is dying.

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered bourgeoisie when
    Das Kapital confirmed that the rate of profit tends to fall
    leading to crisis, war and the ultimate destruction of the capitalism
    system. Coming on the heels of the latest economic data showing that
    the US is entering a deep recession, this news serves to reinforce
    what we've know all along. Capitalism is collapsing in complete disarray,
    as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin
    comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Lenin to predict capitalism's future. The hand
    writing is on the wall: capitalism faces a bleak future. In fact there
    won't be any future at for capitalism because capitalism is dying. Things
    are looking very bad for capitalism. As many of us are already aware
    surplus value (S) is redistributed among individual capitals by
    competition leading to an average rate of profit (r) relative to the
    organic composition of capital. In order to improve their position
    individual capitalism must increase their production of surplus value;
    either by increasing the length of working day, but this has
    physiological limits or by increasing the constant capital used but
    this leads to a fall in the average rate of profit.
    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Capitalist leader George W Bush states that there 7000 capitalists.
    How about members of the proletariat are there? Let's see. The number
    of proletariats in America is roughly 200 million. Therefore
    there are about 100000 workers which for each person with an
    interest in capitalism. A recent article put the petty bourgeoisie at
    a rapidly declining proportion of the population. This is consistent
    with the predictions of the communist manifesto.

    Due to the troubles of British imperialism, two world wars and so on,
    European capitalism went out of business and was taken over by Yankee
    imperialism who were also in trouble. Now US imperialism is also dead,
    its venality and corruption exposed by its own creation, radical
    Islam.

    All major surveys show that capitalism has steadily declined in credibility.
    Capitalism is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very
    dim. If capitalism is to survive at all it will be as a fascist
    dictatorship. Capitalism continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could
    save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, capitalism is
    dead.
