I'm not sure I follow exactly what point you are trying to make. Are you saying that men should should go against their lifelong conditioning to better allow women to work in the office environment? But wouldn't this create the same problem as the current situation, simply with the roles reversed?
Well, if it really did work out like the bell curve, a majority of the population would be about average, or within one std deviation of average. In fact, Only 15.8% of the population would fall into the short bus if you limited it to one std dev below the average. I don't really see that as crowded...
But the fact of it is, facebook has been pretty successful so far without having a more open scheme. If your friends really want to share stuff with you online with the convience of you not having to sign up for anything, they can grab a MySpace (or any other social networking service that allows anon access) and share there. Just saying Facebook needs to open up because doesn't really make for a great argument. I would agree with you, if there weren't currently other sites that allow this, but there are.
After reading the article, it really looks like it's just this guy whining about being really lazy.
Therein lies the rub. When entering data into Facebook, you're sending it on a one-way trip. Want to show somebody a video or a picture you posted to your profile? Unless they also have an account, they can't see it. Your pictures, videos and everything else is stranded in a walled garden, cut off from the rest of the web.
Honestly, how hard is it to sign up for a facebook account now. You don't even need a school email, just an email. Everyone could have access if they wanted to, in about 5 minutes.
Right, because we should only speak out about something we think looks a bit fishy when we have proof that it is fishy. I don't have to have proof to say that it looks wrong when the Director of the Board of Directors of a company leaves, obtains a powerful position somewhere else, and then strong arms his old company in. It just looks wrong.
As a practical joke, take a picture from the eye sensing camera's POV with someone in the drivers seat and eyes closed, then tape it over the camera eyehole. Constantly cinching seatbelt!
Because no one leaves the Board of a Directors of a company that they think is going to be successful and does a HUGE favor like this, and receives nothing in the end. Since they are not a publicly traded company, their financials don't have to be disclosed either, so no one has any way of verifying this without some sort of official investigation. Even without direct proof, it is still a huge conflict of interest in mine, and many other people's opinions.
That's fine, but what is not fine is him making decisions in a position of power at IU that have a direct financial effect on a company he still likely receives payment in some form from. That is about as close to conflict of interest as you can get.
No, that doesn't suffice for me, and I'm willing to bet all the other/.'ers that are belittling this company. They have no signs that tell you that they are working on this new bad ass searching technology, and try to get people to focus on this gimmick of "guided" searches. In the mean time, they are simply copying google's format, and even worse, deceptively placing sponsored ads in the results.
Come drive on Atlanta interstates, and please follow the speed limits. You will be more of a danger to the people around you going 70 miles an hour than everyone else is. For all you know, he is doing the above steps, but in the mean time, does not want to be in danger when driving on the interstates.
Because I assure you he still has some sort of profit-sharing mechanism in place as an Ex-Board of Directors Member. Those people don't just leave and see nothing else from the company, especially when they leave, take a position as the head of a university, and then strong-arm the company he just left from into said university.
I, and the poster you quoted, both travel faster than the posted speed limit on interstates in Atlanta because simply put, it is much more safe to drive 70-75 miles per hour than the posted limit of 55. I honestly feel uncomfortable driving that slow on I85. It is an absolutely ridiculous speed limit on a huge highway.
What exactly is revolutionary about their "vision" of search? They have guided searches? Great, so I can get someone who probably is dumber than I am to search the web for me, and then give the results back to me. Not to mention their non-guided searches have sponsored for money links sprinkled in with the results, only indicated by the "Sponspored by" in front of the URL. To top that bag of shit off, a guy that used to sit on the Board of Directors is using his new position to muscle ChaCha's way into a new area. Talk about conflict of interest.
Second there's no ligitmate reason to put anything in your pockets in a store.
Maybe you only need a few things and don't want to grab a hand cart that has nasty germs on it? Heaven forbid some people are actually honest and pay for what they use.
If you are a student and you buy regular priced software at a regular software store, you fail as a student. There are usually many other options to follow through with, not limited to MSDN-AA, student priced software, software store through your school, and lab computers.
Except, in the case of Blizzard, they still do ship games with flaws and bugs in them. People just gobble the shit up because there isn't something else coming along that is better right now.

I'd rather the sales people be licensed first personally...

I wasn't aware almost everyone in the world had internet access....

The strong language doesn't detract from the truthiness of his statement.

You meant camera, not camcorder, right?
So have the policeman look at it? I mean, they are there for a reason, right?

Maybe you haven't been to some of our illustrious colleges here, but a lot of them do produce backwater rednecks.
Heaven forbid he is a student or kid in high school...
