    In reply to Stair Dismount iPhone Game Hands On (Verdict: Sadistic Fun)
    I'm going to have to check it out. Is it the same devs as the original?

    ... also I'm sure you probably just forgot, but a mention of the price and a link the iTunes store would be nice. I wouldn't usually complain, but since that info is usually in these reviews I just wanted to point out the small oversight. Which for the record, it's $2.99 [itunes.apple.com]

    In reply to How a Self-Educated HS Dropout Became the Youngest Manager at Apple
    As an intense autodidact who rarely finds my energy for learning eclectic topics (virtual worlds, electronic music production, procedural texture creation, domestic automation, typography, VHS artifacts, neuroscience, etc.) matched with a likeminded soul — but am exceedingly grateful when I do — this does look like a "wonderful read". I'll check it out further on Amazon.

    James sounds like an exception, so this is definitely not applicable to everyone, but those who can relate (and may feel doubt if they're following the right path) will surely leap up and do *jazz hands* like myself. After all, exceptions are exceptional.

    I give thanx, James and Gizmodo!

    We had a few other young managers without a college degree when we started.

    I was thankful that HP let me design calculators because I had the ability to, even though I had no degree.

    Getting that 'paper' does give you a place and time to develop and learn on your own at the same time.

    And getting my degree later on gave me a place to identify myself with. It's like the 'paper' is a symbol of who I am more than testimony that I'm smart enough to do a job. It's something desirable for emotional reasons, in other words.

    Only way I'd want a gadget case is if it was that fancy-pants new case Apple's using on their iPods for point-of-sale with the card swipe and barcode scanner on it.

    As great as these stories are, I think people seem to forget that the world was a MUCH different place 20-30 years ago. Might I remind you that 10 years ago, similar stories from Google and Yahoo! were from PhD candidate students, not high school dropouts.

    In reply to Check Your Receipts When You Exit Radio Shack
    Considering that the Radio Shack POS can at times be a POS I find it much more likely that the POS just cocked up than someone trying to pull a fast one. I remember one of our capture pads died daily needing to be reset while we moved the ticket to a different POS. It would crash during times that were the most inconvenient such as mobile activations during the signature capture stage. But regardless of that info could you imagine a Radio Shack employee saying; ha, I just made you donate money to a cancer charity. What kind of evil scheme is that? When I worked there last year we did the same thing. I made no extra money and there were no problems other than some people tapping the wrong button on the capture pad.

    Ugh. I don't think reading this would really encourage me to bring up those straight Cs.

    The institutions established by our society might suck, but only those who manage to get through them will ever be in a position to put an end to them.

    @ReconToaster misses garnett :(: I'm adding this to my Amazon wishlist and will pick it up once I finish my degree. I already did one round of drop-out-of-college-and-land-a-professional-career and did well by it, but I need the stupid piece of paper this time.

    In reply to Let's Sing About Safer Sext (NSFW)
    This is why I scour the message boards and porn sites for male genitalia that appears similar to mine. I then store these photos in a special folder, and when someone asks for a pict, I send them one. That way, if it ever comes down to it, the picture evidence won't stand up in court. Besides, once she sees the real thing, she'll be so awestruck, she won't notice the obvious inadequacies the "stunt penis" picts I sent had.

I won't use your name here to protect you anonymity. But rest assured that in real life, Big SteveDave and the Twins are a sight to behold.
