Kickstarter's spirit isn't about profit, it's about enabling an person's passion project to become a reality. The tone of the post strikes me as odd.

1. 15 days for a major company not nearly enough to remedy this issue.
2. The activity log reads like a ransom timeline. This isn't some l33t hacker exploit it's simple session hijack and mac spoof. You're not owed anything for finding this.
Anyone that tries this could tread carefully. If you get caught (chances are slim), it wouldn't be hard to convince a jury that you're hacking an airborne plane's network.
<fun hearted bit of sarcasm> Did you know a bathroom lock is woefully insecure!?! Time to hold the government ransom about this exploit and collect my millions. If they don't pay, I'll post it on the internet. </sarcasm>

Since when it is alright to tell teachers how to do their job in bullet pointed letters?
* Be an adult and talk about any issues, complements or concerns during the class.
* Talk with them in person or on the phone.
* If you wish, post to your blog after the issues have been resolved. To put a global context on the situation should be supported with evidence as it pertains to life as a women in the IT industry. (See what I'm doing here with the bullet points?)
Parents theses days...
--edit-- As I'm reading some of the responses to my post, I have to ask, what pillow soft existence did many of you grow up with? Kids (and people) say terrible things. This isn't the sign of a bad teacher, it's an opportunity for this blogger to prepare her kids (Not just the girls) for the real full-contact brutal reality known is the the real working world. Life gets waaaay harder than this.

I don't get why are so offended that another store is similar to one they like. It's just an electronics retailer.

Personally, I've grown bored with the apple store and don't have a reason to visit any longer (Same old inventory and experience for years). Now, the MS & Sony stores had several things that I haven't seen in retail stores before (3d binoculars, high end cameras etc..) and was very engaging. If I had a need for what they were selling (and wasn't such a amazon fanatic), I'd have no problem dropping in. I think this is a good trend.
The Mac fans are being a little too precious, IMHO.
bangbang | 13 years ago | on: Makerbot CEO: Let's try that again
If you're a person targeted in his manifesto, I'd suspect you'd no longer want to work alongside him. That's reason enough to fire him on the spot. He's creating a hostile work environment via coworkers and media.
For those that doubt it, I say try it at your job and see what comes of it.
Honestly, what did he think would happen?
