- cafard 11y agoIsn't there an old Dilbert about this?
- benaston 11y agoWho says gender inequality doesn't have consequences?
- alexivanovs 11y agoBut will it blend?

- 72deluxe 11y agoReminds me of that IT Crowd episode. "Cavort!"
- sspross 11y agoOT: I'm wondering what that big screen in the back of the header video on their company website is for and how it works. http://reaktor.com/ http://reaktor.com/
- larry_pi 11y agoIt's a huge multi-user touchscreen. Nasdaq's got one as well: http://reaktor.com/work/nasdaq/ http://reaktor.com/work/nasdaq/ We (I work at Reaktor) use it to keep tabs on our projects and see who's doing what: http://multitouch.reaktor.com/visual-asset-management-tool http://multitouch.reaktor.com/visual-asset-management-tool The actual screen is built by Multitaction (http://www.multitaction.com/ http://www.multitaction.com/) and Reaktor creates custom software for it.
- sspross 11y agonice, thx larry!
- merpnderp 11y agoI saw this and was a bit sad "100% of the profits (post-shipping, post-tax)" Does Finland tax charitable donations? Seems like governments would want to encourage things like giving money to help kids with cancer.
- dagw 11y agoIf you're selling something, there's VAT on it.
- edward 11y agoThe Economist argues that it makes sense to tax charitable donations: http://www.economist.com/node/21556570 http://www.economist.com/node/21556570
- merpnderp 11y ago"The idea that the state should subsidise giving to good causes..." Their argument starts with the idea that letting people keep their own money is a subsidy, and that giving to charity is a form of personal consumption. Those are non-starting opinions for lots of people, including me. The government works for the people and taxes are the only equitable way for it to generate income. And giving away to charity is the exact opposite of personal consumption, since a person is helping society, not themselves, in ways they find most meaningful. Ugh, just turns my stomach "gives the wealthiest taxpayers a disproportionate role in allocating public resources." A person's income is not a public resource, it's their income, which we vote to tax a portion of.
- mikerichards 11y agoYeah, that's the way the statist, collectivist mind works. It's pretty sickening and I consider those with that mentality enemies.

- shiraabel 11y agoWhen the rowing team at Oxford does this they post the pictures on the website.
- fbbbbb 11y agoLet's admit it, we just want to see the pictures and compare them to ourselves.
- vijayr 11y agomindlessly clicked, so my fault, but NSFW tag would be nice
- asdf_asdf_ 11y agoThis link is quite safe, actually.
- oliwarner 11y agoIt would have been nice —having noticed your mindlessness after clicking— that you not mindlessly comment too. If you work at the sort of place where a "bit of knee" isn't tolerated, I think you need to stop working in the Victorian times. If you're just worried about the words, "without clothes" is in the title here. That should be enough for anybody infer that there might at least be discussion about nudity.
- metafunctor 11y agoBare skin is SFW in most of Europe. NSFW is an American invention.
- hias 11y agoAre only male coders included or female as well?
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- sriram_malhar 11y agoRebol with a cause.
- timbuckley 11y agoOK, but really, who is going to buy this? Reddit did something similar and it was a disaster.
- exodust 11y agoLook how the light catches the delicate pubic hairs. The skin dry from too much air-con and not enough moisturiser. "I want a naked coder calendar" said nobody ever. A better idea would have been to photograph coders at their messy workspaces, or portraits of coders taken immediately after resolving a tricky bug. Or just something that won't scare little kids.
- swagv 11y agoStole it from the Dice ads all over town
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- stefantalpalaru 11y ago> for a good cause Right, because there's such a big market for calendars with naked coders. You totally don't have to guilt-trip people into buying them with some leukemia sap story.
