Another good point.. Thanks everyone. Your comments are definitely helping. I think I'll retarget a bit. Instead of saying "cheap way to innovate" I'll focus on how it's easy to build fun stuff that people will use and enjoy. I'll still m

I like to think that I'm pretty cool :)

Thanks. I was definitely going to start on the FUN aspects. I love being a hacker because I love building stuff. Hacking just happens to be an easy way to build lots of different things really easily. I'm going to ground most of my talk w

Good point. I'll make the title "N reasons I'm a hacker, and why you should be too" or something like that.

Ah yes. I made a mental note of that, but I'll put it in my real notes.

Computer Science, as a field is very mature, and as a result, very specialized in its research (though I disagree with the idea that core algorithm research is more relevant for the average developer than what you call fads). The best thin

Old media passes rules with the help of the government in order to crush new media outlets. Users of new media outlets mobilize, and there's some temporary resolution. How is that not relevant? Another point worth making is that it seems

I see. So an underpriced offering actually avoids the underwriters holding the stock- since there is obviously demand. I was under the impression that during the dot-com boom, a lot of the underwriter banking organizations were buying their

I might be uninformed here, but don't the underwriters of public share offerings often also hold on to blocks of shares after the offering (completely legally)?

Their cronies (and often the bankers themselves) take large amounts of the IPO shares.

I guess, then, making money at all is unethical too. This is a ridiculous argument.

If they underprice the offering, the price will go up a LOT during public trading on the first day, hence, high actual price for everyday investors and a big payout for the IBankers. So what I'm saying is, if I can get in at a reasonable v

I'm buying, unless they drastically under-price the offering.
