If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend Judge's 2009 movie 'Extract' with Jason Bateman of Arrested Development. It sort of inverts the Office Space formula and shows the sometimes taxing, even soul-crushing nature of entrepreneurship. I

Maybe not subsections, but allow users to create and up-vote tags on stories, or maybe have a simple dropdown on story submission with a dozen or so tags the submitter could apply. That way you could still narrow your focus when you don't w

Well, yes and no. You may know that the market wants your product, but the exact feature set and usability requirements are probably still a mystery, and will almost certainly need to be refined anyway after launch no matter how long you pr

I was particularly surprised to see how aggressive the TV campaign was. I've seen these all over. They're really running with this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WIluNt0mvA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_6bSCW_UI0 Not surpri

We should really try and crowd-fund a melt-bot to Enceladus or Europa, or a boat-bot to Titan. They're being criminally ignored by the various space agencies, and all have the potential to host life. See my comment above.

Jesus, I'm all for sending out as many missions as Congress will pay for, but another Mars rover? Can't they throw a little bit of money towards sending a melt-bot to Europa or Enceladus, or a boat-bot to Titan already? It'll be 2015 before

Well, obviously all PCs are Steamboxes, technically speaking. However, if it's a streamlined box that plugs right into a television and boots right to steam, I could maybe see them putting up a stink, even if the branding was sufficiently

I think they'll use Martian soil. That's what Elon was planning, and other commenters below speak to its practicality.

My impression was that Curiosity's sensors have shown that the presumed danger of Martian radiation has been greatly overestimated. Unfortunately, I can't remember the sources, but I've read it in multiple places.

Would it be legal for someone to manufacture and sell 3rd party Steamboxes, if Valve has no immediate plans to do so? It seems like somebody like Alienware, or even just somebody on Kickstarter, could put together something impressive at a
