Well, I guess the best offices would split that up so that the people collaborating are in an open area, and those not have offices. For the kind of work I do, though, that kind of open collaborative environment is really critical.

Where I'm at (DOOR3) is very much like that, as is my previous company (NGP VAN). Most of the office is open, but there are individual offices for those who need them. Both companies are very heavily tech oriented (with DOOR3 having a big design department as well) and only a few people that aren't regularly working…

Same here. I live in NYC (Brooklyn, work in FiDi), so there's really no other practical way to do it, unless I could pull off what my coworker did and move next to South Street Seaport five blocks from the office. LOL

Over. I shouldn't have to reach back behind the roll for the loose end. Why would you make it less efficient to use by doing that?

I prefer open workspaces, actually. We don't have any walls at my office except for a few offices (the majority of us are out on the floor). That happens to be perfect for the type of collaborative web development work that we do. I love being able to hear comments and questions from other developers even if they…

I think the cars are just from the in-game "photo shoot" renders he used (read above the last render).

I'd say it's pretty clearly designed to appear like the next evolution of the SR-71, and even the ad copy says "Super Blackbird". They obviously just took the original design and made a fake modernized version of it.

How do you open the doors in a parking garage?

I picked up a Wassily chair from a friend in Ridgewood, Queens for $150. My ex boyfriend had two in Baltimore that he paid over $600 apiece for.

How would that be today's date no matter which way you read it? Is this stale news?

This is a 3D rendering of the bar I met my first boyfriend in (the now defunct In-Between in Virginia Beach, VA), ironically as it appeared when we broke up (not intentional, and previous version was how it appeared when we met). It's approximately a hundred hours worth of work, maybe closer to 150, complete with a…

Eff this - most of these things shouldn't be patent-able by anyone. They're vague concepts at best, not methods of implementation or specific technologies. The USPTO caused all of this bullshit themselves.

You weren't; you just beat me to it. ;-)

Hah! that's awesome.

ROFL, that'd be AWESOME!!! ;-)

I had a problem once that a reset didn't fix (of course that was the first thing I tried), but doing a reset while plugged in did fix it. They should probably ad that suggestion to the prompt.

It ate something so big it's farting x-rays. ;-)

ROFL, how'd I know I'd get a Romney reference in this thread? ;-)

I'm gonna say one thing - God help them if I get on that pool table. ;-)

Am I the only one reminded of "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."? ;-)
