I THINK AM IN LOVE

[linagee]

You're really awesome for picking that op-amp. :-)

[tsogrady]

Inspiring talk, and thank you for being so real about what if is like to get negative feedback on your work, or getting ripped off. I think life is complicated, and when I hear someone as thoughtful as you talking about your experiences, about the value of community, of giving back to the world, etc., it makes me want to be a better person.

Ladyada, you are great and good! You are smart, generous and you are on the side of the angels! The Free Technology Revolution will take over the World!

Excellent presentation video Limor and indeed great ideals!

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community, which I'm sure many others are thankful for also.

Suffice to say, you rock!

[scompo]

A great woman!

@MrManuelNoriega You're not going to what?? Welcome, mein herr, to the interbutts! "Germany is full of stingy people!" "All miserly people originate from Deutschland!"

See? You don't get to accept or deny anything here. You can only choose to get upset at the words of a person, or not.

To be honest, though, I'm not an expert on the politics of the EU. I am desperately hoping that you're exaggerating about how convoluted it's gotten. I have some happy memories growing up in Germany and I...

[MechanizedFantasy]

@MechanizedFantasy ...would feel terrible if that really is the state of things there now.

[MechanizedFantasy]

Nice talk, LadyAda! I am fascinated by what you guys do! I'm just now getting to college (I'm in my THIRTIES!!!), and I really want to learn how to do all of this. There's so many little electronic tasks that've made me say "Gee, I wish I had a little machine that could do this for me...", and the open-source hardware community seems to be a good place to get that education.

Wow, multi-million?

@MrManuelNoriega Seriously? I believe immediately after her friendly jab she said something along the lines of "It turns out we're actually German too..." Are you just complaining for the sake of complaining? Way to completely ignore the purpose of this video and pluck some negativity out of it. Total fail.
