(GadgetBox)   It is an open question whether or not the chicks dig an automated dorm room. The university's administration, on the other hand, is definitely not getting all moist about the idea   (gadgetbox.msnbc.msn.com) divider line 32

I watched that video and I can assure you that chicks will not dig the "automated" dorm room.

Why is "automated" in quotation marks?

You dont create an automated dorm room so that chicks will dig you. You create it to make them leave afterwards.

What is the problem? he didn't trash the place.

When I was a wee college student (wayyyy back in the early 90's) living in the dorms, small bookshelf speakers at all 4 corners of my bed and the Devo EZ Listening Disc were all I needed. Chicks had no farking clue they were grinding their hips to the beat of Girl U Want, Whip It, and Shout.

FTFA: It took me the most time to get the voice recognition to work.

So it took him a week to figure out that he needed to change the code to say "BLAD, Wights on"?

"here at XYZ college, with our liberal policies, we encourage our students to explore ideas and let their imagination run wild. We like to think we are a breeding ground for innovation, progress, and home to the future inventors of the world.... What??? One of them did something different and showed independent thought without prior approval from all 14 levels of administration???? get rid of him!!!"

Well, that and getting it to understand what he wanted done when he said "LESLIE"

Actually, I'm curious about his supposed violations. Judging from the videos he didn't do any permanent modification to the dorm room.

Fano: Actually, I'm curious about his supposed violations. Judging from the videos he didn't do any permanent modification to the dorm room.

Yeah, it all looks pretty basic and non-permanent. He may have wired some of the X-10 stuff inside one of the outlets or light switches, which I bet would violate some college resident code.

Never mind some of these kids are working with nuclear reactors on campus, just don't farking let one of them attempt to rewire an outlet in an all concrete dorm building.

my college got kindda pissed when i put a hot tub in my room.

I like the part where he talks about "moving to my own apartment", because landlords are so much happier to have their tenants tinker with the electrical system in their buildings.

Its Berkeley. Automation is bad for unions.

When I went to college and lived in a dorm I lived in a building that was coed by floor. The year I went there they switched which floors were guys/girls. My dorm room was pink, and being a guy that was kind of annoying. I wanted to paint it white, but that wasn't allowed. At least they supplied the paint and so forth, so hospital gray it was....

I'm totally blind so I can't watch the video so could someone tell me how this is different in the eyes of the administration than, say, a Clapper, or a security timer, or any other basic hardware store item that turns lights on and off?

I don't understand why people would pay 1600$ a month to live in a concrete cell with no private bathroom and all of your neighbours are drug dealers and alcoholics. Because in the "real world", that shiat would not fly......except in a trailer park, I guess. At least a trailer is cheaper.
 
2012-05-04 11:11:26 AM
Wow, that was automated? A series of timers and remotes and motion sensors, very high tech....

That would be cheap in NYC, LA or Chicago.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

Cal's own Facebook page was touting this guy and shared the YouTube link. At least somebody with an official capacity appreciates what the guy was doing.

Still not gonna get him laid, though.
