Seriously? I have read them in exactly that order. In comparison with Speaker for the Dead, the Ender's Game seems little childish...

I feel, that the same can be achieved with any shape.
There is one huge difference between prison and startup - alternatives you have.

When you are in prison all you can have, if you don't try to escape is a miserable life till the end of your days. On the other hand - after ten years of hard work you can get free. It gives you really big motivation - negative motivation is usually greater than positive.

With startup you have choice between pretty good life (if you are a programmer you can find really nice job) and great success. Motivation is rather small comparing to prison situation.

Having said all this - author still is right - you need to have fun from journey, not only from target.

Re:Fancy Input - CSS3 text typing effects for input fields on Wednesday February 27, 2013 @01:04PM (#5293808)
Tried it on Chrome. Non-english characters look awful - fonts are mess, typing effects work randomly. Sometimes all I'm typing is invisible. For me it's unusable.
