Comment Re:But why? (Score 1) 110

Except the clothing is intended to be worn on people, so how can you judge if it will actually look good if you design it for aliens? It's like car designers intentionally doing all their drawings such that only 3' midgets can use the car or furniture designers intentionally drawing things out of proportion to the human form. The purpose of sketches is to develop and test ideas before a prototype is made, but if you have to completely rework the proportions between sketching and prototyping then the sketch is worthless for the purpose of judging the aesthetic appeal of the design. It is like the entire fashion industry is in denial about what medium they working in.

A comment well deserving of a beer. Lets not also forget the intended purpose of a space suit. Their needs to be room for tubing for Air, cables to check vitals and ports to connect into other systems I am certainly not aware of. There is a reason why space suits look the way they do now. Watch the end product look just like the current model but with a pink sash over it.

If you read Graff's comment below his response says it all in the last line. Basically he/she has not need for a jail-broken device therefore cannot appreciate why others do. It is an unfortunate stance to take but so many people are in the same boat. If I recall correctly Apple when they were 1st making their attempt at re-entering the market in a big way released a version of the macbook that had an auto shut off shock censor in the HDD. There was a hacker who modded the laptop to have the screen turn with the laptop as it was rotated using those censors. Steve Jobs reverted back to his original days in the garage if but for only a few minutes in the press conference and said how much he loved this innovation. Apple took (bought) it and this innovation is now a staple in most Apple devices. Almost immediately after that I remember Apple pulling a 180 on community innovation such as the screen mod. I see this story as no different.
