This is cute and all but is essentially a reddit level posting.

Google looks like such a cool company to work for. I'm sad I'll never have the skill set to be hired by them.

  "If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments
   saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)"

pg, is it time to update the guidelines? Or at least ask that people read and follow them? This submission and its comments seem to indicate that the illusion is becoming reality. More specifically, there is already a story[0] on Google's datacenter in which one's intellectual curiosity can be gratified. This one is little more than a meme with Google's name on it.

Never say never... If you really want to make it, study a subject in depth, show your skills by working on some good projects, open source or not, and you have good chances.

That's good, if there's a firefight they won't hit anything.

But in the case of an air attack any exposed exhaust vents will require constant guarding.
