You are not that interesting. Get over yourself.
Also I expect Glass will be a big steaming pile of fail. I can see several technical uses for a device like this. Doing a repair and having the diagram of the device you are repairing visable. Could be useful. How about an Ikea furniture app, that warns you before you put a dowel into a screw hole.
People walking down the street wearing google glass? I doubt I will ever see it.
Perhaps you are on the wrong website. You know, THEY say that there is an exception to every rule (Except rule 34 obviously), perhaps you are that exception.
Lets assume your kid is not an idiot. Since the "gun" has to be printed in pieces, then assembled. Your kid, could print one piece a day before you get home from work for a couple of weeks.
I don't have any kids, but I do have two young nephews, and I have noticed that they can be very devious and single mined when they want to do something without parental consent.
I was just thinking about this:
I live alone in a largeish house (Why does one person need that much space?)
I don't have a TV (Terrorist!!!!)
I have a small Electronics lab (Who knows what he could be making)
I have numerous ham radios (Why would anyone want a big bulky radio when you can just pick up the phone?)
I enjoy taking photographs of unusual subjects (Why would he take a picture of that old car, he must be photographing something behind the car.)
I own several weapons (Terrorists have weapons)
I work on my own vehicles (Could be cover for ANYTHING!?!??)
I have a large black dog (Big dogs are scary, what is he protecting?)
I have large amounts of outdoor equipment (For hiding out after he does whatever he is planning to do?)
If I'd receive such a letter, I'd probably just toss it in the trash, like I do with similar e-mails.
I got a letter a bit like this about a year ago. It was sent regular post, no tracking number, no signature required. Thus no proof I ever received it. I tossed it in the trash. Same thing about a month later. Same response from me. Never heard from them again.
I would not recommend this if you have to sign for the letter, Even if there is a tracking number so they can see it was delivered to your house, there is still no proof you got the letter. Toss it.
Basically, most are bullies trying to make a fast buck. Ignore them and they will most likely go away.
But don't let reality get in the way of your Fan Boi rant...
You know what you call someone a fan boy, you lose all credibility.
But for the record, I believe in using the best tool for the job. In my experience Word is almost never the best tool. The one time that it does beat other tools is when I need to pass around a document, with people making changes. (I think google Docs might be better for this, but company security policy prevents its use.) I have Linux machines, Windows machines, and Macs. How am I a fan boy?
Excel is pretty good. (I didn't know I could say anything nice about a Microsoft product.)
If you walk past my office, and hear me swearing at my computer chances are I am using word. If you hear me saying "Stop fu*king helping me!" then you know for sure.
It has gotten so bad that when i have to write documentation, I do all my writing in something simple like notepad++, then copy and paste into word. do a little formatting, maybe a screenshot or two, save and send. This method makes Word a lot less painful.
I think you might have to accept that you mother is not the norm.
For example, my mother is 67 years old, she has never bought a computer in her life. I have given her all of them.
The only things she uses her laptop for is email, facebook, news, and a couple of games that most of us here would not even consider games. Puzzle, and card games.
No reason that a chromebook couldn't serve her very well. When her secondhand MacBook fails I hope the chromebook is still available. In fact, I may just stick one in a closet until it is needed.
I am sure I will do that too before it gets passed along.
I bought it as a toy, but I decided I would use it as is for a while before I started hacking.
Someone finally figured out that outfitting your security personal in bright red was maybe no the best idea ever. At least that is what I figured for reasoning.
I just bought an Acer C7 a couple of weeks ago.
Light weight, fast enough. Good web browsing experience.
I wouldn't have it as my only computer, but over all I think it will make one heck of a good momputer.
Damn lazy kids these days.
I had to walk a mile and a quarter each way. In the winter I got to take the bus. 10c each way was too expensive for my family to support year round.
People wonder why there are so many obese kids.
You can also just enter crap information.
I have "registered" many a Mac as:

It has bee awhile, but by telling it the correct province, it got the timezone right, and it did at least some sanity checking on the phone number. I think the area code was checked as well.
I really don't have anything to add, but I would love to see the answer to this question.
Although next time don't sugar coat your description of that piece of unmitigated shit.

Eye patch is way sexier. Just ask your mom.

That is my plan. :)
But then I am not exactly their highest concern. I tend to read books, and listen to music I bought on CD a decade or more ago.
It is a GREAT idea if you happen to be an electronics manufacturer with your factories over the horizon from where the blast occurs.

Ah, you mean Krusty O's. My favourite breakfast cereal.

It's a good thing I don't live in Florida.
Pressure cooked Possum Roadkill Surprise (PRS) is damned tasty.

Obviously.
I don't think facebook was ever cool.

I'd download that movie. :)
Thank you. I came to post exactly this.
Without the question mark.

It might also have someting to do with why flying cars have never taken off. (Pun intended.)
Another vote for Raspberry Pi. :( Where is my Credit crad? I think I need to order some Raspberries.
More than a little disappointed.
