Thank you for a comprehensive and useful post. Do you know of any open source CAD programs that support the STL format? I'll be experimenting with various AM machines in a few months (hopefully).
Thank you for a concise, graphic example of what awaits us at the bottom of a slippery slope. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need to maintain high standards.
You hit the nail squarely on its head. The only company that I can think of offhand that handled a debacle well was Johnson & Johnson during the Tylenol poisonings. They pulled the product quickly and developed tamper evident bottles immediately afterward.
I bet their networking engineers are frantically trying to distance themselves from such a basic mistake.

... I'm beginning to think people like the IRS more than the TSA.
I think the IRS and the TSA are equally despised, but people see that the IRS at least has a purpose. On second thought, I agree with you, the TSA is regarded as worse than the IRS.

This is from the article and explains the fines/fees,
Students at Noble schools receive demerits for various infractions -- four for having a cellphone or one for untied shoelaces. Four demerits within a two-week period earn them a detention and $5 fine. Students who get 12 detentions in a year must attend a summer behavior class that costs $140.
Five dollars for four demerits appears reasonable. Do the students get a warning and then a demerit?
I recall people saying the same thing about Japan and then about South Korea. The Chinese should not be underestimated.
Foxconn might take a hit if they blatantly screwed over Apple, but I find it extremely unlikely that Cisco, HP, Vizio, Toshiba, and the rest of Foxconn's customers would wean themselves off of that low cost producer. One or two might, but only if they either thought long term or found an even lower cost producer.
Read my sig. You're one of the blind that would crucify me given the chance.
You don't think China is an economic superpower? You're the idiot.
You think they need the US? You're arrogant too. The US isn't even China's largest trading partner now; it's the EU.
I didn't say that China wouldn't be affected by a US ban on their imports, but they wouldn't sink into a depression either. If the US cut of all trade with China, both countries would suffer. China would suffer increased unemployment and there may be a knock on effect of popping their real estate bubble. On the other hand, the US would suffer even more inflation. Bear in mind that China runs trade surpluses with the EU, Japan, and probably a host of other countries (I'm still looking for a comprehensive list). I'm living in the Middle East right now and I see stores loaded with products made in (wait for it) China. Yes, Chinese domestic spending can't sustain their economy, but it doesn't have to. They have plenty of exports even without the US.
As for technological sophistication, does anyone truly believe that the Chinese are somehow incapable of learning to innovate? That's both racist and incredibly stupid.
Foxconn would laugh, continue to make the iCrap, and sell it under their own (or Proview's) brand. Outsourcing to China by the US has created a new economic superpower/monster that doesn't need the US any more.
Religion is the problem - period. Regardless of creed or sect, all religions ultimately believe that their way is the only legitimate way to salvation/paradise/whatever and that their they are superior to everyone else. It's basically nothing more than a fancy wrapping for tribalism.
I thought my sales stand in front of St. Peter's was the perfect place, but the Swiss Guards took all of the toasted cheese sandwiches and threw me out of Vatican city.
Amazing how my "Pressa del panino griglia della Madonna" wouldn't sell for over 35 Euro each, but a cheese sandwich made with it was bought for 28,000 dollars. Maybe the name was too long.

I wonder if anyone in Anonymous just thought of their next target.
Hence the phrase, "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

We should be really careful with any alien spaceships we run across though.
Can I get the sound track on 8 track tape?

That's the funniest post I've read in a long time. Too bad I don't have mod points today.
When I read about the phrase "bulked up by exposing to electric shocks", I thought of little "I am Epic Win" cells.

Why does a company need social networking in the first place for employees?
Astroturfing.
So, what kind of look would your supervisor give you when you ask for the "Facebook Account Maintenance" charge code?
They are Google; I think they can look up the terms you're using.

Wow, that's either a Zen koan or a line from some sappy chick flick. Is there a mod that covers both?
