We don't buy them stuff like that just because they ask for it. Bikes, Kindle, DS, iPod, etc are birthday and Christmas presents. We don't charge them for presents. For the most part, if there is something we think they need, you provide it. It is a loose system. It has been pretty effective in shutting down the classic "child begging endlessly to get something at the store" problem. There is usually one of two responses: "Save up for it" or "Did you bring your money?"
Did Andy step down or finally have an opportunity to peruse his dream?
> For Rubin, manufacturing is a return to the past. According to a 2007 profile, Rubin began as a robot engineer at lens manufacturer Carl Zeiss and had a brief stint at Apple as a manufacturing engineer before devoting his working hours to developing computers instead. However, robotics remained a hobby, with Rubin both building his own and amassing a collection of robots from Japan.
We recently bought one of those inexpensive spring mattresses from Ikea. Let me just say that the thing was about as comfortable as a sack of slinkies. Would not buy again. And you can't try them out in-store either as they don't have all of their mattresses on display.
They can filter the parts library, but if Little Johnny heard of something at school and made his own design, I don't see how the system can prevent that short of a parental lockout / corporate approval system where every printed part must be approved before printing. Even then, the most determined hacker-kids will figure out how to subvert that system.
It looks like it only has a small set of built-in models, then the rest are file imports from somewhere on your machine. It doesn't seem to connect to an online store of models at this point.
I hope you mean 'things like guns' but I fear you mean 'things like dicks'. Meanwhile most of the workforce brings his dick to work while the guns stay home as they are 'not safe for work', as it should be. This is clearly an area were reality comes out ahead...
Facebook just took the known emails/passwords from Adobe and ran them through their own password encryption routine and checked for a match. For matches they reset the passwords on the FB accounts.
The only way to know them is to have people manually examine the password hints and guess (without confirmation of whether the guess was right or not). It's funny trying to picture Facebook employees looking through 150 million password hints trying to guess passwords.
