Recalls on Made in China products…Enough?
Question by SharpDr08: Recalls on Made in China products…Enough?
This week Fisher-Price recalled about 1 million dolls, because they contained excessive amounts of lead, they were made in China. Yes China make the products for cheap, but when there is a recall involved, which quite often it happens; first it hurts the image of the American company, lowers the consumer trust in that company, and finally it costs the company more money. I believe that in the upcoming years, American companies are going to fed up with China imports and start making products back in the US? would this be a possibility, what do you think?

It would be nice to think that, but I don’t know. Labor is so much cheaper over seas, even with the recall they still probably come out to the good. And we all know that we have short memories… as soon as that 2 year old starts crying in walmart a month from now that frazzled mom is going to buy fisher price!

What? Mike made a song for Remix War 4? But he makes PMVs and stupid videos, he doesn’t do music! Screw it. One guy. No song-making software. A bunch of really really stupid instruments. Moderate singing skill. Spare time. Pretty sweet mic. Let’s rock. Warning: Anyone with a sound design background is gonna cringe when they see the MP3’s waveform because I artificially lowered the volume at some parts. The rest of you will just be cringing because of how off-key I go and because it sounds like it’s being performed by a swarm of bees. ENJOY! Instruments used: Voice, kazoo, slide whistle, a thing that whirrs when you blow into it, recorder, and an empty tube of M&Ms Minis I popped open and re-closed to make for the backbeat.

Would you ever buy a JVC Product?
Question by CORiverRat: Would you ever buy a JVC Product?
I purchased a JVC video camera and have had nothing but problems with it. First it had a lens cap issue (Google JVC &Lens Cap) which seemed to be a design flaw. NOW my JVC video camera is saying Condensation, Operation Paused and won’t do anything. I live in Colorado where humidity is not a problem and the camera has not gone through any rapid temp changes. Google this and you will find over 500+ entries in Google of people looking for answers to this problem. Leaving the camera on, JVC’s suggestion, does not work. Blow drying it does not work. Any solution I have found (basically taking the entire camera apart and q-tipping all sorts of things, just fixes it for maybe a couple of hours if I am lucky but then it comes back. This is an obvious design flaw given the number of people reporting the problem but JVC only tells you to pay for a service center. Given what you heard, would you be a sucker like me and ever buy a JVC product? JVC = Just Video CRAP

I would never buy a JVC product. I’ve heard many similar stories to yours…sorry to hear it.

If a product gets recalled or banned, what happens to the factory workers who were working there?
Question by Brandon H: If a product gets recalled or banned, what happens to the factory workers who were working there?
An example: Studies suddenly showed that Pepsi causes a mutating skin cancer. The government steps in and banns all Pepsi to be sold, drank, or even produced. To the Pepsi corporation, what happens?
Best answer:
Answer by phatmattd
The government wouldn’t stop Pepsi to be produced, sold, and consumed. With today’s technology, they would know what caused this mutating skin cancer and take that one part out of Pepsi. The workers would all keep about their work.
Every heard of Aqua Dots? They were “creative” toys for kids. A bunch of dots that kids would put together and when you poured water on them, they came together to make your shape into one item instead of a bunch of dots. We came to find out that when swallowed and combined with the contents of a child’s stomach, the Aqua Dots turned into a date rape drug. They were completely recalled and taken off the market for good.
What happened?
The company made new Aqua Dots that didn’t make kids pass out for hours to wake up with a killer hangover.
Long story short, The company would just remake their product.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption – 01 (The Caped Crusader Goes Down, Gets Back Up)
Mmhmm. A nice non-Tolkien-esque WRPG to sate our … hunger. Heh. Talkin’ about some real vampires here too. Not the glittery metrosexual ladyboys of our current culture. We’re talking about scary, creepy, and downright ghoulish creatures with often sick fucked up ethos surrounding their weird ideology. Something to think on for those of you turned off by this: I hate vampires. I think the mythology is stupid. How good is this game? I love it anyway. THAT good. It’s not perfect. It is, however, groundbreaking for it’s time, and ballsy as shit in some of the design and core gameplay decisions. I think it’ll be a lot of fun to work our way through so join me or go be dumb in some gay night club bathroom you dumb poopie peepee you.

In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science. In this episode it is shown how little the creationists know about information, and what it does for civilization. It is also highlighted how the creationist organization The Discovery Institute has dropped the term ‘intelligent design’ in their latest video, where they do not utter it once. Creationists are ultimately antisocial polluters of the fountain of knowledge at the heart of our civilization. They are willing to do anything, including pissing in the fountain of knowledge itself to try to discredit the discoveries of mankind that conflict with their bronze age religions.

how do you change a database design to Top-Down?
Question by Chardy: how do you change a database design to Top-Down?
I’m sorry for asking such a stupid question, but I’ve never done this before.
I’m talking about EDITING a database, not making a new one.
Best answer:
Answer by iris wide open
In general, you can’t. A database “design” is its schema, and if the schema is wrong, you need to start over with a better schema. But once that is done, you can usually convert the old data over to the new schema.
More details about your project might help.

important info re: infantino brand slings!!!?
Question by Sheryl: important info re: infantino brand slings!!!?
(CBS) The popularity of baby slings has been on the rise over the past four years.
But, reports “Early Show” Consumer Correspondent Susan Koeppen, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says two slings are considered so dangerous they’re being pulled from the market, and parents are being told to stop using them.
Earlier this month, “The Early Show” broke the news that federal regulators were warning of possible suffocation hazards posed by baby slings — which parents put around their necks and carry their babies in.
Now, the CPSC has announced the voluntary recall of one million slings made by Infantino.
The Sling Rider and the Wendy Bellissimo are being pulled because they pose a suffocation risk, Koeppen says.
Asked by Koeppen how quickly a child could suffocate in “one these slings,” CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum responded, “In a matter of minutes.”
Tenenbaum says three children died in Infantino slings last year alone.
“You might have your baby in a sling next to you and not notice that the baby has gone into (a) position (in which he or she) cannot breathe” until it’s too late, Tenenbaum added.
That, notes Koeppen, is exactly what happened to seven-day-old Derrik Fowler during a shopping trip with his mother, Lisa Cochran.
She’d been carrying her newborn in a sling made by Infantino. “By the time I got to the car and pulled him out of the sling to put him in his car seat, he was no longer of normal color,” Cochran recalls.
Infants younger than four months are at greatest risk in slings, Koeppen points out, because their weak neck muscles mean they have no head control. An infant can curl into a “C”-shape, with the chin falling into the chest — restricting the baby’s airway.
There are no federal or voluntary safety standards for infant slings.
In a statement, Infantino says, “Safety is our No. 1 concern,” adding it “has also been working closely with the CPSC and other agencies … to develop safety standards for baby slings.”
But, observes Koeppen, that’s of little consolation to mothers such as Cochran, who says, “As a first-time mom, I had no clue I could walk into a store and pick something off the shelf that wasn’t safe.”
Consumers are being advised to stop using the recalled Infantino baby slings immediately and contact the company for a free replacement product.
To get it, take the tags off your recalled sling and send the tags to Infantiono, Koeppen says, adding, “There are three different products that you could get in return. You have a choice. There is a shopping cart carrier. There is a different type of baby carrier. There’s also an activity gym that you can receive for free.”
As for baby slings not included in the recall, Koeppen repeated parent sholdn’t use them if their infant is less than four months old.
The CPSC, Koeppen says, is also looking at all baby slings, investigating them — the ones that are on the market currently — and will be working toward mandatory federal safety standards.
