Too bad. Once a forum becomes moderated it's time to move on. Nothing worse than a coven of petty little dipsticks each of whom are convinced that they are the soul of perception and prudence. As previously noted, that anyone wants the job is evidence that they shouldn't have it.

Be careful criticizing someone's sign. It's around 50:50 that that nasty looking sign was done by someone's wife or nephew or whatever.

A dictionary is descriptive, not definitive, and provides nothing more that descriptions of usage of which the editors were aware at the time the dictionary was published. That a word is 'in the dictionary' might win you a challenge in a rousing rubber of Scrabble but it means little else...

"Wanna"? You "wanna"? Once might be an affectation but twice is inexcusable. What are you, about 14 years old?

Bother me? Perhaps but then stupidity bothers me. As it should you or anyone wrangling more than a handful of functioning brain cells. Derogatory? It's sarcasm sport, apparently something tight-asses such as yourself have some difficulty recognizing. And, 'this place', being public forum, is...

The typical last words of one who has no argument, no sustainable position, and has just realized it.

Here's how it works sport,it's your proposition therefore it's incumbent upon you to confirm it. No one no how has any responsibility, or interest for that matter, in confirming the opposite. Even if it were possible. Note carefully the use of the term 'confirm'. No hypothesis is capable of...

So tell me, just how is this planet different in any substantial way from what it was in the past? I'm experiencing my 8th decade here on Urth and I see no noteworthy difference in any aspect of this planet over that time. Do you have any actual evidence that supports your global...

Just treat the materiel as if it were wood. Or you can score it on one side then snap it over an edge like the edge of a table. The former always works while the latter depends on how securely the material is held down and how briskly it is snapped.

While you're in the mood I've got a couple of grapefruit rinds filled with coffee grounds that might interest you as well. Why do some of you obsess about tossing your trash in the trash? Not matter what you do with these chunks of plastic or anything else for that matter, recycle, heave them...

Perhaps, but I've been measuring all manner of things with a camera and a framing square for lo these many years and everything as been sufficiently accurate. Tape a standard 16x24 framing square to whatever it is you want to measure. Take a picture making sure to include the framing square...

Well then Dr. Science, according to my sources plate glass will expand somewhere around 0.0008" per linear inch per 100 degrees temperature rise. Not the rate of expansion that leads to shattering one should think. Has anyone, anyone at all, ever actually hands on, not tales from a friend of a...

You've actually heard of it, wow. And I've actually seen a quarter appear out of the nose of a small boy. Glass is some pretty tough stuff and a little heat absorbed by some vinyl stuck to it is not likely to cause it to break. If it does then I would strongly suspect that there was something...

Take the sign and screw it to the wall. The number of fastener system for doing this are legion. Simple drywall screws, toggles, anchors of many materials. They'll all work. Pick the one that gets you off and screw the damn thing to the wall. It's always amusing to watch otherwise normal people...

Sensors are switches, either mechanical or electronic. A sensor is either normally open or normally closed when it's not sensing anything. When it senses whatever it senses it goes to its other state, either closed or open, depending. If you don't want a sensor to sense anything then it must be...

Not flour, use cornstarch instead. Or separate them with plain old vanilla wax paper.

Depends on what kind of sensor. If it's an NO switch that you don't want to make, then unwire it or force it to stay unmade. If it's an NC switch the you want to stay made then either jumper across it or force it to stay made.If it's a photo-sensor then you can put a chunk of tape over it to...

If the media itself is not contaminated then you might check the media rollers for contamination or something somewhere above the media, perhaps up in the top cover dropping some sort of oily dust on the media. If you clean the rollers be very careful to clean each one completely and not to use...

The curve to which the OP refers most likely is a cantenary and not an arc. Not that it matters all that much. but it's always helpful to know what you're dealing with. Regardless, Corel's envelope tool is robust enough to deal with most any distortion needed to match a windshield curve. If you...

I've seen this particular error many times. In both directions. In Coeur d'Alene there was a cast brass thing. it was either a door push bar or a plaque, it was over 50 years ago. It was supposed to be the 'Desert' whatever but it read 'Dessert'. Point being that those who make signss rarely...
