  1. Your thoughts on "Branding"

    Brands belong on the butts and sometime the shoulders of livestock so the owners can tell theirs from everyone else's. That would be because they're all identical otherwise. Branding outside of livestock always seems to the the gospel to those selling branding and their wide eyed true...
  2. Optical illusion

    That's exactly the same effect that the Disney people used on many of the mannequins in their haunted house. When you look at a concave face the eyes give every appearance of following you.
  3. What weight banner to use

    Exactly so. Banner weight is merely that, weight. Is says absolutely nothing as to the actual strength of the material, on what one square yard weighs. It's thread count and the denier of that thread that are indicators of strength, not weight. A 10oz material of higher thread count and...
  4. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    Whoever split the media is an idiot. The cut end is ALWAYS away from carriage path, I.E. on the left as you face this particular, and most likely every, printer. If it's cut on the wrong end, just wind what you need on another core. As for the rest of it, you're making a big deal out of...
  5. This one makes me dizzy to look at

    Notify the media, Hell has frozen over. There's something even more disgusting than bleeding cowboys.
  6. Font: any idea?

    Wow, really? Modern style? Who would have guessed it. It's highly unlikely that whomever designed that particular badge for GM merely dropped down the font list on their trusty laptop and selected something from there. As opposed to doing a bit of custom work.
  7. help wraping a round cooler

    Often the easiest ways to determine what sort of shape a flat piece of material needs to be to fit a three dimensional object is to make a paper template or model of the object and then lay that template on a flat surface. This then is the shape you must make to have it properly fit the...
  8. Can we discuss politics without getting political?

    I should think that focusing on those less likely to vote for you would be more productive. You already have those others in the bag.
  9. Can we discuss politics without getting political?

    The mind boggles at the prospect of someone who be distracted from actual issues by the slickness of a web site, the quality of a t-shirt, or the message on a bumper sticker. That someone who would be swayed by these sorts of meaningless things would even be allowed to vote is off-putting.
  10. help wraping a round cooler

    Flattening out the lip in a two dimensional image won't do much for you in this case. It would be much like trying to flatten out a hat. Since the tapered lip is essentially a cross section of a cone, it's possible and reasonable to flatten out a cone. Here's the brute force method: Make a...
  11. Precise Cuts through Vinyl without a Knife

    The point is not what a wonderful product it might be, that the cost is miniscule, that they are merchant members, and even kind to small children and stray animals. The point is that 'free' is not so free what with their princely 'shipping and handling' fee. Since it's been reported that the...
  12. X6 slowing down?

    I5 processor, 2.8Ghz, 4Gb, WIndows 7 but 32 bit.
  13. X6 slowing down?

    Shrug. I deleted all the temp stuff but if there's any difference in X6 performance it's small.
  14. X6 slowing down?

    If and when you find it, let me know. X6 has been a dog since the moment I installed it.
  15. Window Perf caused window to crack

    Perhaps the vinyl coating set up some sort of bizarre thermal condition. That would seem the only way that vinyl might break glass. It certainly couldn't be any sort of mechanical action. Vinyl and its adhesive simply isn't strong enough. In any test of mechanical strength vinyl will give...
  16. X6 slowing down?

    Diddling the environment, even big diddles like adding more memory and disk space, will only produce micro-improvements in performance with X6. Corel X6 is a dog, a real woofer, performance-wise. It's just a massive big blob of code and data and there's little anyone can do to kick it in the...
  17. Precise Cuts through Vinyl without a Knife

    You mean almost free, your princely shipping and handling apparently being sacrosanct. Sounds little different than the typical offer As Seen On TV wherein they'll send you another copy of whatever they're selling if only you'll pay an additional exorbitant shipping and handling charge. If the...
  18. Making Shapes in the form of an Oval

    If you want round dots then you're pretty much stuck with entering a line of periods in a font that has a round period, drawing the target oval, and then fitting the line of periods to the oval with the Text->Fit Text To Path function. When the line of periods is fitted to the oval you can add...
  19. How do you manage an employee who knows more than you?

    Perhaps on the next nice day you should consider visiting the Greater Bangkok Home for the Mentally Indisposed and introduce yourself to the staff. You are seriously unhinged, seek help before your do grievous harm to yourself and others.
  20. glyphs or displaying all characters??

    Text->Insert Symbol Character... This displays the entire character set for any font and allows you to insert any character from any font into any text or singly on your current work space.
