The adhesive on banner retracters is never sufficient. Ever. I keep a roll of black duct tape on hand and as a matter of course I always put a piece of the duct tape over the joints between the banner and the retracter both top and bottom. If you carefully apply and just as carefully trim...

Anytime I encounter someone protesting that my bill seems like a lot of money for very little work I relate this story... A businessman had a giant complex machine that performed some vital task in his business. One day the machine quit working. The businessman called a repairman to come and...

651 is as printable as any most other vinyl with solvent, any sort of solvent, ink. Special coatings on vinyl are usually not necessary since the vinyl itself is inherently soluble by the solvent ink. The biggest difference betwixt 3651 and 651 is the white point. 3651 is a warmer white than...

Not quite there, Clarence Darrow. What you get is an enforceable judgement. Once you have that you can file a lien on whatever property the debtor might own and have the county sheriff enforce it for you. The court might not do anything for you but the rest of the apparatus remains quite...

Only if it were true... You could easily modify 20% or 30% or almost whatever percent of a $100.00 bill and no one without optical gear could ever tell.

Are you familiar with the laws of physics? If you put something on an accurate scale and that instrument indicates 7 ounces then there exists 7 ounces of heavier than air material on the scale. It doesn't matter how much air space there is, 7 ounces of stuff is 7 ounces of stuff. If you...

In shops not equipped with exotic cutting tackle such as water jets, lasers, death rays, etc. and in descending order of desirability... Cutawl: The definitive pattern cutting mechanism. You can pad the work to ~1" depending on the blade you're using. Band saw: Next best but the speed of...

Do you mean return to spending all of one's time hunting and gathering or merely ridding oneself of the completely idiotic cell phones with all of their attendant inane gadgets and applications that seem so indispensable to people these days? If the former, not a chance. I the latter, I don't...

What mathematics would that be? As far as one vice the other, I should think that an 1/8 mile, a massive 660 feet, would depend very much on rear-end gearing. I used to have an '89 Chevrolet C20 4wd with a 350 engine [what ever that might be in liters, a silly way to measure of displacement...

First make sure that the rendering intent for gradients is set to 'No Color Correction'. You can do this in the default job setup for this printer in Production Manager or, sometimes, in the print and cut dialog for the job itself. Depending. However you have to do it, do it. Next I'd give...

Knifeless tape notwithstanding, the technique for flattening a three dimensional object is to cover the object with paper carefully following all curves etc. Then trace a convenient outline or edge, like the gap between the hood and the fenders, with a sharpie. Remove the paper and lay it...

Sorry, I wasn't perfectly clear. I didn't mean substitute another note, I meant substitute another entire tune. Even if all of the notes and progressions have their own special names, they are sufficiently boring as to be functionally identical.

Notify the media, OP and myself are in agreement on something... The original one with Barry Newman, not the insipid remake with Vigo Mortensen. A story wherein the apparatus ends up killing a guy for speeding.

Especially if you suffer from insomnia or you fancy long elevator rides. You could interrupt a tune in this genre in mid-note, substitute another, and no one would notice.

Incognito: A story with a most satisfying gotcha at the end. Dogma The Prestige Independence Day: A most entertaining Tom & Jerry comic book wherein the good guys kick the living crap out of the bad guys. Quigley Down Under: A vehicle for one of the best lines ever uttered in a...

add... Justified Harry's Law [anything by David E. Kelly is worth watching] Grimm Anyone who would watch Bill Maher as anything real and/or serious probably sleeps with young boys and barnyard animals.

Nonsense. The 'I Want You" with Uncle Sam image dates back to WWI. First, most anything the government does is pretty much automatically in the public domain. Secondly, it was done before 1922 [I think that's the correct year] and as such, it also in the public domain unless specific...

..and at long last, a hands down winner in the tortured reasoning and ridiculous rationalization competitions. Wow... As sometimes heard in first year law classes: "if a tail is a leg, how many legs does a cow have?"... The answer is four. Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg. Only...

There isn't a whole hell of a lot you can do with the file you have except redo it with simple vectors as someone described above. You can't weld all of the objects, that will produce on big empty rectangle. This sort of thing is not all that uncommon when people are given Illustrator files...

Historically Corel makes mostly cosmetic and minor user interface changes on even numbered versions. The more meaty functional extensions and changes seem to be in the odd numbered versions.
