I don't want it to help me if I'm lost, drowning, or standing on my head blowing fresh fruits and vegetables out of my butt. Should I be desirous of help I will unequivocally invoke help. Until that time if some innocent and/or inadvertent action or another my part should invoke some...

A most annoying feature. Actually 'annoying' doesn't do it justice. In my world a computer does exactly what I tell it to do, no more no less. When I want to view some image or another I will do so. Until that time the machine will do nothing. I do not want it 'helping' me an any what...

Oracal is supposed to have a solvent printable reflective. I have a sample roll but I've never gotten around to trying it. The folk at Oracal assure me that it's printable.

A little girl once asked me "Why is there an angel on top of the Christmas Tree?" I took her on my knee and I told her that many many years ago it was Christmas eve at the north pole. Things were not going well for Santa, Mrs. Claus was rude to him, the elves were quarreling, as he walked out...

I have long favored the bung-hole method of raising children [first described by RAH]. You place the child in a barrel soon after its birth and feed it through the bung-hole. On its 16th birthday you drive in the bung.

You can tote them off to some recycling facility and feel all warm and fuzzy or you can toss them in the trash and not feel anything. Either way will have exactly the same effect on the environment as well as the course of history. None whatsoever.

The simplest way, as previously noted, is to trace it. Assuming that it is a chord of an actual circle and the dimensions of that chord is known, then you might either use a 3 point circle constructor, as in Flexi, or visit... http://http://www.1728.org/circpart.htm ...and work a...

What you describe is what happens to drop shadows when they are exported out of their proprietary format. The grayish box is usually the bounding rectangle for a drop shadow. There is no standard, none, nada, zip, zero, for handling transparencies. Every package does it differently and, more...

You don't need gold vinyl. Just print yellow on silver vinyl. It works better than trying to print on gold since the silver is far far closer to having something resembling a white point.

Which word didn't you understand?

It might have started out life as a type face but it's been mightily diddled. The three 'S's are all different as well as the five 'T's. You might catch a clue as to just what it started out as by looking at the 'H', 'L', 'I', 'N', 'E' ,'O', 'U', and 'X' characters. These characters appear to...

Spending $7K on a two dollar dog is a level of silliness I hope never to personally achieve. Regardless of the economics, for every dog that requires $7K worth of medical attention there's hundreds of thousands that dot not. That's what pays for the insurance weenie's new suits and company...

As others have noted, way too many type faces that absolutely positively are not harmonious with each other. The border is awful, the copy is too small, and the drop shadow on the line at the bottom is gratuitous. The copy in white at the bottom is indecipherable. The stick with the honey...

In your vast repertoire of education and experience didn't anyone teach you that copperplate and it's imitators and variations should only be used in small point sizes on documents and cards? That to do otherwise is considered less than good typography? That the purpose of those ghastly square...

False dichotomy sport. There's a lot of area between attending a school and unabashedly hanging out your shingle. Most of those that have been around a while have served apprenticeships with a squad of crusty old master sign writers, printers, and type setters. Those apprenticeships might be...

I asked... To which you dropped your keyboard into gear and replied... So then, if someone were to pay then that would elevate them from amateur status? Then you prattled on, confirming both your arrogance and your ignorance... You ramble on stating as true things not in evidence. You...

Are they amateurs because they haven't paid or haven't they paid because they are amateurs?

Bummer. Dogs are nature's way of teaching the concept of unconditional love. That being the case only makes it harder to let one go.

Is there a product opportunity here? Note that saws, at least all saws with toothed blades, cut by chipping the material away, not by slicing through it. How about a tool like a large tubing or pipe cutter with a utility knife blade rather than a cutting wheel? Just mark where you want to...

That you have clients that pay exorbitant sums for your work is not an endorsement of that work, it simply means that they know even less than you. That as well as they might not know what they could have had for the same or perhaps less. Merely because you are unable to do something without...
