  1. Is this Clip Art or Hand drawn?

    It looks very much like a composite of a clip art guy with his tongue out, [why is he holding what appears to be a paint brush?], and a waitress babe drawn in two rather different styles. The chair, table, coffee pot, and fountain of coffee seem to have been added to the pair of clip art...
  2. First van job

    I hate to pop the big bubble of love and complements that seem to be gushing forth from all posters to date but the result as shown in the original poster's three pictures is an excellent example of full contact mediocrity. On the sides there are four separate and somewhat less than...
  3. A stupid question about lamination

    If the end product is going to be subject to external violence other than just being there, and I would suspect that to be the case since the client wants more abrasion protection, then the decal is going to fail far sooner than the materials themselves will fail. A decal benignly just sitting...
  4. Cutting laminated prints

    And once it's set, it's set. On plotters with round blades, like Graphtec, it's exactly 1/2 the shaft diameter. Set it and forget it. Once set, if you have problems, it's not the offset setting. The distance never, as in ever, varies, unless you change to a blade with a different physical...
  5. making new logo

    Yet Another typographical train wreck, this time enhanced by technical and aesthetic malfeasance. If this is going to be on your window to the world, don't quit your day job.
  6. Magnetic Dry Erase Sign

    Easier to merely get a piece of sheet metal, cover it with white vinyl, perhaps printing logos or whatever on it, and then dry erase laminate.
  7. virus questions

    Just do you know, that's called 'post hoc ergo propter hoc', or 'after this therefore caused by this', a formal fallacy. Knowing the nomenclature is half of all wisdom.
  8. Extended Warranty?

    Never ever buy an extended warranty on anything. You're always better off working without a net in this regard. Since the people offering the warranty at $X per time period are making money doing so, this unequivocally states that the probability of your doing $X damage to whatever it might...
  9. virus questions

    Not quite. PC's are a prime target because virtually all of them are running some version of Windows. Windows has an enormous hole through which malignant software might be passed. The being the idiotic ability to execute messages as if they were native code. Once a system provides this...
  10. Planning for Emergencies

    Where, exactly, did I even allude to a dislike of my family? I said that dying, unless you happen to vapor lock while driving at 75mph, does not constitute an emergency. It might be tragic, far-reaching, intense, emotional, life-changing, etc, but an emergency it's not. Further, just how is...
  11. Planning for Emergencies

    Why is a family member, or anyone else for that matter, sucking the pipe an emergency? What, exactly, is the emergency?
  12. FC 7000 registration mark laser issues

    Where and how, exactly, is this setting accessed? I see nothing in the vast and often bewildering FC7000 diagram of menus that could have anything to do with the ARMS sense level.
  13. Cartridge recycling woes - Challenge: Canadian

    Here's how it works... When it's your turn to post you get to post whatever it pleases you to post. When it's someone else's turn to post they get to post whatever it might please them to post. If, during this process, the conversation should take some turns of which you might not...
  14. Cartridge recycling woes - Challenge: Canadian

    No sport, I feel as I do because I do have an understanding of scale and the futility of cumulative actions [as well as the inherent fallacy of the concept of collective actions as used in this flavor of rhetoric] against the particular scale with which we are dealing. Which means: There is...
  15. Windows 7...I'm in Love

    Exactly what did you do? I brought up a Windows 7 machine replacing and old XP machine. This machine used to share the c drive on my shop machine, the shop machine would share the c drive on the old machine, and the desktop of one could be brought up on the other using VNC. With advent of...
  16. Boxes...

    Unfortunately the subordinates assigned to such tasks open those boxes by cutting off the tops. That's why they call their favorite tools 'box knives'. They have no top closures.
  17. Cartridge recycling woes - Challenge: Canadian

    Not trolling, just telling you how it is in the real world. You, of course, will recoil in horror from this. Perhaps because you think that you can actually have some lasting effect on the external reality. This planet is far larger and more resilient than the pathetic efforts of it's...
  18. Cartridge recycling woes - Challenge: Canadian

    If you think that a couple of ounces of solvent ink, or any amount for that matter, in the trash is going to have any effect on anything whatsoever, disabuse your mind. Just toss them in the dumpster. It will not alter the course of history in any way.
  19. Women!!!

    Women; you can't live with 'em and you can't kill 'em.
  20. Band Logo

    They all, every one of them, look like designs for manhole covers or, at best, monograms for a shirt pocket for someone still living in decades past. Simple doesn't necessarily mean simplistic, or its more malignant cousin, silly.
