    the data may be the same (HSC way too much on the chips) but its the difference between a tract having Thou Shalt Not Kill in it and showing somebody Deuteronomy 5:17. (or as the case may be the original stone tablets)

    in this case the HUD would overlay the plans for the joists on the actual joist so you wouldn't need to have the blue prints on the roof. Besides if you are working on joists you probably have a "universal off switch" handy.

    pardon me but your complaint is pure Horseshit!!
    if you had a clue as to how a webdomain is run you would know that urchin is a very common stats service that can in fact run completely from your own website (this is why i have google-analtics.com domain blocked and not *urchin* in ad block)

    a bit of a suggestion pop down to a good electronics store and get a Bididirectional splitter and a couple of good jumpers.
