    Funny you mentioned that. At my old company, the yellow toner did run out a bit faster than any of the other colors. always bothered me, too the point where I got a color chart to see what the heck was using up the yellow....

    long story short I could not figure out what the issue was.

    You enjoy what you are doing, Never let anyone tell you different. I have a small site that I have updated daily since 2000, it does not generate alot of traffic but it helps my in my hobby. Also it's nice to recieve a thank you letter from people ( that's the best reward from my point of view ). so keep up the great work.

    I've fished near the TVA dams back in the 80's. it was common to pull up 80 to 90 lbs.

    and if you had a guild, they could route you to those special holes which has 120' to 140'. now that's fishing. ( last time I caught a 90' it took me all around the the lake for about 1 hour )

  8. as a publisher.... on Adware Related To Web Sites Ruled Legal · · Score: 1

    As a publisher, this really can hurt the little bit of income my sites create. this will force me to change the code on my site to break this type of software.

    Also this forces me to do something that I wanted to do along time ago, make a page that states they have spy-ware with the simple to read and print instruction to do the removal.

    the battle has begun, I hope that publishers win, since if we loose, you might see the creation on small pay as you go sites (no more free content)

    Who is G-d person?

    Simple, in certain faiths the word God can not be written without certain rules.

    My jewish friends do this, they write it like this so that when the document is tossed in the trash, it's not act against god.

    there are some rules ot the termination of documents with the word "God". so find yourself a good Rabbi and ask him.

    Funny, 4 years ago someone asked my how to protect an entire warehouse of documents, i told him this.

    1) buy the required scanners systems for the documents and then have 1 spares machine placed on the side ( sealed tightly in a steamship container)

    2) scan everything to a systems with pc's

    3) have a duplicate of the pc in the steamship container

    4) make laminated copies of all instruction manuals and keep them in the steam ship container

    5) store all the tapes somewhere and back up copies somewhere else.

    they went ahead and did everything, scanned, taped backup, ( just recently back up tapes to cd copies ) ...

    they cleared the warehouse of everything.

    now somewhere sits some containers, with everything.

    they asked me why the copies of each hardware system, I told them that back-up systems get forgotten, so having fresh system sitting there saves them time and reduces worries.

    Sad part about your statement is, that due to lack of industry standardization people confuse all the terms.

    I myself prefer to use the terms that were published back in 2000 by a company called net genesis. written by Matt cutler . title of the work is called e-metrics - business metrics for the new economy ... here is the link http://www.emetrics.org/articles/whitepaper.html

    Diesel is the fuel for emergencies and some odd equipment that can not run the heavy fuel.
    the heavy fuel is called Bunker and the one of the grades is called #6 ( there is also grade c from the gulf )

    Number 6 fuel oil is a thick, syrupy, black, tar-like liquid. It smells like tar, and may even become semi-solid in cooler temperatures. No. 6 fuel oil, also known as bunk oil, bunker oil, or black liquor, is a petroleum product consisting of a complicated mix of hydrocarbons with high boiling points. It is a "leftover", or residual product of crude oil after the more valuable hydrocarbons have been removed.

    this product is priced at about 200 to 400 per ton.

    misuse of words examples:

    bi-weekly ( is it 2 per week or every 2 weeks )
    the correct answer for every 2 weeks is fortnightly

    bi-monthly ( is it every 2 weeks or every 2 months )
    I have no definitive proof that it's every 2 months. it would seem them you could use the word fortnightly. and it could also mean 2 times per month.
