    a fully loaded semi trailer carries 80,000 lb of cargo

    Not true.

    A fully loaded 18-wheeler has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 80,000 lbs. The vehicle itself weighs at least 32,000 lbs. (for a highway tractor with sleeper, and a standard dry van trailer). Most weigh lots more.

    Assume 45,000 lbs. or less of cargo in a fully-loaded 18-wheeler.

    Canadian credit cards are mostly the same as US cards: Visa, MasterCard, AMEX...

    Guess that's why I can use my fancy Canadian cards in the US!

  3. Re:It's up to the users to do the research. on Anti-Spyware Products Don't Live Up to Promises · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the language in the EULA refers to all the other crap that you can bundle with your purchase of ZA... Or perhaps other CheckPoint applications!

    I'm not aware of any spyware/adware in ZA freeware (IOW, AdAware et al detected nothing), except the obligatory "Buy the Pro version! It's BETTER!" prompt after installation.

    What the article said was, the "freezing point" is between 45 & 75, "... the temperature at which it becomes a solid falls as the concentration of áCD increases." It remains a solid at higher temperatures.

    Just watch your pronunciation!!!

    "Poo-tin" (emphasis on the last syllable) is correct. Don't pronounce it as "poo-tan" ( putain).

    Unless the restaurant happens to offer them on the menu as well...
