Ah, I see, so now I'm a newbie with 116 posts
I learned to live with CTS, but it's not sure how it'll develop.

@Maggy: hey Maggy long time no see! Glad you're back - I'm going to re-attribute your old posts right now (FYI: we have moved to a new forum ever since you last visited).

I have no idea what re-attribute means, but I guess you know what you're doing. Yes, I did notice that just about everything about this forum has changed. I've been very busy in 3d photography experiments, then gave myself a bad carpal tunnel syndrome... AUCH, wasn't able to approach my puter for months.

I regularly run mozbackup and advice everyone to do so. Firefox once scrambled my bookmarks, lost them on another occasion and lost my stored passwords one day as well.

Poor Pythagoras. Poor Euclid. Thousands of years of math development and some funny archeologist still tries to make us believe that 3 : 8 = 2 : 5

Hi all, how are you, long time no see. I even had to create a new account.

I thought it was about the Pink Floyd tophit "The Wall":
We do need you Sketchucation
We just need the full control
Push pull curtains in the bedroom
Leave the Google Groups alone.

Waa Laa? Is that Alabama slang for Et Voila?

Eric, if your math would be correct, there would be almost 3 grams of E coli in every liter of water.
Recently the water supply of several towns near Amsterdam were cut off tap water for 2 days because the laboratory had found traces of E coli. I can assure you that these traces were not grams, not even milligrams.
OTOH your intestines need E coli. If you would place a baby in an ultra clean room directly after birth, it would not be able to digest its food.

Pick the red berry-like fruits from an exotic bush.
Dry them
Peel them.
Toast them.
Mix them with similar fruits from other parts of the globe.
Grind them.
Put the powder in a paper bag.
Use boiling hot water to extract the pitch black juices.
Poor in a ceramic mug.
Add a spoon of a cristalline substance extracted from a beet root or from a bamboo-like grass.
Stir well
Drink it while it's still hot but don't forget to enjoy the fine bouquet

I'm sorry to be a little late with this reaction but I believe I should still give it:

Regular large doses of vitamin C mean extra work for the kidneys and can increase the growth of kidney stones. As far as known it can not cause kidney stones, but if you already have them, it can make them grow faster.
Vitamin C can also, in very large regular doses reduce to absorption of Cu (copper).
Vitamin C has a positive effect on the absorption of Fe (iron), this could theoretically lead to an overdose of iron. But in the context of Rooibos you don't have to worry about this effect, Rooibos also contains substances that reduce iron absorption.
The maximum safe dosis (UIL upper intake level) of vitamin C is about 30 x the RDA (recommended dietary allowance).
Our own organs can produce vitamin C, when we become ill, we can produce levels similar to UIL.

in short: as long as you're not a vitaminCaholic, don't worry.

im not going to get caught up in technicalities, but it was my 100th post on the sketchucation forums!

I understand, anyhow you've now reached that milestone twice, and in the same thread.

poster-Maggy

I understand. Than it's extra special that you had your 100'th twice in the same thread.

I do see a posts counter per member. And the start of this thread was Mike Lucey's 96'th post. As far as I can see there is no counter for number of posts/threads in the Corner Bar or the Pool, so I honestly do not know which 100th post we're celebrating.

BTW this is my 123'rd post, doesn't look bad either, take a drink on me.

poster-Maggy

where do you see a posts counter?

I went to Daz3D, registered, did a search for the Ness, clicked on his "my products" button, found only a probably 18th century anatomy room. It does look good. But it's not free.

Welcome home, Todd.
Didn't we yet install the rule of homecoming parties with free drinks for all?

Yes, that's a serious risk for inventors. There've been so many before you. The safest way to get a patent is:
-put your name on the mailing list of all small silicon chip developing companies
-order all their newest chipset samples and development kits
-order the best PCB design and simulation software plus the latest prototyping machines
-hire the best firmware writers you can get
-design housing and packaging for your newly developed devices at home, late at night on the coffee table using Sketchup of course
-launch your products worldwide using the services of the best advertising agencies, the best marketing bureaus and the best distributing networks

• price tag at least 10x the production cost. But take care to flood the market, deluge, tsunami, grab the moment.
  -last but not least, have a team of the best lawyers to sue anyone who hits the market with a similar product.

The correct url is http://www.baylisbrands.com
It's a private bureau, but you're free to do the whole stuff yourself:
http://www.uspto.gov/ USA patents
http://www.epo.org/ Europe patents
http://www.copyright.gov/ USA copyright

You can trust such government organisations. And in general the known private bureaus can be trusted as well. However no form of registration can guard you against plagiarism. And if it ever comes to that, no patents office or whatever will do the legal work for you, all they do is supply the proof that you did register your idea.

In most cases you'd better keep the money in your pocket and just launch your idea. Hope for the best.

Strange website, loads perfectly in MSIE but as HTML source in Firefox.

Great product, that sorbitol. A laxative in diet food, great way to loose weight. Am I glad that my BMI is perfect without the use of any artificial sweeteners, flavours or other weird additives.
