      I bought the G602 - it just didn't feel right and I went back to my Logitech MX Revolution. The G602 is just gathering dust now.

      Sorry it's not what you were looking for, but at least we now know that 1001Shadows works with SU14 Pro! Hope someone else can chime in with a better solution for you.

    • RE: Do we have a Joke Thread goin here?

      A man doing market research for the Vaseline Company knocked at the door and
      Was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her
      Feet.

      "I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?"

      She said, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time."

      "If you don't mind my asking," he said, "what do you use it for?"

      "We use it for sex," she said.

      The researcher was a little taken aback. "Usually people lie to me and say they use it on a child's bicycle chain Or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been so frank so far, can you tell me exactly HOW you use it for sex?"

      The woman said, "I don't mind telling you at all........... My husband and I put it on the doorknob and it keeps the kids out."

    • RE: Roof Tile Texture Creator

      Around here it's called a "boosted tile" and is supposed to mimic an old, mudded tile roof. Roofers charge extra for it, and even Boral has created a concrete tile to look like it too (see here)!

    • RE: A little help with ceiling height please

      I think that in the first image the door height is 8'-0" and the ceiling is at 12'-0"; in the second image I think the door height is 6'-8" and the ceiling is at 10'-0". But just my own guess.

      Please name any missing from the list.

      DataCAD Pro $1,295 (LT @ $295)
      http://datacad.com/store/index.html

      The CTO and CEO regularly post on the Dbug forum and correspond with the end users - including phone calls! Won't find many Software companies that value their users like DataCAD does!

      AND most of the new features are a direct result of DataCAD LLC listening to what the USERS want in the program and what makes it more productive for the users - NOT what the buzzword-of-the-day dictates.

      I've been using DataCAD since '95 and use BricsCAD when I have to deal with DWG formats for documentation (both are most current versions). Presentation is via straight SU.

    • RE: Do we have a Joke Thread goin here?

      Three blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Police Force. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, "So you all want to be cops, huh?"

      The blondes all nodded.

      The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it, pulled out a picture, and said, "To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so forth." So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.

      "Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?

      "The blonde immediately said, "Yes, I did, he has only one eye!"

      The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed!"
      The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.

      The detective then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photo in her face for two seconds, pulled it back, and said, "What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"

      "Yes! He only has one ear!"

      The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face! Of course you can only see one ear! You're excused too!"
      The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.

      The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said,"This is probably a waste of time, but..." He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?"
      The blonde said, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses."

      "The detective frowned, took another look at the picture, and began looking at some of the papers in the folder. He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said, "You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"
      The blonde rolled her eyes and said,"Well, Hellooooooooooooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."

    • RE: Beware - Craiglist Freelancer wanted ...to work for nothing.

      Any preliminary design work that I may do for a potential client ALWAYS carries a copyright notice. If they decide to take my prelim work somewhere else for use it's a clear violation.

    • RE: Weird Windows 7 problem

      You've probably already checked this, but are the attributes set to Hidden for them? If you take a look at the directory from a DOS window are they in the folders? You could also take a look at ZTree (if you're familiar with the old XTree) to find and manipulate attributes/etc.

    • RE: What is the professional term you use?

      Depending on your state laws, you may not be able to use "Architectural" in any form (check with your state Architect's licensing board). While most of us (licensed architects) may not care, it only takes one complaint to become a BIG headache for you.

      Good luck!

    • RE: Virtual Building project?

      Sounds like a speculative project ("Spec") - develop everything you need (entitlements, zoning requirements, civil/architectural/structural/etc. engineering) prior to turning a spade of dirt, then try and sell it to someone who'll actually fund the final development and construction. Nice work if you can get it!

    • RE: Anyone got any experience with ZumoDrive?

      I use CrashPlan - great service at a very reasonable price, and nobody (at least a year ago) could back up external drives except CrashPlan. The initial backup took quite a bit of time (based on how much of my existing (ie. YEARS of) files I wanted them to back up) but now it's very unobtrusive and I rarely even notice that it's going on in the background. Haven't had to bring anything back (yet) so I can't comment on restoring.
