Walnut Desk Project and Sketchup PDF file
I am building a Walnut desk for a customer and posted on a.b.p.w. two low
resolution pictures of the desk as it stands right now. I have attached a PDF file drawn on Sketchup. Some of you have wondered about the resolution of Sketchup. The print resolution comes out great when selecting ultra high resolution. So far the desk is partially assembled with only 28, 8mm x 50 mm Domino's and their friction fit. I wanted to be sure that every thing lined up correctly before gluing the pieces together. I'll also be treating the edges and sanding a bit before the glue up. There will also be 2 upper shelves that will set on top of the desk. The picture of the CAD drawing and the attached PDF file will explain it all, so to speak. |

Lew I would imagine a bunch of new free albums at your own webpage that is free with some ISPs. Or free accounts at: Photobucket Flickr ImageShack ImageDepot WebShots PhotoLava VillagePhotos MyPhotoAlbum ImageLoop Snapfish Tinypic FreeImageHosting ImageDeposit ImageTrail etc., etc. Those are just a few of the hundred or so that are out there now. Some of them will even let you post an MP3 or short video with sound as well. Where there is a will, there is a way. In this case, and easy way. Robert |

I wondered the same thing at first, as the jpegs were there and I could view
them automatically with Outlook Express. In order to find and view the .pdf file, I had to right click on the paper clip that OE uses to indicate that there are attachments and sure enough all of the jpegs were there along with the .pdf file. Hope this helps. Peter. "Chiefwoodworker" wrote in message ... Where is the PDF? Joe.....

As an example, had a company policy that required that any contact with a competitor had to be documented. Since I was in field sales, it was impossible not to come in contact with a competitor. My file was full of letters addressed to management that basically took the following form: ================================================== ============ On date, met competitor name in a public restroom, located location. No business was discussed. Signed: Lew Date:today's date ================================================== ============ Kept the lawyers happy and documented you were doing something, so it was NBD.

Cuomo". "The agreements resulted from an eight-month investigation and sting operation in which undercover agents from Mr. Cuomo’s office, posing as subscribers, complained to Internet providers that they were allowing child pornography to proliferate online, despite customer service agreements that discouraged such activity. Verizon, for example, warns its users that they risk losing their service if they transmit or disseminate sexually exploitative images of children. After the companies ignored the investigators’ complaints, the attorney general’s office surfaced, threatening charges of fraud and deceptive business practices. The companies agreed to cooperate and began weeks of negotiations." Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/10/ny...0internet.html -- Jack Novak Buffalo, NY - USA |

Absolutely no censorship involved. The ISP's made a business decision to withdraw services from the market in order to comply with the law. If the market chooses to penalize the ISPs for their business decision, that is quite another matter. Lew |

The sad thing is that you can't stop child pornography from
proliferating. Every once in a while (usually election time) some politician pulls a stunt like this under the guise of "think of the children". Pedophiles used to trade photos and video tapes by snail mail before they could do it on the internet. Today there are dozens of underground, encrypted networks that use the internet for transport. Even if you remove the internet you'll still have pedophiles trading porn. If somebody really wanted to fix the problem then they'd allow people to view any type of porn and heavily penalize people who make kiddie porn. Having laws that make "seeing" something illegal only serve to keep the problem hidden. In contrast, if it weren't illegal to view, you would have plenty of citizen groups looking at it and trying to identify the victims/perpetrators. There might even be some effort to develop software that helps people filter it before it gets accidentally downloaded. Then maybe some headway could be made on the problem. Child porn is also one of the few things you can possess, without your knowledge, and end up being arrested for. The established premise has always been that your instantly guilty. If someone were to put an "illegal" photo on ABPW and you were to view it without knowing, it can stay on your hard drive indefinitely and be recovered with forensic tools. There have been dozens of cases where innocent people were found or though to possess it. Like the article below: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/reg...icleid=1101074 |

: "Lew Hodgett" wrote It is the ISP's way of avoiding litigation rather than any peverted form of censorship. A real comforting thought there, Lew. One of the problems the ISPs face is called "Common Carrier" status. This means they are held not liable for information transmitted across their network, just as UPS is not responsible for the illegal drugs and guns they unknowingly ship. The problem comes when the ISPs start censoring the contents of newsgroups. At this point they have direct (and implied) knowledge of the contents of the newsgroups and the traffic on their networks, and can be held liable for these contents. The lose the Common Carrier protected status. They could have done the right thing and kicked the users of their networks off when they got the complaints, but instead took the easy way out by killing the entire newsgroups. |

Exactly the same as the Mayor of Toronto, who has managed to convince his council compadres to totally ban all licensed guns, manufacture of them and all shooting ranges within the Toronto city limits. The end result being that his ban will have absolutely no effect or deterrent on those people using guns to commit crimes within the city limits. His message to one local Olympic shooter and one local Paralympics shooter: "Go find some other place to practice." Yup, initially I voted for the guy and my only comment there is that absolute power corrupts absolutely and that I feel like a fool now. |
