Try misc.test -- it's more useful, anyway, in that it tells you how

What a nice contribution !

Personnaly I'm particularly proud of this one:

Bob.

(Notice that it works in all languages)

I am somewhat concerned that people have been redistributing this
palindrome without attribution.  Please don't do so.  And if you get
a copy of my palindrome without my name on it, I would appreciate it
if you mention my objection to whoever sends it to you.

Your answer is correct, the additional part that you were thinking of

original P.S.) without somebody spelling it out for you with a smiley
(I guess if your's is a joke then I am guilty, too)?  CHILL OUT!  That

teenagers sending me some email)!  That type of agreement is probably
not even legal and definitely not enforcible anyway.

BTW, the original idea is *not* a joke and in the last 2 years (about
3 "runs" of kids through my neighborhood) every house now has numbers
on the curb (some corner houses even bought 2).  If anybody does try
this please send me email about how it worked for you BUT DO NOT SEND

The other possibility is to use a proffesional to research the name for you. 
That is typically part of the service you pay for when you incorporate. You 
can get the lawyer to do the search even if it's just for a sole
proprietorship.

I found out the name of a name search place in my area and asked them to 
do it and I managed to bypass the lawyer at the same time so it was cheaper.

BTW I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada but the rules are basically the same 
for the USA.

I asked them to search for comapany names and trade marks would conflict with 
the name that I wanted. It was a good thing because there was a trade mark 
on the exact name I had initially chosen. So, have a backup name in mind. 
The reason I went to all the trouble is because I have a sole proprietorship 
currently and I will probably incorporate at a later time. I will not need to
change the name since it is now registered with the province and any other 
company would be foolish to want to use the same name as I am.

I am most distressed about the current thread that is taking place in 
this group.  It seems that a discussion is taking place that should be 
directed elsewhere.  Misc.entrepreneurs is/should be concerned with 
making money and creating businesses-not the discussion(with out merit, 
with out answers,without personal experience in the business world) of 
problems without(action) by many of the hand wringers on the net.  Go 
watch cartoons on tv or use your time that you spend discussing open 
loops to do someting that creates.  Just my two cents.

Regards.

Gary.

If it does, you need to find another shop.  The shops I use all
accept the sign image as either a DXF or TIFF file at no extra
charge.  The charge by the size of the output and the number of
colors.  The shop I use the most charges about $60 to make a 
3X6" banner with 3 colors.

The standard lettering should be fairly cheap at any modern sign shop.
The custom logos are a different story - any custom artwork or
digitization required will add a lot to the cost.  If you can't find a
local shop, one place that can supply vinyl sign lettering is

It would be grateful if you could clarify us some business terms, such as:
I.C.P.O - Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order
R.W.A.B - Ready Willing Ability Buy
R.W.A.S -                       Sell
What items do documents include? We badly need tipical forms of above documents.

I have a very small (one person, soon to be about a 5 person) systems management
consulting company.  How much general commercial liability insurance should
I carry?  One subcontracting agreement that has been presented to me calls
for $2 million - does that seem excessive?

Thanks.

Scott

I've heard stuff about it from people on the net.  Seems like some sort of
wholesale buying club or something.  The best advice is to thoroughly check out
the company that is backing this - their debt load, profits, growth, are they
public, etc.  This organization I believe is an MLM.  The reason I mention the
"are they public" is that many times a public company will act more on the
wants of their shareholders than on the distributor force.  I suggest getting
involved with privately owned suppliers only.  

If you want more advice e-mail me.
