IHFB I know we don't always see things the same way, but if I heard an engineer say 1.3 might be the answer
If you are an engineer who makes ambiguous statements, you are not doing your job properly... People rely on your (our) 'statements': you are liable to be sued if you get it wrong. (Unless you can argue a 'best practice' defence.Yes there's room for manoeuvre on a truly innovative scheme, but as J Rothwell often comments/implies; the measurement of heat was settled at least 150 years ago.

By "THAT container" I assume you mean the walled off customer site with the walls that do not reach the ceiling. Right?
I'd like to clarify that. The other "container" is the blue shipping container with the equipment in it.
No he means "THAT" container not that other 'container' that you refer to.

Shane - Don't get me started on the correct use of that particular phrase...

Apparently the capitalised You is also feature of several Slavic languages too.
But yes, when it comes to English pronouns, just the 'I'.
The one exception when a pronoun is capitalised is 'He' (referring to the christian God), or 'You' (again only when referring to the christian God).
You are also correct about salutations, but these are basically restricted to 'Dear Sir', 'Dear Madam'.
-
Yes you can replace a noun (ie. chair) with a pronoun (ie. it), but so what? Who cares?
This is about your unique way of capitalising "you" in the middle of sentences. "You" has never been a salutation, and never will be.
Where have you ever seen anyone do similar? - Nowhere! It's just you that does it! Either you had a crap teacher, or you can't remember your lessons.
Look: you can carry on writing as you choose, it just makes you look silly each time you capitalise a "you"... I'm just trying to help you out really.

If You (sic) can point me to reliable sources, which say: "No, this is grammatically wrong in internet forums", I might switch...
In a case of 'exception proving the rule' your usage is not mentioned anywhere in here:

Also, check out some old formal letters where your proposed usage is not apparent:

LOL. Now I'm being lectured about my native language by a (very good) non-native speaker! Hilarious.
So what you are essentially saying is that if someone transcribes spoken word into text, then all the verbal pronouns magically become written salutations?
More like Damn Wrong Man.
You are probably just mixing English up with German, which does capitalise pronouns.*
In fact, I bet you 20 quarkXs and 5 APCO 'talking points' memos, that you cannot find one published example of a capitalised mid-sentence "you".
* I think. I don't speak German. Despite their best efforts.
-
The problem is that you are using it as a pronoun - not a salutation.
-
What's the odds that 'damn right man' keeps butchering the English language by capitalising all pronouns?

That's why I like large results, both absolute power *and* energy *and* high COP. And of course, a very robust calorimetric method. I am pretty convinced I have not seen such a thing. Jed will say I don't look enough but in actuality I do.
Did you read that 100W+ lenr paper that JedRothwell keeps on giving you the link to? What are you opinions on that?
I take it that your silence means that you didn't bother to read it?

:crazy: Ummm... What?
Next you'll be conflating COP and 'Q factor' again...

But as soon as the first graduate student is granted onto the project, the exception no longer applies. At least that's how I understand it.
I have heard the Mills himself has similar views, however, as long as infringing acts are non-commerical, researchers (of any description) can do what they like without needing any form of licence...
But if commercial products are later spun out of that research, they will likely have a hard time defending the resulting patent suit. -
All machines have to be certified by government safety regulators and by UL.
Please show me a law that says 'all machines' must be certified by the government or UL

Sounds about right.
Re. Scanners... 30,000 A4 pages scanned at 600dpi (archive quality) in 24bit colour, and saved as a bitmap would take up

IH has submitted 3 terabytes of data for that, and so far Rossi nothing. What does that tell you?
It tells me that someone's been filming lots of HD videos (or doesn't know how to use a scanner properly), and that some IH lawyer is having a laugh.
