File locking is something I had not thought of. The fact the Sumatra is faster than Acrobat is a huge plus. I am wondering if you have tried Foxit reader. I use it because of the load time decrease. I will have to try this one out.

Love the post. The title made me laugh and the content is good for those not aware of e-mail spam or the different types of it.

Comment on Dell System Boards replaced with Malware by Karl Beiler

This story was disappointing when it was first released. I have had very good experiences with Dell in the past. I was not surprised though. All it takes is one negligent employee to allow access for someone who should not have it. Even an irresponsible employee doing things with a master that they shouldn’t could cause this kind of thing. It is scary to think that you can spend thousands on a new server, only to have it infect much of your network and cause hours of headaches.

Comment on A Simple Guide to Power Factor by Nate Monyer

I am going to say that another analogy that might help you understand power factor a little better is the beer foam analogy. It is another very common one and can be referenced here: http://www.powerstudies.com/articles/PowerFactorBasics.pdf
It discusses the wasted “foam” on the top of the glass and should help you understand a little better than trying to relate it in terms of “coal”

Where does the energy go? I need to understand the energy balance.
Neglecting losses consider the following inductive load with a pf of 0.7.
Say the generator is procuding 10 VA and 10 VA = X lbs. of coal.
The load is doing .7 Watt of work which requires .7 X lbs. of coal.
In this case if X lbs of coal are are burned to do the work required for the the equivalent of 0.7 X lbs of coal, where did the 0.3 lbs of coal go?
Help please,
Thanks you.
