clipper's remarks: Explanation on how hex codes work.

I fail to see what rory has to do with this subject, but no matter.

Everyone involved with web design should know what hex codes are: 6-digit codes for colors. However, most people simply use a hex code chart or a graphic program to produce the codes, without really understanding them.

Hex codes use 16 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

Zero, "0" is the total absence of a color, whereas F is 15 times the intensity of the color of 0. Double 0 (00) is zero hue. FF is pure color.

A hex code has 6 total values, making it XXYYZZ. XX represents the red intensity, YY represents the green intensity, and ZZ represents the blue intensity.

If the code is FFFFFF, it means the intensity is at the utmost, making it absolutely white. On the contrary, if the code is 000000, there is total absence of color, making it black.

FF0000 would be red, since the red is set at the highest intensity, and there is complete absence of green and blue. Blue is 0000FF, since red and green is absent and blue is set at the highest intensity. Green is 00FF00, since green is the highest intensity, and red and blue are absent.

The Ultimate Rejection Letter

Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA  34109

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16.  After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department. 

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters.  With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. 

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time.  Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August.  I look forward to seeing you then. 

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen
