Back in the late 1600's, the Dutch invented the two-sheet mold.   The average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms was 44".  Many molds at that time were around 17" front to back because the laid lines and watermarks had to run from left to right.  Sounds big?...well to maximize the efficiency of paper making, a sheet this big was made, and then quartered, forming four 8.5" x 11" pieces. \n\nThis was well before paper machines dominated hand made paper labor.   A couple centuries later when machines dominated the trade (although many hand made paper makers still existed), and the United States decided on a standard paper size, they stuck with the same size so as to keep the hand made paper makers in business.\n\nOddly enough, the United States used two different sizes - the 8" x 10.5" and the 8.5" x 11".   Separate committees came up with separate standards, the 8" x 10.5" for the government and the 8.5" x 11" for the rest of us.  Once these committees found out about each other a couple years later, they agreed to disagree until the early 1980's when Reagan finally proclaimed that the 8.5" x 11" was the official standard sized paper.\n\nUnited States History\n\nNot until World War I or shortly after was a standard paper size agreed to in the United States.   Interestingly enough, within six months of each other, two different paper sizes were set as the standard; one for the government and one for the rest of us. \n\n1.   In 1921, the first director of the Bureau of the Budget established an interagency advisory group with the President's approval called the Permanent Conference on Printing which established the 8" x 10½" as the general U.S. government letterhead standard.   This extended an earlier establishment made by the former President Hoover, the Secretary of Commerce at the time, who established the 8" x 10½" as the standard letterhead size for his department. \n\n2.   Now, during the same year, a Committee on the Simplification of Paper Sizes consisting of printing industry representatives was appointed to work with the Bureau of Standards as part of Hoover's program for the Elimination of Waste in Industry.   This group came up with basic sizes for all types of printing and writing papers.  The size for "letter" was a 17" x 22" sheet while the "legal" size was 17" x 28" sheet.  The later known U.S. letter format was these sizes halved (8 ½" x 11" and 8 ½" by 14").\n\nEven in the selection of the 8 ½" x 11", no special analysis was made to prove this was the optimum size for commercial letterhead.   The Committee that developed the sizes did so using one objective - "to reduce inventory requirements for paper into sizes which would cut from a minimum trimming waste."

Ok.... all packets, including email packets have a fixed size... yes there is the header and stuff but for transmission purposes a TCP/IP packet is a fixed size... thus your smallest message would end up as being fixed in size... in this case 4kb.\n\n2. Computers use multiples powers of 2 in databits because of the binary system used. Thus a multiple of 2^12 would be 4096.\n\nSecond part might be difficult or impossible to do.

I think they were 2 inches by 2-5/8 inches, as articles state that kids would trim their Topps cards (2-5/8 inches by 3-5/8 inches) down to fit their Bowman cards. Topps bought out Bowman in 1956 and in 1957 standardized all US card making to 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches.

You should use 8.5 inches by 11 inches letter size paper for your resume.\n\nYou should think about getting the better quality paper that is made for resumes.  It is about 20 cents a sheet but it looks and feels much nicer.

Times New Roman, Arial, Garamond, Trebuchet MS, or Verdana, at size of 12 (or 11 based on original fotn design).\nReadability and neatness is key in an essay paper. Remember to double space your paper, and include indentations where are needed, and margins. (Preferably 1inch top, bottom, left, and right sides).

It's twice the size of A4. Wikipedia on 'ISO 216' has a nice graph showing the different sizes. For A3 it's 297 × 420mm.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216
