  1. Here is a picture of what I'm thinking of. It's a kite, but could one make such a canopy? I guess deployment would be dificult (probably would have to be two-staged or more). Packing would be horrible. Flight characteristics would be interesting. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  2. The transparent canopy idea got me thinking... How about a biplane canopy? Could make malfunctions interesting, how do you deal with a three-out situation! There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  3. Back on track... Yeah, I think it would be cool (maybe not practical, maybe not safe, but cool.) I would be suprised if someone havent made a material yet which can be used. I wouldn't be suprised if its ridicously expensive. How about just one or two transparent cells? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  4. Try to delete all cookies and temporary internet files. Also do a [shift]+F5 to reload the page. Might help There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  5. We have a saying in Norway. Everything opens in 200 km/t. Well almost everything. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  6. In many cases it's spyware that causes the computer to hang during shutdown. Spyware won't show up in control panel. If you haven't already downloaded and scanned your puter with Adaware, I strongly recomend it. If after scanning your system with Adaware (remember to run the web update) and scanning with an updated antivirus program, your system still won't shut down, it's most likely some of the programs your running. Look at what programs is running in the startup folder in your start menu. Also look in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->software->microsoft->windows->currentversion->run Remove things you don't need (like RealTray, remind.exe). If you're unsure if you need something, you could just edit the string and put REM at the begining of it. You don't mention what os you run. XP, 2000, NT, win98, win95, win311, OS/2?

  7. Mine has the speaker faced outwards. I can hear it in freefall fine. The pro dytter doesn't have a low-volume setting, so I think turning it the other way might make it a bit too low. Try both ways. and find what way you like. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  8. Stop looking, it's not something you will find. It's something that will come to you. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  9. Well, it would actually be some work involved in making them. I'm not fanatic about who can wear one, but it's a symbol of skydiving. Compare it with wearing a crusifix/cross necklace. You don't have to be a christian, but that what it symbolices. Christians may not be thrilled that many people wear them for fashion. Symbols are strong, but if it's misused they can loose their meaning. Take the swastica (nazi cross) as an example of how the sight of a symbol can make you feel. Don't underestimate the power of symbols. Closing pins are a symbol for our sport, and many skydivers feel strongly about it. It's not a holier than though issue, it's a "this is important for me" issue. It's a part of our identity. I gave one to my girlfriend. She's not a skydiver, but since she is very close to me I think it is right for her to wear one. It's a part of me as she is. There are only 10 types of people in the world.

  11. Here's what I did with my pro-dytter. (not a pro-tec, but almost identical). There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    There is a saying: If you can't beat them, join them. The recording industry has been trying to beat the internet... How hard is it to see that they have to use it, not fight it. They got themself to blame...poor bastards. Next they will probably rise prices on cd's to $100 to compensate for lost profits because of internet file sharing. That will keep the cash flowing There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  13. I got one worry about that design. More snag points. , then again, I'm no rigger. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Mini Links

    I thought all rapid links were stamped with a strength code from the manufacturer, so by reading the code a rigger should be able to tell if they can be used for skydiving or not. ?? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  15. My boss saw one my closing pin necklace that I make and asked me if I could deliver 60 of them for gifts to emploees at my company at a happening. I turned it down, because I think people wearing them should have some connection to the sport. I could have earned about $1000 on the deal. Currently the makeing of these necklaces is just a hobby. What do you think? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  16. Nearly at the bottom... Anyone fessing up and turning themself in yet? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Kazaa Lite

    The kazaa network suck. Good protocol, bad people. 90% of the people on kazaa are just downloading. Nobody is giving real upload speeds. I've started using eMule (on the eDonkey2000 net) It works great. No spyware. Possible to remote controle over web. Search for files on www.sharereactor.com. Simultaniously download from multiple sources. Imidiate sharing of incomplete files. Little garbage and good quality files.
  18. Barcelona...you GOT to see the La Sagrada Familia. Placa del englishe (or something like that) is nice to, but not a must....and oh yeah...everyone says Empuria rocks :) There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  19. {{{ Not anything wrong about this one }}} - Ask for a recomandation for a job at your former companys worst competitor. That will get their attention. {{{ anoying things to do }}} - You got your bosses email....how much spam does he get? Perfectly legal and untraceable, even unreversible. Just type in his email at a few porn sites, etc. {{{ The moral thing to do ... well depends... }}} - If you know of any illegal things going at your former employer...remember that as a good citizen you should report it to the police. (tax fraud, piracy software...). {{{ Slightly evil }}} - Call in an anonymous drug tip the next time your boss is going to Thailand (or somewhere). {{{ Real evil }}} Assuming your former boss is married. Send him anonymously roses home periodically. Spray a little womens perfume in his car. Call and hang up a coupple of times from a phone booth. His wife will probably suspect he is having an afair... {{ more evil }}} Sleep with his wife. {{{ surreal }}} Order a pizza with fish, curry, ham and jalepenos delivered to his door sunday morning at 07am. Pay for the pizza, but do it anonymously. You don't want to punish the poor pizza guy. Repeat once every 6 or 12 months. There are only 10 types of people in the world.

    No words...

    ...and that justifices striking residential areas with F-16 fighters to try and kill one suspect? Demolition thousands of homes in illegal occupied areas? Two sides to every story... There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  21. hmmm... You had to do a system recovery. Sure you don't wanna blame Micro$oft? Computers break and a hard disk WILL fail soner or later. Sorry about your pictures and personal files, that's the real loss. mp3's are replacable. Next time, make backups.

  22. Get an alti and scan it. Should be possible, but it will probably be neccesary to take off the needles Maybe get an old one. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  23. I would say the Hornet is nothing like a Sabre. I would NOT trade mine for a Sabre
  24. If you go applying for a loan, you don't eat lunch while doing it! I say she should have dropped the baby, and just showed the boobies. She would probably have gotten an even lower interess rate There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
  25. What about Dizzy? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
