  1. Hello computer peeps. I'm trying to clean up my Mom's computer. The grandkids have downloaded so much crap (games, messengers, spyware, etc) that her computer is at a crawl. At startup, at least 15 different program start and show up in the tray. I can't seem to find the startup file to delete all the un-needed programs. I find lots of files called startup, but none seem to be the correct ones. Thanks for your help.
  2. It is possible, and has been done a couple times at Bridge Day. You really should not do that out of a plane though. To much airspeed, and will likely hurt, and possibly damage your canopy. A camera has been packed into canopies before, so if you are looking to get that angle, it is possible. Simply mount (tie) the camera one at a line attachement point above the slider. The canopy will open fine, and if you attachedd the camera well, it will survive and get the shot. Good luck.
  3. Yee hah & way to go!

    *** "I would imagine" It appears Johnny, that you spend a lot of time imagining. How many times do you think you will re-post the same thing? So the air gets pushed in through the little hole? Very interesting. Keep up the good work. Edited to add: Tom, he started it.

    AHhhh, the old PC debate returns to the forums Via Winkleport. You really must listen to yourself more often if that is the dumbest thing you have ever heard. Since the thread and debate has been had before, I'll just let anyone who is (still) interested go back and read the thread. As I recall though, the genreal concensus was that whatever you said was right, and everyone else was wrong, reality not withstanding. 2 things we know for sure. 1. A PC works on the priciple of lift. 2. A PC will inflate using f-111 in place of the mesh. (how does that air get scooped up into the pc if there are no holes?
  6. ***"I just want to make mine a little bigger" Snicker, snicker.
  7. Birdbrain is definitely a troll, and you know what we do with trolls in these parts.................Get a rope and hang em! Seriously, there is no way this guy is a skydiver. Nobody that ignorant or paranoid could make it onto, or back off of a DZ. Besides, everyone knows that skydiving is fo dem carzy honkys.
  8. Hey brick, I'm 250, and have 1000+ jumps on each of two sets of mini risers with slinks. they won't break. Mini links will also hold up fine if you put them on correctly. There is no reason to be scared of slinks or mini links because of your size, IF they are installed properly.
  9. I hate to see anyone get hurt, especially on that cliff. Its a nasty one to bounce off of, and pretty difficult to get rescue too. I actually considered doing slider ups off of that, but never did. A 3 second delay would get you a lot further away from the wall, but any slider hang up would be ugly as the talus extends out a long way. Also, after a recent Perrine trip I noticed that my old Fox has a much more noticable snivel (on 3 sec delays) than it did 5 years ago. That little difference is all it would take to buy some rocks at SL. Heal fast. I hope he didn't land on a barrel cactus.
  10. *** "I think that one of the things you learn with experience is that you aren't always right." Amen. The only thing that I know I've learned is that there will always be more to learn.
  11. Eagle-dung, Your writing and thought process remind me of Jackie Chiles (the lawyer on Seinfeld). Unfortunately you don't seem to be trying to be funny with what you write, and that is sad. It is pretty pathetic that you really think that this women did not bring this on herself. Personally, I don't care for most cops, and yeah, I think the tazering was a little premature, but if you really believe that this incident was caused by anything other than speeding and having an attitude (I'm sure you think that she acted propally) you are in worse shape than anyone could imagine. The stero excuse is old, wrong, and simply stupid. Just as you cannot hear the sound of a dog wistle (can you?) a radar wave is WAY to far up the frequency range to "hear" a stereo. Too bad it doesn't hurt to be so illogical.
  12. *** Direct decsendant of Geronimo and Dolly Madison Hi Cliff, I see your sig line continues to grow. You must have some serious issues with self worth that you need to keep making up relathioships with all of the supposed royalty and now, an indian, and of course, a famous American snack cake. If I were to make up famous relatives to brag about, I would tell everyone that Bill Gates was my great uncle, and that Gloria Vanderbilt was my sister's husband's sister. I guess its easier to make up stuff that no one cares about, or verify, but mostly, that nobody cares about. Tell us about your days when you invented the orange juicer and cotton seed husker. Jeesh. I've heard it all on this thread.
  13. *** "If the book contains the definition you describe then the book is wrong" Yes Cliff, Merrian-Webster must be wrong if you said so. What do THEY know. Whatever you say is the only real truth, at least in your own personal reality which obviously differs greatly to the rest of us. Blood Of Melenek II? Sounds like a cheap B- horror film, or a second rate, third tier royalty wannabe. Lets see, Ethiopia 1000 years ago was a third world country not even bright enough to feed itself. Hmmm, Ethiopia today...... a third world country not bright enough to feed iteself looking for handouts from the countries who have actually advanced in the last 1000 years. Nice work you guys!
  14. Hello anonymous nobody, You've twice posted some smack that nobody knows what sent poor JT into the drink. Its funny that the unusually loud, arrogant, and smart alec JT has not put anything about his close brush with death. Two very experienced jumpers have posted their first hand account of what they actually saw. No one has any reason to doubt them, as they have very good credentials. You have no name, no credentials, and offer no explanations. Therefore, you have no voice, and add nothing to the discussion. It can only be complacency, or stupidity. No one with a brain hums it into the water wearing a camera on purpose. BTW, did the camera surrvive?
  15. OK Keely, You got me on that one. Fiats are not on par with Ferrari, but if it was designed and built in Africa, it would be the best of the best on that continent.
  16. "great and mighty Melenek II "Conquering Lion of Judah" and "Elect of God". Yeah, great and mighty. What an ego. A todays world comparison would have Melenek asking if you want a spoon straw with your Slurpee.
  17. *** "When an artist is moving 1 million plus records there are more than Black people buying the record." It seems like you must have great information sources to know who is buying what. Or perhaps you are not aware that there are 40 million blacks in the US, of which a mere 2.5 percent buying the same album would be 1 million units. I forget who made the comment, but perhaps the progeny of slaves only steal their music rather than participate in the white mans economy? I agree that lots of white rebelious teens are buying hip hop. But R&B and gospel? Did you skydive well, or did you make a good skydive? I'm no English major, but I'm pretty certain that it was grammatically acceptable the way that I worte it. People on these board typically only make grammar or spelling corrections when they have a weak argument. It is a way to divert attention from the real discussion.
  18. *** "As far as WET it really wouldn't differ from existing networks and I really wouldn't care" It wouldn't? I think that is giving a bit too much credit to them white folk. If there was a WET, it would be considerably different, just as BET is considerably different in its efforts to pander to black people. Would WET not want to create its own particular vernacular that only white people really understand? What about the advertisments? No more "I'm lovin it", and of course, only white people are permitted to be on the shows, news, etc. Any music programming would be white only. No more hip hop, except Eminem of course. I really don't care that there is BET. However, BET is a big part of the problem the black community has with not being upwardly mobile. BET sells the ideas that are central to the social problems of the black community. Bling bling, keep it real, $1,000 spinning rims, smack yo' bitch, pimps and hos, gangsta this and that, 40's. Where are the shows on BET that display an average middle class black family who speaks good English, their kids getting straight As and planning for college, and otherwise being completely ordinary people? There are none. It doesn't sell and BET is self admittedly not striving for social change. Bill Cosby is one of the few willing to tell it like it is. But just like there are special interests that maintain the staus quo in Congress, the same is true for the social enviroment of the overall black community. Until Jesse J, Sharpton, and their ilk quit inciting racial tensions for profit, nothing is going to change.
  19. Thank you. I have the binding tape folder from Paragear, although I found them on e-bay later for half price. Is the 112w-114 substantially the same machine?

    Hey whats up? May all your choices be the right ones. Only you can know and know when. Best wishes to you and the family. Tree Base610
  21. Can anyone please reccomend their favorite 2 needle machine. A dedicated binding tape setup is what I am shooting for. So many machines available, but which ones work well? Thanks
  22. Lose the stickers. The can only hurt your efforts. There are severl areas and objects where having stickers is an open invitation to get busted. Besides, other than the cops, who do you think cares about your hobby? Also, there are precious few towers that can be day blazed. At night it is nearly impossible to see climbers on a tower. By day it is hard to miss them if you glance at a tower. Glad you got away. In all likelihood the cops came out on another call and you just happened to be there. If it happens again go ahead and jump. You will get the same charge anyhow, so you might as well get a jump in.
  23. A sacrificial post. Very nice work. (Stands applauding)
  24. Take a taxi into town. Tell them that you want to go to the ferr that goes to Kjewrag. It helps to tell them you are a jumper. Then, walk a few blocks and find a hotel, or a bar, whichever you prefer to spend the night in. Get up early and shop for beer and food, as the campground is very expensive. take at least a case per day of jumping. Then, catch the early ferry to Kjerag. It about 4-1/2 hours, and a great trip. Have fun.
