  1. Considering what Erk (Phree) does for a living, I think he kinda' understands. As for the NSA cracking 128/256 in those amounts of times, trust me, they've got some serious big-iron sitting in their computer rooms. They don't have anything listed on the Top 500, but if oil companies and the National Oceanographic institute have iron running in the top 40, you can bet the NSA has some nice toys sitting around. Never say it isn't possible...Hell, 512-bit RSA was broken in one week back in 99 with a Cray that wasn't that impressive considering what's available today. Linky Technology has gotten considerably faster since then. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  2. What he said.... Also, what you might try doing is reinstalling the latest service pack if it's 2K or XP. Sometimes that's a life-saver. Also, update the drivers for all of your hardware. I was having an evil time with my PC a while back, it started out of the blue. I updated the Catalyst drivers for my Radeon 9800 video card and haven't had a prob since.

    Damn Allergies

    What he said. When my allergies go nuts and I'm horny for some air I just hit some hop & pops from around 4K. Careful though, everyone is different, 4K doesn't bother me when I'm congested much. And I can still get almost 15 seconds from it. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Nitro 108

    you mean like a pack of wolves on a three legged cat right?? Like white on rice. It was really a phenomenal wing...too bad it wasn't 20' bigger. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  10. I jump a Stiletto with mine. It's a 190 loaded at 1.4. So far I've never had line-twists on any of my WS deployments *knocking on wood*. However, that being said, it can be a really busy opening at times. I'm currently shopping around for another canopy and was looking at a CF2, but I liked a Nitro demo so much that I may see if I can get a larger Nitron. I might try out a Pilot 170 as well...

    Nitro 108

    I almost completely forgot about this... I got a Nitro 150 from Beezy as there was no 170 available from HiPer like there is from Precision. My normal canopy is a Stiletto 190 loaded at ~1.4, and I've had more than a few jumps on a CF@-169 and some other 170's. I decided what the heck and tried out the 150, which I put 9 jumps on. Packing was super easy, but since it uses non-cascaded lines I was really careful about making sure all those lines stayed in the center of the pack job. I used my normal psycho-pack. Openings were like buttah! A bit faster than my Stiletto, and way faster than the CF2, but still very nicely done. The canopy always opened on-heading and didn't hunt anywhere near as much as my Stiletto. Just a bit of hip input was all it needed. I'll skip the flight as I really have nothing to compare it to considering the wing-loading. The landings however were phenomenal. Plenty of flare and I never had to run it out, even during low winds. However, not being used to flying at 1.75 it was a bit of a trick keeping it wings-level as it really wanted to go where I told it. All in all, it's a wonderful canopy, and was really well-behaved on one wingsuit jump I took it on, but it's too much for me at my experience level right now. I could see several instances where that kind of performance could get away from me. If they had a 170 I'd be all over it like a hobo on a ham sammich. My next step will be to try the Nitron 170 from Precision. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  17. It goes a little beyond just being a "sweet site" for some of us, Mike. As for me, I've made life-long friends.

  19. My name is Inigo Montoya, you Kill -9 my process, prepare to Vi. The script posted right above this post is the bomb-diggity.
  20. Yeah, I've got some thoughts, Steve.... Now I can handle Katiebear having the same color pattern on her BirdMan suit as I do because, well, she's Katie and she's my . But is there really someone in OK with the same colors as moi? Damn....that's freaky. I need to get my booty out to Airtight and check that place out. As for the overall poster, damn nice.
  21. I go Sherman, through Bells, into Whitewright. I don't know the #'s, I just know how to get there. I may have to show up this weekend, as a matter of fact. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  22. 20 minutes?! damn, Aggie....I drive hella fast, but you must never bring the needle under 100. Psst....it's more like 30-40 mins from Sherman. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  23. Ahem! Who had to go into a stand to catch you the last time we jumped together? Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
