  1. Not off the top of my head, but I do know when the batteries were last replaced and that on startup I get 6.38 volts. Good enough for me.
  2. A guy at Perris put himself in a wheelchair jumping a Velocity 90 loaded at about 2.0. He had approximately 300 jumps. He wasn't stopped from jumping the canopy at one of the USA's biggest DZs, so it does happen .
  3. It doesn't work. The createTextRange() function was IE-specific, and while Mozilla variants appear to support it, they don't appear to support the copy to clipboard functionality needed. That's the execCommand("Copy");. function postShortcut(post_id) { document.all.post_shortcut.value = 'http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=' + post_id + '#' + post_id; document.all.post_shortcut.createTextRange().execCommand("Copy"); }
  4. In order: Séan Connery Pierce Brosnan Timothy Dalton Roger Moore Surely George Lazenby is only there as a joke? The thing I liked most about Connery's portrayal was the cruel edge he brought to the part.
  5. Hadn't heard that one before!
  6. He probably does, but to the best of my knowledge, all "food grade silicone" means is that it doesn't contain hydrocarbons. If you go to your local hardware store & ask, they almost certainly have a silicone lubricant sans hydrocarbons... mine did.
  7. Also, I belive that the hard housings often come from the factory with some oil residue inside, which would pick up dust & dirt from the air. And yes, I clean my cutaway cables approximately every thirty days.
  8. Would you be able to persuade him to stick that up on Skydiving Movies?
  9. The map contains two Australias. Apparently I'm only in the Eastern version.
  10. Or, in more words: only date women who are at least reasonably happy with who they are and are willing to take responsibility for their own lives. That probably applies to choosing guys too.
  11. Second. It's beaten by the Philosopher's Drinking Song:
  12. It's been debated here, though not completely. edit 'coz I misrepresented the thread.
  13. Don't forget to bring $40 for the case of you'll be putting on .
  14. Best is just to ask around - I don't know who's in town at the moment... I won't be there this weekend - next weekend though.
  15. If you're on a GSM network, you can't have anonymous text messages unless your service provider is playing silly buggers with some advertising*. * which would be illegal in the Ireland and the UK. Dunno about the Land of The Free©.
  16. There's a couple of doctors on the DZ. I don't think any are GPs, but they should at least be able to direct you to an aviation-knowledgable professional that could give your friend a sensible opinion.
  17. You can kip on my sofa for the night. I won't be heading out until the evening of the 26th - we're training on the 27th & 28th.
  18. Pseudo-ephidrine (Sudafed) is what most people use for blocked sinuses. However, if her problem was caused by something permanent, rather than just a bit of a cold, this may not help. I'd suggest chatting to a doctor.
