  1. because a TIFF is a lossless file. JPG is lossy. doing some reading on basic photo file types and comparisons could help you understand a lot. computers are the devil.
  2. they use the same basic balloon idea to launch their Airborne troops in Korea. it has a platform for (i think) 6 jumpers and is controlled by a winch. it avoids costly aircraft maintenance and large DZs. i could've sworn i saw a similar set up for sale here in the classifieds a year or so ago, as well. good luck with yours!
  3. i didn't have any trouble figuring out what time it was before hand from iraq. thanks, Jason... C-Ya' on the bridge.

    Video Review

    well, i see that everyone in MD got to see it. thanks for sharing the luv.
  6. or possibly... more training just breeds the thinking... "i 'trained' for this, so i'm 'ready' and will be fine dealing with the unknown." p.s. i AM invincible.
  7. i don't remeber the numbers but they were the ones between my shoulder blades. i fell 35ft and landed with my back perpendicular across a tree stump. heal fast!
  8. right tib/fib (motorcycle) scapula, 2 vertabrae, 6 ribs and a bonus collapsed lung (tree accident) no parachuting busts.
  9. pretty much... i just BASE jump because i'm a total loser otherwise and when people find out i that i jump they are suddenly intrigued and think i'm neat. then i trick them into buying me drinks. oh, and chicks dig it too.
  10. werd... thanks dudes, it was good seeing y'all... not having to climb is bitchin' too. lemme know what's on the menu for thurs... ~E
  11. yo! i just left nappy a message, but lemme know if you or anyone is up for a jump or two tomorrow (tues) or thursday night... or at least some beers... i'll be in springfield, va for the week... til i head back to the war. werd. ~Elliot
  12. total bummer. fly free.

    TF incident

    i read the news this morning... i hope for a speedy recovery. be safe.
  14. hell, my chest strap buckle can open a beer if i needed a tool. you got me on the quicklinks... but i don't do anything with those other than make sure they're not loose. but you're right, if i had a t-stake, it would probably prevent some IEDs from blowing up around me... ...plenty of sand here.
  15. first, you won't need it... somebody's got a car battery you can use... second, airport security is far from a constant. i flew to germany last summer with my rig on, hook knife and all. not so much as a second look. third, if you do want a stake... they're about $0.99 at kmart for a 4-pack. check the camping section.
  16. yo, kitty! i would if i could, but i'll still be stuck trying to clean up that mess of a war they call OIF. see ya' after i get back... ~E
  17. let ME guess... being so condescending towards Americans, you must be an asshole, right? that was a joke, too.
  18. thanks for the link... all said and done... i say bravo to Jeb. fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. and if you can't fuck 'em, tell 'em a joke. p.s. geraldo is a piece of shit. he should've stuck with gay westerns...
  19. ditto, geraldo doesn't come in so good in saddam's palace.
  20. yes, Kathy is great at responding via email. wonderful peeps. beautiful rigs too.
  21. very, very nice, Ray! man, and i thought my masking tape (toggle gate) was a good idea...
  22. man, total bummer. thanks for the update and good luck in court.
  23. duh, everybody knows it's all about the socks. the boots don't really matter. that's why i've always preferred white cotton socks and a lightweight pair of Vans.
  24. more often children like to act like grown men acting like children. but thanks, every new child makes the rest of us feel older and wiser. at least donald has a job.
  25. totally bitchin'. nice job russel and crew.
