  1. damn, that is a sweet photo! Happy birthday dude. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
  2. I dont currently jump with an RSL, I had it removed before jump 100 after my second chop, ... I fly a FF2 which is really clean, very few if any snag points. I have thought this through quite abit, and know atleast one camera flyer that backs up my thoughts on this, .. I think that if I have entanglement w/ main I should chop the helmet before the main to avoid the minor inconvenience of getting my head ripped off. As mentioned by miami in above post, that leaves the RSL to deploy your reserve unstable and cause an entanglement during that deployment which is clearly a bad situation, .. I have made my own choice that skyhook changes a couple things about the reserve deployment and as soon as my new Vector III is ready to go (soon!) I will continue to jump my FF2 w/ the skyhook installed... But that's just me, and I clearly dont have alot of experience with this stuff, only my own interpretation of risks levels involved with the different choices. FGF #??? I miss the sky...

  10. Info on RAID, be careful what you choose, some of the options are pretty unstable and can cause you to loose alot of data, others can keep your data safe even in the event of a drive failure. If you stripe your drives (RAID 0) (make more than 1 hard drive into one logical drive by evenly splitting (striping) the data between them) and you loose any one of those drives, everything you have is lost.. I never use this, to me it's just too much of a risk to say that all of my drives in a system will not fail, any one of them can become the weak link... Much more risky than 1 drive IMO. The big advantage is that this will increase your hard drive read/write speeds quite a bit.. If you mirror your drive (RAID 1) (make it so that two drives are always kept identical) you obviously only get the space of one drive, but everything is much more secure since one drive can die and the other drive still has everything. Disadvantage is that you can loose speed as the computer writes everything twice. Then you have RAID 0+1, this is just stupid IMO. I like the striping w/ parity option (RAID 5) , this requires atleast 3 drives, one of those drives is a parity drive and all the others in the set are used for actual storage space... You have less unusable space than you do with RAID 1, it's faster than RAID 1, not as fast as RAID 0 (the more drives the faster it is), and you can loose a drive and the system will not loose data... Raid 5 kicks ass as long as your controller is good and fast . FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

  25. actually, I take that back, I saw a melted battery ONCE, and that was onboard my submarine when we had some "flooding" and this one Smart-UPS 1400 found itself half submerged, power secured, and supplying the submerged things plugged into it off of it's battery ... that was a mess.
