If I told you that I was listening when Weird Al sent in his first tapes to Doctor Demento, would that make me nerdy enough? I don't know! That was my question. It is definitely either nerdy or geeky but which is it? HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

THIS is a short documentary about my life. You wish! Weird Al rocks, though. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Interesting. Based on experience it only takes the demonstration of a minimum of education to be labelled as either a nerd or a geek today. It can thus be concluded that knowledge is considered a "social shortcoming", at least if we take the word of ntrprnr as the eternal truth which of course we do.

So, do you consider yourself a nerd or a geek? HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Doesn't really answer the question. Does it? HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

I was just called a nerd over in Speakers Corner just because I said I could count to 1023 (or 1111111111) using my fingers. So, what's the difference between a nerd and a geek? Being a physicist and being proficient in several computer languages I suppose that I cannot elude at least one of the cathegories but what exactly is the difference?

Hmmm, more like 1111111111 Exactly!

Cool, thanks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good weather on Sunday.

Ehm... I don't normally do that which should be evident from my jump numbers. I think I'll go dust off my PLF. If it is a hybrid then I should be fine, though. The normal Tri is an easy canopy to land. Edit: Oh, and thanks.
-
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks.

I am trying my hand at CRW for the first time this weekend. The canopy is going to be a Triathlon hybrid or competition. Should I expect the landings to be dramatically different from the ordinary Tri? I thought that the main difference would be reinforcements and retractable pilot chute but my instructor warned me that it would land like sh*t. Having flown the normal Triathlon and flying a Spectre regularly I was wondering if his warning was just a 9-cell personality trying to describe a 7-cell landing or if the CRW Tris are really trimmed dramatically different.

Should the U.S. Declare English Our Official Language?

No, but I like to believe that passing legislation to this effect would have a reason. What would this reason be? You still haven't told me what it is... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde... -

Canada has a couple. Switzerland has 3. Actually Switzerland has four. Take a look at one of their bank notes. -
Think of it as a way of learning to pack. It is a nice feeling when you are able to get a brand new canopy securely in the bag on the forst attempt. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Surely one's view on Roe vs. Wade is of paramount importance as to whether or not one should work on the reconstruction of Iraq. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

We jump a C-206 and we spot the damn plane ourselves. We still need to ask permission from the pilot to jump, though. He might have info that we don't. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
