Of course it isn't easy. That's why it keeps coming up in the topical forums. In fact, it it being argued right now.

And the rest. FWIW, the video was shot on a Hi-8 (analog) camera, then transfered to VHS, then onto my computer with a cut-rate capture card. I don't think I can do much better cleaning them up, but if anybody has some tips I'd appreciate it.

So this jump happend in October 2001. Normally I wouldn't bore you all with old photos, but I was playing with hooking my VCR up to my computer and got all of these nifty captures. The story: #9 was my 3rd attempt at a five second delay and the first time I didn't almost maim myself in the process.

The problem is that DVD movies typically come on multilayer discs, and AFAIK, there aren't any consumer level DVD burners than can write more than one layer per side.
-
No. It is possible to copy DVDs but it isn't that easy. I have no personal experience but I gathered this from a conversation with a friend of mine who, umm, makes and sells perfectly legitimate backup copies of DVDs and software. Yeah. And PS2's without modchips won't play burned DVDs.

I thought you meant non-DZ.com message boards. In that case, I highly recommend the Straight Dope Message Boards. It's great. I probably enjoy the discussions more than Talk Back here, but it doesn't feel anywhere near as personal (which is to say, I haven't met any SDMB'ers in real life, and I don't particularly want to). Here, I read General, S&T, G&R, CReW, Photography (because they talk about nerd stuff a lot), and BASE (just in case some day I manage to get enough jumps to try it). I skim Talk Back but I don't read it as much as I used to. I glance into the other forums from time to time. The only one that I have never read is Greets.

It's totally free if you are willing to wait while Capewell inspects the pin. They even give you an account number to cover the cost of shipping. If you want a replacement before they have a chance to inspect the component, then you have to buy a new handle. Even then you get a 60% discount to replace a part that is most likely not defective. It seems pretty fair to me.

And from a little further on in the FAQ: In case anybody was wondering, you can choose not to view avatars, and you can make yourself "invisible" so that nobody except moderators can see if you are online. If you are so paranoid that you don't want even the mods to know that you are online, then you can browse logged out and only log in when you want to post something. FWIW, your email isn't any more secure than your PMs. Do you know how many people have the passwords necessary to read your email? Probably dozens. How many people have the passwords needed to read your PMs? The answer is, I believe, one.

You might want to try hooking up with a group of "urban explorers." Any moderately large city has them. It's a fun way to see your city (and not just rooftops) from a new perspective. At the same time you'll learn how to be places you aren't supposed to without getting caught. And, in my limited experience (one bust and talking to others), actual arrests are rare if you aren't doing anything more illegal than trespassing, like carrying contraband or jimmying locks.

2. Geez. Oh well, 94 hour paycheck should be coming for next weekend if those morons in the office got my tax thing sorted out by Friday night. Otherwise it's another three weeks of no jumping.

I don't think Stevie Case came up with that quote. Am I the only one that thinks she was way better looking before she got all "modified"

I can't really think of a subject that won't get me in trouble

Mr. Brain's Faggots (safe for work) "The Doody family – true faggot fanatics – are the family recently chosen in a nationwide search to find a family to represent Mr Brain’s Faggots." The most unintentionally funny website I've ever seen. Courtesy of 665. -
paperwork problems; no money for a few weeks. Barely current, I.

Wow. I hope that's a misspelling. Either that or you are about ten thousand times tougher than I am.

I like my Cavalier well enough. It's an '01, has the "sport package": CD, better speakers, and a spoiler. Power nothing. But that doesn't really matter because you aren't me. Test drive. Test drive. Test drive. Don't listen to anybody who tells you Chevy's suck, "Fix Or Repair Daily" of whatever. Make your own decision.

Google is commemorating the event with a special logo.

No money to jump Damn company has screwed me Maybe next weekend. Screwed is one syllable, right?

On the other hand, if they can prove a strong correlation between participation in extreme sports and unacceptable job performance (which I would think it totally unlikely), then they could use it against you. You're stereotyping.... and that's another debate. No, I'm not. If I have a scientific study that proves a strong correlation between some activity or questionaire response and unacceptable job behavior, then it is valid to use in making a hiring decisions. The typical public perception of participants in extreme sports being unreliable and a little crazy is a stereotype. If I produced a report that said that participants in extreme sports are 95% more likely to have 10 or more unexcused absences from work than non-participants, then I could use that to make hiring decisions. Of course, I doubt that such a report exists.

Didn't mean to offend you. Since you are a computer tech you've probably had somebody make a stupid mistake like not plugging the computer in. Just making sure all of the bases were covered. So moving on... What browsers (including versions) have you tried viewing the polls with?

That's touching down and stopping within the circle.

I started jumping in August 2001 with a college club. The next summer I went home to work, didn't spend any money that I didn't have to, and had enough cash to put a used rig together (no AAD) in time for the fall semester, with enough cash left over to keep jumping until I found a new part time job. According to my logbook, my first jump on my own gear was July 3, 2002, jump #34. So almost a full year.
