Is this a typo? The rough math puts that around 400 mph.

One house (but two different bedrooms!) in Gurnee, Illinois. And two dorm rooms in the same buildng in Champaign, IL. Damn I'm boring.

I'll ask around, but as far as I know none of our members are going. The boogie dates happen to be the end of out winter break, so we would be rushing back to make the first day of classes.

Christmas Vacation is awesome, A Christmas Story is so funny, and for some reason I have a soft spot for White Christmas. I also like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, if only because it's a musical about men who kidnap women and brainwash them into marriage in their mountain hideaway.

Ah. I saw a side spin video once where the drogue got hung up on the bottom of the container. TM had to dump the reserve, everything worked out, lucky bastards.

Do you mean in the fake tandem waiver video? I just watched it again and didn't see any fatality.

This is true. Photos here. It seems that the process has been refined into "cluster ballooning."

Ditto. I posted my review a few days ago. I was most dissapointed that they included the "Bonus!" scenes from The Road to Muffstock (basically a long trailer for another film) in the total running time. So you really only get 25 minutes or so.

Go see if your college has a student legal aid office. Many do, or can at least hook you up with a reasonably priced (possibly free) lawyer or legal advisor.

I never had a local exchange where blue boxes would work I did have a tone dialer that eventually died from being taken apart so many times

Ok, I remember the site that the picture came from, but I spent a good ten minutes Googling and couldn't find it. Got a link?

Sorry folks, I'm all out of troll food.

In school, not happy with the program I'm taking (and it shows in my grades), and can't find any other program that interests me. It's frustrating, I'm thinking about heading back to community college for an associates degree, then getting back on the four year plan for a bachelors if I feel like it.

Do you have it set for feet per second? 170 fps is about 116 mph.

I forgot their names. I suck. Blonde girl who wears a half-shell Protec covered in stickers and her fiance. They are both members of the SIU club. I've seen them around Archway a couple of times, but never really talked to them until Friday. Update: Just checked the SIU club's web site. The fiance is named Amir. Still can't remember the girl's name.

Sorry about the one liner, but more information about fingertrapped toggle attachments can be found here.

Bingo, fflush was the function to clear the input buffer that I couldn't remember. Note for MyUserID: You also need to fix the part where the temperature is input. I missed that on my first read-through. The way you have it now, the valid ranges are always printed first.

Works for me on my Linux box, using gcc version 2.95.4 20010319 (Debian prerelease). Welcome to Temperature Converter 1.0. by Christopher D. Thompson ------------------------------------ Use this program to convert temperatures between Celcius, Faherenheit, and kelvin. Please enter a choice. 1. Convert a Temperature 2. Quit the Program 1 Please enter your name: sh: cls: command not found Please select a conversion: --------------------------- 1. Fahrenheit to Celcius 2. Fahrenheit to kelvin 3. Celcius to Fahrenheit 4. Celcius to kelvin 5. kelvin to Celcius 6. kelvin to Fahrenheit 7. Return to the main menu. 1 sh: cls: command not found Please enter the value of the temperature that you would like to have converted. Valid entries include: ---------------------- Celcius: -500 to 500 Fahrenheit: -1,000 to 1,000 kelvin: 0 to 800 32 The new temperature is 0.0. The only hiccup is that since I'm not using DOS, I don't have the 'cls' program, so my screen doesn't clear. There is a way to do that entirely inside of C, however. Actually, I just noticed that it asks for my name but jumps right ahead without waiting for input. This is because (I think) there is a return still in the input buffer after reading the digit for the menu. gets() sees this, thinks it's gotten it's string already, and shoves null into name. Doubling up the gets(name) fixes it, but there has to be a better way to do this. Besides, my compiler bitches about using gets (it is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks). Since you don't seem to be using name anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.

0:0:0 Went to Skydive Chicago on Friday. I doubted that I would get to jump, but the couch at the DZ is always more fun than the couch at home. The wind was howling, manifest said 15-20, but I think it was more like 25-30 and gusting higher. The Otter went up a few times, without me. One person landed on the other side of the river, another broke something important landing in a driveway (I don't know who or what). On the positive side, I learned how to do a fingertrap and saw some SEMO jumpers that I haven't bumped into in a while. I'm going to claim that I don't owe beer because I didn't jump.

Whoops, forgot about that one. It's filed under "Funny" on my computer (seriously) but I'm at my parent's place.

Entertaining? Umm, how about "Bending Spacetime in the Basement?"

In addition to what everybody else posted, Gary Peek/PCPRG did some reasearch into this: Using a flexible cable closing pin on an experienced skydiver's rig.

Search engines used to be shut out, but Sangiro allowed them in recently. As far as I know, the big search engines (Google, Altavista, Hotbot, etc.) honor robots.txt. I've never seen them hit my images folders, which I have banned them from to conserve bandwidth.

Umm, what do you want to do? I mean, I love this program, but I doubt you will care very much for it. Must-haves, though, are a bit easier: Mozilla for web, mutt for email, and OpenOffice, KOffice, or AbiWord for word processing (even though real men use LaTeX). MPlayer will play almost any video except DVD (which it actually will play, but there are better solutions) and Sorenson QuickTime (which, again, it will play, but it requires a nasty hack and CVS code). It is also often difficult for newbies to install. Make sure to read the docs thouroughly before trying anything. Your distro will probably come with some or all of these, but Mozilla and MPlayer have both put out recent releases, and the upgrades are recommended.
