Soda helps the cure for juvenile diabetes...
theonlyski replied to JerseyShawn's topic in The Bonfire
It drives me crazy when I see people put soda or tea in their kid's sippie cups! I also doesn't think schools should have soda machines either. I doesn't think they should have soda machines either!

Capital Idea! A 1.8" SSD with a ZIF connection (like the KingSpec SSD) should do the trick since the XR500 uses a 1.8" Toshiba HDD with a ZIF connection. They seam to be readily available on ebay. I'll purchase one next week and try it out. Let me know how it works out.

US-backed 'internet in a suitcase' could aid dissidents
theonlyski replied to dreamdancer's topic in Speakers Corner
Immarsats are slow, Iridiums are even slower. Sure, you can STREAM ($$$$$) a whopping 256k connection with the right hardware, that would still be some pretty slow porn after a couple hops. These systems are used widely as a mobile communications platform, but for just about anything other than email and some light web browsing, they plain ol suck! Interesting concept to use them as a mesh network, even if you have a cell tower in a box, general range is only a couple of miles, spread that across some of the less populated cities, and that would defeat the idea of using a mesh. Not even going to get into how easy some govts could identify the systems, and track it down to just about which house it is in a matter of hours.

I've had exactly the opposite experience. Just goes to show, YMMV. -
I don't know what kind of hard drive it is, but if you could find a compatable flash drive (much like newer laptops are being offered with SSD's) and replace it with one, you might be on to something.

I had a demo Spectre that opened WAY harder than my Sabre2... I think I put 5 jumps on it, and gave it back early. Dacron lines would've made a huge difference. Hopefully I just had a screwy demo, and not a normal canopy.

And where were you getting out? 2000 ft? Probably something like 2100'. I saw someone doing a bunch of jumps in one day, cessna took him up, he jumped, landed, ditched the rig, put on another one, repeat. Pretty fast process being the only jumper on the plane, single wide turn to get from takeoff to jump run then turn again and land. Hell, I even packed a few of them.

I know that, but when I told that to a couple fun jumpers last weekend, they were surprised that it was able to do so.

My Sabre2's would open pretty soft if I didn't trash pack it. My Safire2 opens pretty soft if I don't trash pack it. Just the Safire2 opening is nicer than the Sabre2 for me.

For those of you reading this that own Cypres-2's, they don't display the battery voltage on startup. They count down from 10 to 0, and if you're in your service window, the date of the next service due.

Well, you don't really need to do the pre-jump every day you're going to jump. 'Jumpers: Hit it!' "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Now that's funny! Does the link that I posted really give you the impression that I got my panties ina bunch? Maybe I just had a few too many and was just honestly pointing out the elaphants in the room...It's not like they didn't want to be noticed... *edit* btw...who's ever at leshbot.com trying infiltrate my computer everytime I post a reply, I got your number. Anyone posting here should update their virus protection immedialtely...just saying. Posted that from work, where youtube is blocked. The post was something that didn't need to be public knowledge.

I think amstalder is pretty short, but she's probably just a bit taller than you. Its been a while since I measured her Guess that cut's the rest of my post short.

They will work, just give them the measurements for your old bag and see what they say. (I am actually a little shocked that they said it won't fit, who did you talk to?)

Deployment Wind Can you expand a little on this, or confirm that you are joking? Thanks.

City: Keep parked pickup trucks out of sight overnight
theonlyski replied to JohnRich's topic in Speakers Corner
I expect millionaires also have garages and their trucks have wheels instead of piles of bricks. Well, it IS a Ford, once they break down, no point in keeping the wheels on it.

As a straight guy what do I know about shoes? They go on my feet..... My my gay friends, man those guys know exactly what shoe on what foot and for what shirt! I'll have to ask them what they think. Because for me right now...I just dont' get it? I'm not gay, and I know that the left shoe goes on the left foot. Right shoe also goes on the right foot...

Good catch, just re-read that paragraph. Still, I should be allowed to patch a hole the size of a quarter on a reserve without being a master rigger. I have a feeling that there were other forces at play here, who are trying to make more work for master riggers, and widening the gap between master and senior riggers. It makes it harder to bridge the gap if as a senior rigger, you can't patch a reserve, but as a master rigger, you can do just about anything to the reserve. How are WE suppossed to get the experience in it, if we're not allowed to?
