  1. We better stock up while they last! "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
  2. I get a good deal But none of this has anything to do with the OP, he was asking if he's RUNNING windows xp, not virtualizing it, if 7 could be 'activated' which the answer would be 'no'. (minus any possible dual booting, but people who know what they're doing have hard times doing that sometimes) "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
  3. Yes, I have it on my laptop for testing programs that I write in XP as well as 7. So you do realize that its basically poor man's virtualization running a full blown XP and technically speaking you could argue that you've installed XP onto that machine, even though its not running on it natively. Sure, if by "poor man's" you mean someone who's willing to shell out the extra $ to buy the Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate versions, then sure.

  5. Who doesn't? But hey, its a small, sexy rig that now looks like shit and is just a bitch to wear and pack, who cares? It LOOKS cool! To me, it just looks like shit.

  6. Though, it is funny when someone accidentally posts on your wall, instead of sending you a message. "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
  7. There's a ton of ways to stow the brake lines. The whole idea is so you don't have a big loop of line floating around to grab things with, or to get wrapped around a toggle. Watching the video, it looks like the lines are stowed in a way that would prevent those situations from happening easily. Comes down to what works best for you, and being consistent. If in doubt, ask a rigger to check it out.

  8. you have completely misunderstood either the question asked or the role of that app you linked I have no idea what you were asking or what kind of answer you wanted since I figured that if you're so computer illiterate that you can't figure out if its running XP or 7 that there is nothing I can do to help you. The link was more about nitpicking about the fact that if a computer has 7 in it then it can't be running XP. Just FYI, its called 'XP Mode' on Windows 7 virtual PC. Note the MODE part. While it is still basically Windows XP, there are some differences (though, I haven't done a whole lot of testing to figure it out). It was designed to allow people to keep using their legacy programs on a Windows 7 machine, not to be a full operating system.

  9. *Sigh*... If only we could all avoid this one... You should meet Ken. He's my scuba instructor. He does courses every day of the week and generally dives 4 times a day. He loves it, so it's not like work, its just doing what he loves, and getting paid for it. Now, I work hard for my money () but if I didn't enjoy the work I do (when I actually DO work) I wouldn't care how much they paid me, I would probably be outta here.

  10. What does the sticker on the front say? Usually mfgrs will put a sticker on there saying something along the lines of 'Designed for Microsoft Windows XP' or 'Windows Vista' or my Dell just says 'Windows 7' also, look for the CoA key tag... it will say what version of windows, and have your 25 digit activation key on it. That should be what the computer left the mfgr with. Granted, my old Dell (Inspiron e1505 circa 2006) runs Windows 7, just slow and at a reduced performance. ETA: No, if you're running XP, the chances of you having a Windows 7 install on the computer are pretty slim.

  11. You know I'm right. I do the same thing Or, if I don't catch them in time, I don't let them cut in ahead of me. "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
  12. The freebag is flap up, so it is flipped atleast 180* from its proper orientation. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3819176#3819176 See that post, he purposefully recreated the picture, then pulled on it... wanna guess what happened when he pulled with a heavy hand (which was probably not even close to what the PC would've done)?

  15. Hey, lets make the old man's lawn our new DZ... only one rule: all trash stays except the drunk, naked, and passed out women. Can't have him getting excited and having a heart attack.

  16. Severed, yes... cleanly cut as a result from an AAD fire, no. The folds in the reserve were still neat, indicating that it had not been subjected to the air flow of freefall.

  17. Answered your own question there. "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
  18. That was the hardest part for me. Whats worse is of the 5 trips I had, I left with a girlfriend, 3 weeks later (to the day) I find out they're screwin around on me. ALL 5 TIMES! If ya find one that will wait for you and not screw around in the process, ya got a GREAT one!

  19. I'm only 26. That actually surprises a few dz.commers when they meet me. Weird huh? "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
  20. Yup, that's it! Moral of the story: If you're going to follow someone and TRY to get in their wake... do it well above your decision altitude.

  21. There is video of a swooper following another guy's approach and ended up catching the turbulence, and the canopy collapsed. (IIRC it resulted in a cypres fire.)

  22. I like this idea best. You guys thinking it's a choice between new tires of a brain-dead son are assuming that he' going to wind up a brain-dead kid if he doesn't get tires. Yeah, yeah...the old worst-case "what if". Cut the tires and cut the apron strings. Buying him new tires only perpetuates the irresponsibility. - Why should I be responsible for myself, Daddy will bail me out. Agreed. I like the idea of slicing the tires. Kind of like pulling his reserve while he's still on the ground. For those of you who think I should just go buy him tires. I've already done stuff like that for too long. He has a job. He has the money to get this done if he wants. Just remember to slice them when the car is in a place it can sit for a few days, and be worked on (not the side of the road) If you can't drive the car to get the tires, ya gotta take them off and over to the tire shop and back...

  23. I'm with ya, got my C-license card with one of those new stickers. Oddly enough, they didn't send me one of those little card envelopes either. IIRC, I got one with every license card I got. Not that it's a big deal, just noticed it. I'm all for modernization, but I don't think the USPA logo really needed it, and if it was up for re-design, should have been something we could vote on.
