  1. (in my newbie thoughts) I think it could be a problem with training as well as not being used to hop&pops. In AFF you get taught how to do a poised exit, and they tell you to do the stable exit for your h&p for your A lic. The problem could come when they get on a plane as an experienced jumper, with a pilot who is flying loads as fast as they can, no cut/climbing exit. Guy thinks he needs to do the poised exit, doesnt think about the tail. Not quite anyones fault IMO, its more like the chain of events. Maybe make an emphasis on students to learn the pitch of the aircraft (or is that the yaw?) as soon as you can start teaching them, so they can feel it out and know they need to adjust their exit accordingly.

  3. my wife just got her asus yesterday. it sure cames loaded with a lot of probably useless software. what extra stuff have you found useful, and what is worthless? I got my Dell, bought a bigger hard drive, ordered the FREE os disk from dell, and re-installed it my way! I dont like all the crap they come with, or the recovery partition and such, I manage all that stuff myself.

  5. A buddy of mine was recently involved in an accident, possible drunk driver nailed him at highway speeds, rolled the SATURN 5-7 times. He was ok, just bumps and bruises, the car... well... the engine was found a distance away.

  7. Im about to finish my 5th year in, of a 6 year contract, got my e-5 last June, its not quite as easy as I thought it would be... and I cant imagine how much worse it would be with a group of whiny ass snot nosed kids that just want free college, and dont give a damn about their jobs.

  8. +1 I agree and disagree, I cant imagine where I would be right now without the military, but Ive also seen a ton of people that dont want to be here, and they really make it suck for the rest of us. That has been true in all times and all militaries.. there is a LOT that could be done to make this a better country just by having them there and putting them to work.Not all of them need to be "at arms" but it gives you a pool from which to select those who do excel and take the military to heart. Not all units are always front line... think about some of the traditional uses of the national guard in times of natural disaster. There is also a history of civil works being carried out by armies over the centuries. To some extent there will need to be NCO's stuck being baby sitters... but that certainly happens anyway in some units Aint that the damn truth...never before did I picture myself having to babysit grown ass men...

  10. Exactly why Im not that interested in ever buying a brand new vehicle... By the time I get my trucks, usually they've found everything wrong with the design and put out a TSB to fix it. Funny you should say that.... My '06 F250 with the 6.0L has had a few issues..... I even waited a few year for the bugs to be worked out..... didn't wait long enough. Wish I had the 7.3L. There I fixed it for you. Also true. One of my other trucks has the 7.3L and I haven't had any problems with it YET Fixed it for ya!

  12. You ain't kidding! I was replacing a few LCD screens on some Macbooks last year, and was looking for the LCD panel on ebay. Well whatddaya know? Samsung, Gateway, Sony, Apple, and a few other manufacturers use the exact same LCD panel in same size laptops. I found that a 14" laptop screen for a Macbook also was used in a Gateway and Samsung that was on the market at the time. What a ripoff i tell youse! I'm definitely torn between Asus and Samsung. Most computer makers use the same parts from several different places, its cheaper to have them made than to make them yourself... You would be surprised at the interchange available on some things, screens are a big one, some internal cards are too...

  13. Turn on automatic updates, see if it starts downloading them. It could be a plug in loaded by IE is bad, maybe try upgrading to IE8 and seeing if that helps any.

  14. Seriously no offense meant, but I cannot stop laughing at that. Hrm, 6 year enlistment, Computer knowledge... either a 25b or a 25s... which is it?

Well, there's your problem! Shut up jackass! I have 4 other Fords with no problems! So only 20% of them suck? I think thats a little low, but ok, Ill take that number.

  19. The minute you start getting stressed about the little things... If you're not having fun, its just work... in the long run, its never going to be fun...

  20. its probably from sp3 installing, although that should have been pushed out ALONG time ago... but who knows. Try running this in a command window: netsh int ip reset reset.log netsh winsock reset Then try it out... If that doesnt work, I would try to re-install SP3, it can be downloaded from another computer and put on a thumb drive, just find the one for network install. As far as that file, the dns servers in the ip settings write that stuff to the registry, but thats working, because you can do an nslookup... try the netsh and see if that does it.

  21. Hrm, tough cookie... Does it have zone alarm or symantec/norton of any sort installed? "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
  22. Another thing you COULD try, but for someone that isnt a good computer tech, i wouldnt really recommend it... hijackthis. Ive used it as a last ditch effort and its worked for me a few times!

  23. have them make a new hosts file and in the file put: 209.85.229.99 www.google.com the space between the ip address and the FQDN is a single tab. save it, and see if he can pull google, or if he can ping www.google.com "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
  24. for testing purposes, try this dns server 208.67.222.222 Im assuming you're using this one already: 128.107.241.185 Also, whos the ISP and what was the problem starting off?

  25. Hosts file would be my first guess. Should be something like C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (note, no extention) rename it to hosts.old and see if that works... Also, if it doesnt work, ping www.google.com and tell me exactly the output "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
