  1. >38 pics take abit to load.... besides compressing jpgs, how >do you get file size smaller to upload faster? Quite simple: Don't force the user to download all the pics at once(ie. dump the Flash thingymagic used for the slideshow). Make a traditional image-gallery with thumbnail-images. The thumbnails should quite easily pack to ~5kb a piece. A nice free script for image gallery generation can be found here.(Requires php-support on your server)
  2. Dude, just let'em go.... You can do it! Now say to yourself: "I have no need for these pill bottles. It is best to recycle them." Repeat as necessary.
  3. >i wonder how many more will it take for it to be fixed The bossman has said that updating the spell checker's vocabulary isn't among his first priority projects. However, you can add words to the dictionary yourself: After pressing the "check spelling"-button, the mis-spelled words are highlighted in red. Each of these words is actually a link that will open a popup-window enabling you to add the word to the dictionary.
  4. Since the paperclip-icon(at least to me) means that there is an attachment in the post, could it be made automatic? So that if there's an attachment, the paperclip icon shows, and otherwise it doesn't? attachment.txt
  5. An url is not an attachment. It could be made automatic: if there's an attachment, the paperclip icon shows, otherwise not. And yes, clicky damn it, lest you be cast in a lake of fire.
  6. "BUNGHOLE was not found in the Cambridge International Dictionary of English Did you spell it correctly? Here are some alternatives: bangle bangles binoculars bungalow bungalows bungle bungled bungler bunglers bungles bungling"
  7. DEFINITION (from Cambridge International Dictionary of English) debauched adjective weakened or destroyed by bad sexual behaviour, drinking too much alcohol, taking drugs, etc. His family were distressed by his increasingly debauched lifestyle. debauchee noun (C) He gave a convincing stage performance as the unpleasant young debauchee (=debauched person). debauchery noun (U) It is a society where debauchery has become the answer to conformity. --- Sounds good to me...
  8. UF kicks ass! I just found an old bookmark file of mine with a link to the Vigor-strips..
  9. >Im not sure i want to be a Skydiver then..i really need my gear LOL! Touche...
  10. The same could be then said about the crew-doggies, but no... it's the rope. Anyone can fall out(or be "helped" out) of an airplane, when the static-line will deploy for you. It still doesn't make you a skydiver. ...Or a S/L JM attached to you via the "umbilical cord" and the plane... Yup, when you exit the aircraft without anyone or anything attached to you, you're a skydiver.
  11. Actually it is my written expression that's failing me... That's what I was trying to say, that it's not a skydive. It's a "parachute jump" in my book. That's not to say that it's not fucking cool and that the person doing it has notably larger prodigal balls than any tandem-passenger. FUCK NO! Perhaps the combination of the two that defines a skydiver? One who performs a skydive is not necessarily a skydiver? Ah, the good'ol debate on the definition of a skydiver... You know, we could continue this all night.
  12. >So a pilot leaving an airplane to rescue him self,will then preform a skydive? Hell yeah! >A Skydive would be a planed FREEFALL(yes i give you that one), >whit 2 cannopies at your bag A jump off your neighbourhood A while wearing a Sorcerer?
  13. > I got the bright idea to test the Mary Poppins umbrella >theory. Let's just say it DOESN'T work. We should immediately ban Mary Poppins and Peter Pan. Kids will get themselves killed watching that shit.
  14. >How about this then. . .once you exit the plane, it's all a skydive, >no matter the method. Actually, in all seriousness, I disagree with the terminology. A S/L-jumper is a parachutist, yes, but not a skydiver before the first freefall. >She siad she wanted to fly on her own, and static Line is by far >the cheapest and fastest way to achieve that! With that I do agree. Although the 19 S/L's I did took me 9 months(with the Finnish winter in between). But that's just me, I exited the plane like a sack of shit, as opposed to the proper method of falling like a sack of potatoes.
  15. Brave Sir Robin ran away Bravely ran away away When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes Brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave Sir Robin
  16. >Okay then you can take 5 jumps off my log >Its the most used way here in Cessna-land. Read my earlier post in this thread... You could take 19 jumps off mine. And everyone knows S/L-progression makes better skydivers. shameless troll.^
  17. Ok, the canopy-flying bit is cool, but the "rope-fall"? No.
  18. >Simple answer, go Static Line. Only if falling like a sack of potatoes for 3 meters while attached to a length of rope is your idea of flying.
  19. >if I do something stupid Ill be the first to laugh and make fun of it! Exactly! What's the point in being stupid and then not telling anyone about it?
  20. > 7. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts" and you put > your two cents in . . . what happens to the other penny? Duh.. Taxes, man, taxes!
  21. SheesH! It's not like failing a level is the end of the world! People fail levels all the time. So what? The sky isn't going anywhere... Just repeat the level if needed, it shouldn't be a biggie...
  22. If I vote "against", can I still drink the beer? I can't support this cause, poor BillVon would be broke in no time. And AggieDave would be too.
  23. Your logic is flawed, and therefore that's not an argument: Assume a 1% possibility of any rigger packing a reserve mal(it's too high, but for the example); Regardless of the repack cycle, at any given time, there is a 1% possibility that the last rigger has packed a reserve mal.
