  2. But they're not; in the US you have to take in to account all kinds of liability issues.
  3. >And the point is...???? Well, for me it could be simply to do something else besides sitting in front of a computer all day. But that's what I'll do anyway, since it's -24C outside and I don't own a GPS unit.
  4. >Not only that, but from the waist down, he is a Mexican woman. How did you find that out??
  5. >>unless they are illiterate mexicans? >> >Well i guess i'm a illiterate mexican,o wait i can read and >writeThat is not a very good way to make friends! Huh? You're not seriously pissed off at my attempt of politically incorrect humor, now are you?
  6. >he he...Reread the entire thread and replace booties with boobies! And to actually contribute to the topic: I bought a suit with booties when I had 500 jumps(now700). Having them does require a different body position, but they are worth the trouble. The tunnel idea sounds good to me.
  7. Fool! Tinfoil is only good against the older generation mind-control beams the CIA used in the 90's. Against the newer Mind Warpers you need heavier protection. And I'm not sure you can shield yourself against the 4350a series at all...
  8. >So sorry I'm a bit sleepy here. I meant to say NOT Green Acres, my bad. I'm still missing the reference, not being a native english-speaker... >If you have any info I'd be curious to hear about it, Just the usual: Google "selling eggs"
  9. >The other day my roommate told me that once she starts jumping So she hasn't even tried it yet? It's good to plan in advance of course, but it might be a good idea to try if she likes it first! >she plans on selling her eggs to get money for her rig. Is she aware that the procedure can be painful and that it includes a 12-inch needle stuck in you? Does she have a buyer? They don't accept just anyone. >When I say eggs, please note that I'm talking Green Acres here. ? Green Acres ?
  10. >Sure McDonalds knew that people could get burned from their coffee. I guess that's the point of the case. My point was just that many people seem to think the case went along the lines of "Oops, I spilled coffee, I'm pissed, gimme millions". >If one don't know that coffee is hot, I seriously doubt one can >read the warning label. Yeah, but now they can't sue you.... Unless they're illiterate mexicans?
  11. Oh bummer, I've just ran out of the stuff, but I have a working teleporter! It's a shame I'm on the wrong side of the globe. I understood that he/she/it meant $40000 (from the year 2002) US cash. Of course that's outdated by three days now...
  12. 185F = 85C 90C = 194F http://www.convert-me.com ...or use this tool I made: convert.html
  13. >Don't forget the McDonalds' "HOT COFFEE" lawsuit, too... Read about that case here. It's not quite as simple as it's usually made out to be.
  14. I first searched with the phrase: ' "If you are a reliable supplier of the below equipment" ' note that you have to have the quot's around the word if you want to search for the phrase, and not the individual words. This turned up seven matches. Then I searched with ' "time transducing capacitor" ' and got 118 matches! Obviously there are a few variations of the mail doing the rounds. A few links led to discussion boards(such as this!), where the thread usually started with "I got this weird email today" or something similar. It seems that a lot of people have even started a conversation with the mailer. Quoted from here: Yup, either we have stranded time-travellers here who spam people, the mailer is insane, or just maybe someone is laughing his ass off right now....
  15. A Google search with the beginning of the message turned up a couple of hits. Other people have gotten the same message, so I guess someone really needs that equipment....
  16. Actually I think that may be my fault. I forgot that if I don't include a DOCTYPE definition in the file, many browsers revert to a "quirk mode", trying to parse the file like older browsers. If this version doesn't work in IE6, I get to blame MS and Bill. test_valid.html
  17. Yeah, I know what it is, mostly I was annoyed by the cross-posting under categories that the stuff doesn't belong to. Not that it belongs under any category on a skydiving site.... Incidentally, Herbalife doesn't seem to condone the plastic signs anymore: http://www.cockeyed.com/workfromhome/epilogue/intro.html
  18. Ooh, pick me, pick me! HAL --> for each letter go one step forwards in the alphabet --> IBM.
  19. I don't know what kind of classified ads are allowed, but is this appropriate?
  20. >Perhaps if the entire site were converted to java... Using CSS instead of tables for the layout would have quite a few advantages. The attached file demonstrates this. I don't know if newer Explorers render it correctly, IE5.0 doesn't. The overlong word should "bleed" outside the containing boxes without disturbing anything else in the layout. testi.html
  21. The title says it all. It's been the year 2003 for 8 minutes now. Happy new year, in advance, to the other side of the Atlantic too!
  22. >Oops, didn't realize this had already been posted when I >posted it in the BASE forum. in the spirit of post whoring: It's a good thing you let us know anyway.
