Off topic but F it: Check out these various google papers on architecture - they are doing some really cool stuff: http://labs.google.com/papers/index.html Also - I'm highly considering the purchase of a rack mounted system for home since hell, why not. The prices are getting better and better every day and the reliability factor is always on the up and up. I don't think its a far cry for a serious video editor to go this route now if not in the near future... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

We use Dell 1850s and 2850s for about 6 billion dollars a year in soa income for mortgage transactions. Those have been our standard for like the past two years now. We use them for all of our environments, DEV, QA, CT and PROD. We have had zero issues and complete 100% uptime for two years. One time a drive got disloged by a techie and our CO LO and dell was notified by the onboard diagnostics and had a new drive sent to us the next day even though we didn't need it. I guess one of the largest mortgage transaction companies in the world must be happy with their "wal mart" quiality rack servers - they keep buying them. Our CTO worked for DOD, DOE and NSA. He must be dumb I guess... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Strange - my dell is going on 5.5 years old now and runs latest pshop and premeire just fine. Never crashes, not once (no doubt it will tonight lol). -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

The fact that its a bicker-fest more times than not perhaps? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Hell even folks who hike our higher peaks here in colorado have adverse unexpected effects more times than not. If it were me personally - I'd want to know how my body was going to react before ever going up to alititude... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

I can't wait until skyv colo opens up (www.skyventurecolorado.com). Come June 24th, I'll have a four way built into my family (I'll have almost a two year old and a newborn)!!! My plan is to have my kids smokin flyers by the time 18 rolls around and tell them to really mess with their AFF instructors lol. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Anyone know Fish or Toad from SkyKnights? If you do - can you pass them this number 303.582.3999. Tell em the beav has been trying to get a hold of them for four months but doesn't have their numbers... THANKS!!!!!!!!! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

I shoot decent video - decent enough that people purchase it. I have never used a ringsite. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

I must admit - I see both sides of the coin as well. Sure its not the best thing for the deceased's family and all, but hey, if that's what the guy decided, thats HIS wishes. The world is a messed up ball of wonder, this is just another strand unravling itself. To each his own no matter. Edited to add: in the 4 cases where I've been GCing where bad injuries have occured, I've stuck with the jumper - twice risking arrest. It is not my belief to leave anyone behind nor would I ever. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Yah I'd stick to the advice I wanted to hear too. Life is so much eassier that way. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Right on - thx for the info dp. So if I buy say a 30 minute block of time, do I sign up for say 5 available minutes here, 5 there during different blocks etc??? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

So like - how does it work? I buy chunks of time? Split them with an instructor?? Say if I buy 30 minutes of time, does that equate to 15 minutes each of air time?? Thanks! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

classic. well put. "... protect your people and objects. Fuck the specifics. It's common sense. " what fun would that be when we can debate the shit out of it uselessly on the virtualnet. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Any info on possible FF camps? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Stunt? Are you serious?? 2k??? Are you really serious???? I can't count the number of times I've been on bigger ways and people have looked at my jump numbers (back in the day anyhow) and said, you shouldn't be here. Truth be told, I've only screwed the pooch on bigger ways once or twice in my life whereas people with more jump numbers seem to screw the pooch more than I. Anyone and everyone has gone low. Ain't no thang in my book and I'd jump with you again reagardless. I'm out at the DZ for the comraderaie not the contest to be cool. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

Right on - I can still tip them though right?

Dumb question - having never been in a tunnel. I take it in order to freefly I'll have to take up some coaching time. If I remember correctly they want you to learn backflying first and progress from there, is that right? Anyone know what the going rate for coaching will be in Lone Tree? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

"i swear that some people get so amped right before exit that if you handcuffed them to the airplane and told them you would give them the key in eight seconds, they would gnaw their arm off and exit in two." i love it. my new sig. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
