  1. Do you mean Magaluf in Mallorca? I used to live there, and never saw or heard of skydiving. I looked in the directory, and couldnt see anything. I wasnt skydiving when I lived there though, either. I am going back this summer for a couple weeks, so I was looking for a DZ, but couldnt find anything.
  2. I have felt the same way in the past about Canon, Epson, and HP. However, I did just order a Canon i9900 (stupid impulse purchases...). From what I have read online, it is pretty amazing, even from HP and Epson fans. It is quite pricey though... I have owned 3 different Epson photo printers, and all have done me well. The biggest problem I find with most of the printers these days, is that the print head is part of the printer, and eventually, that needs to be replaced. For most printers, that is about the same price as replacing the printer. Edit: I would also stray away from using cheap refilled ink cartridges. Some people dont seem to have any problems with them, but I have had 2 printers crap out because of them. Apparently some of the cheaper inks that they use arent quite the same as the factory inks. I'm not sure if thats folk lore or not, but 2 of 3 is enough for me. I will use factory ink from now on The one that I didnt use refilled cartridges on lasted way longer than the others... coincidence?
  3. You might have problems with a 5400rpm hdd in your laptop. I have a 2.8ghz laptop with 1gb of ram, and a PCMCIA firewire card, and I cant capture video without it dropping frames.

    Grow Up People

    Ya... theres umm... other things too................................................................ .................................................................... Just cant think of any
  5. I got both of them done. I like it, and my last girlfriend liked them a lot. Hurts like a bitch when they first do it, and then for the next couple weeks, when you fuck up and forget, and rub it with your arm or something. Keep it clean, and you shoudlnt have any problems with infection or anything like that.
  6. Right click on taskbar, select properties. Uncheck the "Use Personalized Menus". That will fix it (That is for win2k. I believe that in XP you have to go digging through the tabs on the properties page to find it, but it is in there)
  7. The island of Mallorca off the east coast of Spain. Lived there for 3 years, been meaning to go there for a visit for awhile (might happen this summer )
  8. I removed ram one stick at a time, removed optical drive, and everything else that I could, just to get it to post. Motherboard has power, so I dunno. desktops are easy. Laptops confuse me.
  9. Is there anybody here that works for dell, or can get their hands on a service manual/schematics for an inspiron 1150 for me? Mine is dead, and out of warranty. Wont do anything, except blink the lights briefly. Anybody?? (I know its a far shot, but hey, you never know)
  10. My first cutaway was on a Mr Bill. After that, I have no desire to try one again. The one that I had my cutaway on, we left unstable, and the dbag hit my foot, and flipped around, creating a baglock. Luckily, we had talked about these things before, and sluggo left and watched me cutaway, and go to reserve. I had thought, and unhooked the RSL on the gear I was jumping prior to this, luckily. It could have been ugly with an RSL. Sure Mr Bill's look cool, and look like they are a whole lot of fun, if you are going to try one, make sure to think about EP's, and talk to someone who has done one (successfully preferably) beofre you give it a try.
  11. The stuff in the profiles is all geared to USPA licences/ratings. Like the option for USPA coach... In canada, we have coach 1, and coach 2, and neither of them are the same as a USPA coach really. I think that for those sections, it should just be a text field.
  12. I was thinking about this problem the other day, and they probably could do it now, if they built, for lack of a better term, a 'RAID' array of a couple cards, and wrote to them in parallel. Im thinking about playing with solid state media and trying to do this. Just for something to do
  13. From what I have seen, and I could be wrong, but any of the camcorders that take a card do not perform well. 640x480 resolution, at 10 frames/second. They just cant dump video down to a card fast enough.
  14. That blows. I just ran out and ordered a PC1000, hopefully the suppliers still have some.
  15. Well, it offically happened last year... but a pickpocket got my wallet around 11:30 on new years eve . I dont get people. There was no money in it, and they didn't even leave it for security to find or anything. So I get to spend the next week getting all of my cards back. Hope nobody else had as shitty a time as me at their new years party
  16. A lot of smaller cessna DZ's will have them, because they tend to have static line and IAD students. These are the ones that are going to get hung up more easily than anybody else

    Minesweeper

    and its cool if you have people watching you. They wont notice the dot, and as long as you are fairly careful about using your psychic abilities, they will think you are just very lucky.
  18. Ohh... TCAS. Expensive, and important. What did you do to fry it?

    Minesweeper

    If you want a really good score on minesweeper... and show off to your friends, heres what you do. Minimize all the windows except for minesweeper. Have the screen resolution set low enough, because you will be looking at 1 pixel in the top left of your screen (pixel=1 dot on the screen). In minesweeper, type xyzzy and press the left shift button. Move your mouse over the squares, and you will see the 1 pixel at the top left corner of your desktop change from white to black. White=no mine, black=a mine . You can be a new minesweeper psychic, and pick where all the mines are before even clicking on a button.
