I was going to suggest the HTML alphabet as well. http://www.kerryr.net/pioneers/html2.htm Or you could just do a javascript in an onclick event that will change the location to the mailto address. window.location ='bite@me.com'; You could even write a function, if you only plan to send email address's to one domain, like if its a personal web page where all email address's end in "@hotmail.com". Then in an onclick event do: onClick="javascript:myEmail(myEmail);"; function myEmail(x) { window.location = x + "@hotmail.com"; } Hope this helps :) ________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

Part a is correct. Part b tricked you, just like they hoped for. There will only be 126 possible hosts. 205.37.193.128 205.37.193.255 are reserved for network address and broadcast address (respectively). Part c EDIT: damn, Wild blue got me. Host number is def 99.

The DJ's on Seattles #1 rock station KISW suck. Everytime I turn it on, it sounds like some washed up stoner fucks with nothing better to do than hear themselves talk. As long as you dont sound like that on the air, you're a welcomed change! unfortunately, most of the most of the rock listeners are probably stoners themselves and get a kick out of it? KISW.... uhhhh... yeah dude... you should uhhh....... drink a 40 and smoke a joint through your nose at the same time.... uhhh.... that would be cool........... ride it like you stole it...

I didnt get a chance to read this whole thread, but when I was learning (not too long ago) I would get extra nervous, my stomach would get upset, and I'd be very scared. I would force myself to drive to the dropzone (the drive was terrible). Whenever I stepped foot on the dropzone, the fear went away and I was fine. You might take a drive to the dropzone just to say hey. Dont have to make any jumps, but see if your fear goes away once you get there. I was really nervous after ground training too, but when the parachute went on, thats when the fear stopped. weird ________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

Huh? When the Columbia disintegrated, they pulled fiberglass wings panels off the Enterprise to run impact tests on. The published reports indicated that the Enterprise panels suffered the same type of catastrophic failure despite the fact that they were fiberglass and were significantly stronger than the Columbia's carbon-fiber panels. -Blind There are many different types of fiberglass's and its strength can be affected by many things such as the epoxy used, vacuum or heat treating, the fiber material used, honey comb, the weave, and the over all skill of the worker. pound for pound carbon fiber is a stronger material, but you can compensate fiberglass by laying more fiberglass layers down to increase its strength. In the response you wrote, you said that the fiberglass suffered the same catastrophic failure even though it was stronger. Basically it was laid thicker and failed just as the weaker carbon fiber did. If it was true that fiberglass was stronger, then they would certainly save themselves an enormous ammount of cash by doing so. carbon fiber costs nearly $20 more per yard than fiberglass. I think that the reason they used fiberglass on the wings in this application was probably due to the fact that wings will flex slightly durring flight, where carbon fiber doesnt like to flex nearly as much. But I think you did however catch me on the statement "Fiberglass, which is lighter, is not as strong as carbon fiber" which I believe should read "Fiberglass, which is heavier, is not as strong as carbon fiber." I went directy to bed of posting.

material does make a difference, riggerbob made some very good points about the foam protection. Coming from a motorcycle helmet background, it is standard practice to replace your helmet after impact. Whether it be from crashing or simply falling off of a table. Most serious guys replace it, however some dont. The hard outter shell serves only for puncture resistance. An impact could create a partial fracture that may be hidden by the covering gel-coat or stickets, that could potentially signifcantly weaken the exterior shell. The inside of a motorcycle helmet is comprise of an almost styrofoam type shell, then wrapped in the standard cloth liner. If you fall off the bike and your head hits the ground, you are essentially crushing the styrofoam, much like if you punched a piece of styrofoam insulation. It indents in the shap of the impact object (your head), looses its energy absorbing capability and becomes hard from compression. You wouldnt want to fall twice wearing the same helmet that could potentially have a weaker exterior shell, and no enegry absorbtion capability. I would imagine the same would apply to skydiving helmets to some degree. I know that the protection offered by my factory diver is minimal, but it will keep my head from being cut or punctured and it will also spread the impact to a larger portion of my head. The most common materials I've seen for the shell of helmets is plastic, fiberglass, and carbon fiber. Plastic is heavier, tears much easier from a shearing force, and typically wont crack, it will split. Fiberglass, which is lighter, is not as strong as carbon fiber, but is a little more forgiving than carbon fiber in the event of a failure. Fiberglass will flex more before it shatters, which can be a good thing in a lower impact. Typically it will be a tad thicker for more strength. Carbon fiber, while it is very light and very strong, is also very brittle if you were to try and bend it. Carbon fiber should take a greater force to fail, but if it does, it can snap and break apart. Fiberglass, if made strong enough to take the same impact, I would imagine would spider-web type fracture before ssnapping like carbon fiber. I am beginning to step a little outside of my solid knowledge of these materials, but someone else might have to critique my post. In any event, if you find yourself in a position to be unintentionally stress testing any of these materials, anything is better than nothing and they are all good choices. Has Carbon-Kevlar made an appearance in helmet applications yet? My understanding is that it is quite strong yet a little more flexible than carbon fiber. ________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER date someone from work. When shit hits the fan, you are a walking HR violation at her mercy. You need to decide how important your job is to you, if you dont care if you loose it, go ahead and mess around. If the place is potential career or you are strapped for cash, kindly decline, put her number into your phone, and call to "find out how she is doing" when either you or her leave the company. JUDY: I recommend not becoming a fuck budy with a friend that is very dear to you. You know, the kind of friend that would hurt real bad to loose. IMO its not worth the risk. The best fuck buddies are people who you know nothing about and they know nothing about you. This also prevents to common circle of friends and potentially avoiding them at common places like parties. You meet fuck buddies in the most random places. Most importantly you need to make your intentions clear, none of the hinting crap or assuming, like they can read your mind. You need to to express it in your attitude, your body langauge, as well as communicate it. You can still be friends with them and go out to have a good time, but continue to tell yourself that what is there is not real and it is not going anywhere, its all in good fun. If you find yourself in a position where you begin to see yourself dating this person, you need to take a step back and start from square 1. Tell them that you are beginning to develop feelings and that a choice must be made to be 1) exclusive or 2) cut ties and end it. There are exceptions to every rule, and my post is not concrete, simply the rules I play by to prevent me or her from being emotionally crushed, as that hurts way more. With that being said, I have had good and bad experiences, I've learned many lessons, and NEVER fucked an ex, they are ex's for a reason. I would and most likely will do it again. Mark me down for "all for it" ________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

I felt the same way when I took my dad for a tandem. He found out that I had made 2 static line jumps and was pretty shocked, its something he had wanted to do all his life and never found the courage to do it. We were heading to vegas a few months later (last december) and I basically laid it out for him, if this is really something you want to do, lets do it. I put the ball in his court and let him make the choice. a few months before we left for vegas, he was pretty stoked about it, but as time grew nearer and he thought about it more, I think he began having 2nd thoughts. The day that we jumped ( you wouldnt believe the look of terror on this mans face) I was more scared for him than I was for myself, I couldnt live with myself if something happened to my dad and I convinced him to do it. You wouldnt imagine my relief when I fell past him in the air and his canopy was out. I took my little cousin for her birthday a couple months ago as well. Same type of uneasy feeling, I couldnt face my family if something terrible happened as a result of my encouragment. I suppose its more of your brain over-analyzing things like these, but it is a scary feeling. However the feeling of helping them to accomplish one of their life goals is very rewarding, so its kind of a toss-up. I will never again try to convince someone to go, but I will help those that make their own decision. I had an ex-girlfriend jump spur of the moment, and I never had the uneasy feeling of me talking them in over their head. ________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.
