Yes, it is. Unfortunately. This is what drives a lot of my beliefs about the state of dive training today, and why if you're going to call yourself a diver, rather than an "underwater breather", you have to take proactive steps to be ahead of the curve - certainly after your OW class, and...

I'm with Mike on this. Regs and such that will never see over 40% FO2 I don't worry about. Anything over 50% I do. NASA has done a number of studies on this, and the short version of their results is that for any FO2 over 50% you may as well treat it as 100%. BTW, you can provoke...

I've heard that one before. Its been studied, by the way. It was shown that trained mechanics who work on vehicles for a living - that is, folks who turn wrenches for a LIVING - were usually off by 20-25% when they "guessed", and most of the time they overtightened the fastener. Now...

I have a standing offer that anyone who is tired of the claims that these things (regs) are oh-so-difficult is welcome to come by and have a beer - and I'll strip both a first and second on the kitchen table in front of 'em, along with showing 'em exactly where you get everything except seats -...

Well, like I said, I tried both. I fit the stock medium with my lightweight polypro undergarmets, but I had almost no extra room. I'm "right up the middle" on most of the stock large measurements, but a bit large in one or two (hips, if I remember correctly) I attempted to get into the...

Then you can't, in the main, take it to the LDS for service. I challenge you to find ONE manufacturer who requires that the people who they certify to do their service have any degree of mechanical background or training, or, for that matter, any educational credential whatsoever, to get in...

ROTFL!

30 days is considered "normal commercial terms." 45 days is considered "slow", and 60 days is, for most folks, called "delinquent." Beyond 60 days is "seriously delinquent, and maybe we won't get paid at all" territory. The problem Lubold is that their average appears to be close to 60...

Well I was 0 for 2 when I demoed the DUIs I tried on...... That was enough for me! :D

Well, according to DUI's sizing charts I'm a stock large. I tried a stock medium in the pool. It was ok, provided I never wanted to dive with heavy undergarmets. I could have literally never gotten it on though if I did - and that would be a problem. So I bought the stock large. A "cave...

Just set it to 21% Nitrox and go diving. That's "air" :D The mix will default back ONLY IF there is no repetitive series underway. Once you dive, until the no fly time has expired the gas mix does NOT revert.

The essence of whether or not this conduct is illegal turns on whether or not there is an agreement to fix prices. A unilateral policy is not against the law - there is no conspiracy (an agreement between two or more persons.) You can't sue a solitary retailer over his or her pricing (except...

Receiveables at 15ish% of sales suggests they're not getting paid well. Indeed, it suggests that accounts are taking 60 days to pay on average - that's not a good thing. This is why I wanted to know what the quality of that number is - what percentage of it is current (within 30 days)...

I have to sign a waiver anyway - you're already not going to be paying, and neither will your insurance company. Given that, all this arm-waving about your insurance carriers is just that - arm-waving.

Doesn't matter at this point if they get one, if a few large shareholders decide to get nasty about this. The argument they could make is that the statement of refusal to consider other bids was designed to damage the market value of the company and hold its price artificially low so the inside...

Its: 1. Expensive. 2. You have to prove your harm and damages. This kind of lawsuit is usually undertaken by the attorney general of one or more states, or the FTC, suing on behalf of the public. The reason is that the individual damages (to a given consumer) are relatively small...

A lot is wrong with it Fire. When you take a company public, or even when its not, you owe a duty to your shareholders to act in the way that is commensurate with maximal value for them. By stating that they refuse to listen to any other offers, they are stating, right up front, that they...

You got that right GJ. Oh, sure, there was much fanfare and noise at the SP meeting. I'm sure of it, even though I wasn't there. I've seen this script played out dozens of times before; in the camera business, for example, 20 years ago. Division President who is "too soft" on...

Actually, that's not quite true. Go over to Google and punch in "Nine West Antitrust". Read and compare to the present situation. Then decide - is it wrong or not?
