    Deepest dive first, or not?

    One concern with reverse profiles is that existing tables were generated using forward profiles. While there is no evidence that reverse profiles increase risk, there likewise has been no attempt to validate existing tables with reverse profiles. I dive reverse profile's fairly often, but make...

    Where did this feature move to?

    Not so much a new format question, but can I change (and if so, how) the text between my username and avatar (mine currently says 'Regular of the Pub'). I've seen a few people here who appear to be able to change it, and always though I might change mine if I could think of something...

    Phantom pages

    I've noticed that on the occasional thread the last page number which is listed is not accessable - for example, at the time of this writing the posts in this thread end at page 22, but there is a link to page 23 shown in the "page list" of links. I think SB is listing more pages than there are...

    $5 Macro Lens

    Your wish is my command (please don't hold me to that). I would also add at this point that focusing with this can be a real b*tch if you have a fixed focus (i.e. infinity-focused) camera. I doubt many people are still using those beasts, but if you are be prepared for a lot of duplicates as...

    Anyone ever tried Spinal Decompression Therapy?

    My MD and physiotherapist both warned me against it. I do not know if that was a general concern, or something to do with the specific injury to my back. I did not have a disk issue; rather a muscle issue, so its quite a different injury than waht you're looking for help for. Bryan

    A good reason to go tech - really tech

    So this is actually diving related, but I cannot think of a better forum since its a somewhat random topic. We all know that deep-sea fish can be pretty darn weird. This one (Macropinna microstoma) takes the cake: RM9o4VnfHJU Those two eye-like things above its mouth - not its eyes. They're...

    Suggestion Q about "banned" words

    I was running on the assumption it was a banned word, and I didn't want things to get lost in translation. Lets try that again - it makes me laugh my ass off. Bryan

    Suggestion Q about "banned" words

    Probably a good thing. But the issue many people have with it makes me think there is something seriously wrong with my brain. I laugh my a** off every time I see it - no revulsion to be found, just :rofl3: Bryan

    Embedding PowerPoint into Web Pages

    1) By a PC :lotsalove: 2) Install open office. It's universal - PC, Mac, Linux, etc - it opens powerpoint, its free, it exports to flash, plus a dozen other formats. Bryan

    Suggestion Q about "banned" words

    Why would they be? -bitch = female dog -ass = type of animal -mother = something we all have, but sometimes wish we didn't Bryan

    What to expect in St. Lucia?

    If it matters, we're on the west side of the island, just slightly more north than the island 1/2 way point. Forget the resorts name at the moment - its one of the Sandals resorts (Regency is in the name somewhere...I think). Bryan

    Suggestion Q about "banned" words

    Ahh, its alway the few ruining things for the rest of us, isn't it. Well I'd like to recommend the word that I was obviously referring to be removed, although given the reasons for its banning I don't think I'm going to make much of a fuss about it... Bryan

    What to expect in St. Lucia?

    So in a few months I am getting married, and heading off to St Lucia for a honeymoon. SCUBA isn't high on the list, but its free with the resort so a few dives will happen. I was wondering what to expect (temps, current, life, etc), if there were any particular dives we should be looking to...

    Suggestion Q about "banned" words

    I have a quick question about banned words here on SCUBAbaord - how exactly does a word get put on "the list". I understand putting profanity and whatnot on the list, but have been surprised by a few of the words which get starred out - certain 1940's-era German political movements for example...

    How old is your computer?

    Mine is just over a year old. The one it replaced was close to 4 years old, which is about average for how long I keep my laptops. But most of what I do on my laptop is low key; word processing, spreadsheets, bit of matlab coding, internet - so I don't need a super-powerful unit. When it...

    HELP! Trying to set up new puter with 64 bit system and having trouble

    I think a lot of it comes from people buying into macs TV hype. I manage several computers at work - vista, mac, XP, linux, win3.1 (no, I'm not joking, 3.1). Vista is very good, so long as you are working with new hardware. Try putting it on an old machine and you'll run into problems. We've...

    HELP! Trying to set up new puter with 64 bit system and having trouble

    This refers to the amount of data the computer chip processes at once. Most processors for the last few decades have been 32 bit, meaning they process about 1/2 as much per clock cycle as a 64 bit processor. Long story short - its a more powerful processor. Sounds to me like they're trying...
