    CMI 2 handled ascender

    http://en.petzl.com/ProduitsServices/B17_ASCENSBAS_B17504-H.pdf is a working link to the document. It obviously depicts the breaking strength of the material at the various holes when force is applied to them in the directions shown. I don't know what to say beyond that. Good points have been...

    Duplicate files on the hard drive

    This should be a trivial task and if you weren't saddled by Windows it would be :) Fetch the following stuff: findutils-4.2.20-2.exe grep-2.5.1a.exe or grep.zip The first has a couple of utilities for finding files and optionally working with them, the second is a utility for pulling strings...

    Photo of Chainsaw Injury

    Passing the liability "buck" anywhere away from themselves. Even though the instrument is clearly designed for proper one-handed use they have to cover their butts legally because nobody takes responsibility for their own actions anymore (nor accept that accidents sometimes just happen). Stihl...

    Rope Forces and Knots Flash Archive

    [ QUOTE ] Flash does need a plugin, ... web browsers. The 1st 6 or so knot animations are from the newer Flash8; so non-mainstream browsers; or those without newest plugin may have some trouble seeing them. [/ QUOTE ] I've got a couple of software packages which play flash content separate...

    stihl 341 mod

    Sounds like the current version of the 034/MS340, which we haven't had here in the States for some time but the rest of the world did.

    lanyard with micro grab and pulley

    A little more sensitive to that? As I understand it, you must unweight it and use two hands to adjust. The Grillon does indeed adjust out smoothly under load; under what conditions did you experience it "releasing the 'switch'"?

    Trees vs. Satellite Dishes

    [ QUOTE ] Do trees physically interfere with the signal or do they filter it? Similar to foliage filtering red and blue from the light spectrum. [/ QUOTE ] The signal is electromagnetic radiation. Visible light is electromagnetic radiation, too, just at a different frequency. Think of the...
