I reeeeally dislike techno and house. I guess I'm just a bad skydiver "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

God I HATED it when people told me that. And I HATED it even more when I realized it was true. So I guess it's good advice. Girls feel when you're desperate, and tend to think that if you're desperate, that's because there's something wrong with you. So stop thinking that you would be grateful if a girl wanted you, and start thinking that THEY should be grateful if you wanted to have them. Easy to say, hard to do. Worked for me, I met THE girl 2.5 years go, exactly when I started thinking "damn girls, if they don't want me, their loss. I'll save my dignity."

How Kazakhstan takes it: http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061110/ENTERTAINMENT03/611100437/1005/ENTERTAINMENT How the drunk kids take it: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/breaking_news/15977503.htm How I take it: How Freddy Mercury would take it: "I need to shave."

I wonder if people from the glorious nation of Kazakhstan will like it as well How much was real, how much was not? I guessed the singing the anthem and the comments of the rodeo guy were real... What about the dinner with the three couples? The scene in the elevator, the guy pretending not to see? The postman (or whatever it is called) coming with a telegram about his wife? High five!

I quote from the F***ing manual: It seems that you can spare some battery-time by turning it off. The syntax of this sentence is somewhat strange: the life time is extended only when it is off. Well, we understand what they mean. Strange that there is no auto power-off... There is on the pro-track.

How does it compare to pissing into the wind? And how much worse does the wingsuit make it? When a tandem student pukes under canopy... what happens to the puke? Well it must come down... Would be fun if it would fall over the student's friends and family "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Next time you're under canopy, try to spit in front of you. I hope you will understand why throwing up under canopy isn't too nice :) "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Yeah, I wondered about that to. The analogy with car driving has another flaw: you drive your car in order to go from A to B. Sometimes you must drive. You never HAVE to skydive (think the whuffos), it only takes you from A to A. "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

I just wondered... would it be useless to have a fake rig on your back while in the tunnel? I mean to get a more realistic flow and stuff, without having the risk of a real canopy popping out.

Couldn't it be so that they want to prevent people from having rubber bands in the hip rings to tuck their t-shirt in? (saw pictures of how it damages the webbing... not good) Ok, you can still have a 2 piece leg strap, but if they managed to set the 1 piece strap as a standard... Or more generally, could it be so that it protects the leg webbing from being rubbed against , and RW prefers rubbing against their own material?

Darn right. We need more laws controlling who can have 'em, where you can shoot 'em, what type you can own, and so on. We've already got 20,000 gun regulation laws on the books, but I'm sure just a few more are all we need to finally make this strategy effective. Just think of the poor children! Yes! Government bureaucrats should get to determine who "needs" a firearm, and for everyone else - tough! And there should be random home inspections of anyone who is an approved gun owner, to make sure their guns are locked up. Now we're talking! Penalty for an unlocked gun: 10 years in prison. Absolutely, and Michael Moore is a highly acclaimed producer of documentaries, so we should listen to what he has to say and heed his advice. I like your ideas! And I like the not-at-all aggressive way you put it. As I said earlier, living in europe I have never seen a gun, besides in some cops' hands, and in the military guys' hand after terror attacks (paris and madrid's subway, london's buses...). As a coincidence, I haven't heard too much of school massacres in europe (you might say it's because the european information channels are less performant). Do you really think it IS a coincidence? Do you think the situation is better in the US, where so many own guns? If not, how would you get the situation to be better? Not by law, apparently, and I can understand that. What then? Educating people? Good luck, might work. As it comes to M.Moore, you don't seems to like him too much as a documentary producer. How about his point about culture of terror? Why do you think it is bullshit, as your sarcasms seem to mean? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Yes, because that has been so effective everywhere else it's been tried. Just look at the war on illegal drugs, for example. When those drugs were made illegal for private consumption, the problem went away! And when alcohol was banned during Prohibition, problems with drunkenness vanished! Yep, it's time to ban all the guns. Then these things won't be able to happen any more. And if an angry man like this decides to hurt people with something else, well, we'll just ban that too. But let's start with those damn guns. Well... I live in europe, and there is no military duty in my country... so I have barely seen a real gun in my life. Not heard of such dramas in europe, but there are maybe other causes. Banning guns is maybe not the ultimate solution (and as stated earlier, this is not going to happen in countries where men like to feel like John Wayne :) )... but regulating their use could help. If dad (sorry for being sexistic, i fell that women are more mature about this) has a rifle in the cupboard, then it's easier for his kid to get it and shoot half of his classmates. If only people who need it have one, and lock them well when not in use, well it's harder for this kid to achieve his video-game bloodbath. And I don't think that all kids who could pull a trigger at someone could also stab someone as easily. Then about the little women defending against a big guy, I wonder how many innocents die because they didn't have a gun to defend themselves, and how many die because someone misused the gun that was bought for defense. I would vote that there are more in the second case. Ok, hard to tell that to the little woman who is afraid to go alone at dark. Someone who liked the theory of Michael Moore in "Bowling for Columbine" (or was it fahrentheit 9/11)? Culture of terror, everybody is afraid of everybody... so everybody is more likely to shoot at sight...

Stop allowing people to own weapons? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Alright, my bad about the 3rd point. It was interesting to hear that some of these devices failed to release, thanks for these replies! I guess there are some specifications about how much weight our rubber bands should support before breaking? The problem being that it changes a lot with age... "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

That's perfectly right. Had a bad day :) "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Because the protrack is an audible, maybe? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

mmm, I meant just cutaway and see if the slider stays on the rig and prevent the main from going away. You dont need to fire the reserve. I see three possible scenarios: - the rubber band breaks, and the main goes away - the rubber band does not release and the slider is kept on the rig after cutaway, preventing the main from leaving - the same as above but the risers go all the way through the slider grommets and the main leaves In the second case you have a main left over you reserve flap when you have to open the reserve (not good), in the third case you have only the slider left (not so good either).

Have they actually tried it on the ground? Result? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Apparently not: http://bhendrix.com/wall/Gmaps_GVideo_Mashup_Rendezvous.html He failed to get an authorization. This link shows the race with a map in parallel. Can be interesting if you know Paris.

This page says now that it's available. Has someone bought it? And what do you think, in that case? If anyone has pictures of it "in real life", it would be nice to post them! "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Or putting a rig on a ski-jumper (ski... not sky)

You forgot to mention that putting the sewer so close to the play ground. "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

Are you trying to make up an excuse to avoid the skydive and backing off yourself ;) ? (just kidding, be aware of your ears!) "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

In sweden, most cards have an expiration date for the rig. Like "good to jump until 31:st of september". If the card mentions the AAD's date of manufacture and last battery change, wouldn't it be solely the skydiver's responsability to have an airworthy equipment while jumping?

Alright, then it was an attack to the photographer :) I'm just a wannabe, but I'm still very irritated by comics and people who think that way: 1. I need a nice and fun font 2. I will look through all the fonts on my computer 3. Oh, that's a bit original and unserious, I'll use that. ... and end up using comics (all of them). Would I be in HR, and get a curriculum in comics... I wouldn't give the guy a chance. Are you also a fanatic?
