  1. you could ook into and try googles chrome operating system i dont know a huge deal about it but from what i remember you install the operating system and then when you turn on your computer it boots into chrome which basically is not much more then a web broswer, all the apps etc are web based so if you do want to do a bit of typing you can use the apps threw the web. if i understand it correctly it would mean there is very little installed on your laptop besides the operating system so performance should be good down side is you need to be connected to the internet to use things like the word processor or spread sheets or whatever but that dosnt sound like it matters to you
  2. im not american so maybe i dont get it but what is there to defend? he is giving his opinion you can take it or leave personally i think all thats missing is 10 seconds of him blasting the lefts ridicolous ideas the same way he does the right and you would have american politics explained in 1.38
  3. you know a way to snort weed? its a 'gateway' drug to illegal drugs because it is illegal if we keep lieing to our children about the effects of marijuana we only have ourselves to blame when they find out first hand that they were lied to and go on to find out what else they were lied to about
  4. love this video its some awesome work by the guys and gals and is now one of a few videos i can show 'whuffos' besides base video to try and make them understand why skydiving is so sweet congrats to all involved
  5. All wingsuit flying members of the project seem to have active dz.com accounts...dont see why they cant post it themselves? FlyLikeBrick always only has our own videos and (very active) flying. If you're talking about wingsuitnews.com, Just check the site more often before complaining. The XRW video showed up on vimeo 2 weeks ago already, and was posted on wingsuitnews.com a few minutes after it went online. Just as we post ANY other wingsuit video. The XRW vimeo vid got taken offline only a day later, and re-appeared online again a week later. No clue why. But the post on WWWN is still there if you browse back a week or two.. If people want more exposure, just do like most people, and shoot us an email. Or pay someone to post it on dropzone.com touchy touchy
  6. its not a gamble thats his point there is nothing risky about giving out those bank details a pay pal account would be good too thank you! and, that wont happen, i dont have a CC, and honestly, i wouldnt WANT one, like, uhm, never!? you dont need a credit card for pay pal anymore you can top up your pay pal account with wire transfers funnily enough ;)
  7. imho, you should choose a dropzone you trust not a particular instructor. also as an instructor examiner should be able to recomend a perfectly acceptable and safe instructor nearer you
  8. its not a gamble thats his point there is nothing risky about giving out those bank details a pay pal account would be good too
  9. so please correct me and show me the error of my ways with facts and figures? i know its a hard concept to grasp for you americans but great education FOR ALL and great treatment FOR ALL will work no matter how large the sample size anyway even if there is a chance it wont work, isnt better to try it then to stay with the current system which is clearly not working at all in the slightest
  10. mainly so they can change the exit order to get out ahead of you if they are doing the same type of jump. if your getting out after everyone who is on a similar dive to you then pulling at 5K isnt a problem. if you arent then it can be a problem telling people helps resolve this problem but there is no point in pretending that pulling at 5 is a non issue because it can be edit; just to clarify the only thing i have a problem with is that you suggested there was no need to tell the load your intentions
  11. Again, not if there is sufficient horizontal separation. you should be telling people on the plane you plan of pulling at 5K regardless of how you think the horizontal seperation is going to work out you especially should be telling people your pulling at 5K if they are doing the same type of jump as you(belly for example) and they plan on exiting after you
  12. this is how close it really is http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/13/self-driving-taxi-picks-you-up-at-the-press-of-a-button-video/
  13. kinda sounds like democracy huh? Sure go speed without a seat belt see where that gets you but do the majority of people want speeding without seatbelts to be legal or do the majority want it to be illegal? my personal opinion is irrelevant the opinion of the majority is what is relevant for example in new hampshire the majority dont want mandatory seat belts, so they dont have it(or at least they didnt it might have changed)
  14. people are still allowed to choose with cigarettes, as they should be. people dont have that free legal choice with other drugs. the same advertisign and control regulations that are on tobacco and alcohol should of course apply to weed when it is made legal and imo that would reduce use not increase it no a) the only involvement the state should have is regulation and taxation not manufacture or distribution are you now suggesting that giving birth control to teenagers is the wrong thing to do? cause if you are i might aswell stop typing right now yes we should expect more of ourselves. we should expect us to make the right decisions after having been educated on the FACTS and the proof is there that shows we do. the vast majority of us wont stay up till 5am on a sunday night pounding beers when we have work the next day. the vast majority of people wont drink if they know it makes them aggresive intolerable drunks. there will always be the ones who cant control themselves but this number is static it dosnt change just because something is or isnt legal. it changes with regards to education/ what changes due to legality is how those people are treated. i believe they would be treated far far better (like the dutch do) if these things were legalised(i care far far less about the legalisation of other drugs then i do the legalisation of marijuana but i wouldnt be opposed to some other substances being legalised)
  15. you can believe whatever you like but the facts show a different outcome look at the drug habits of the dutch for a perfect example, they ahve some of the lowest drug use in the developed world but some of the most relaxed laws. funny that isnt it? they have the highest percentage of 'functional addicts' when it comes to heroin because of their system of treatment what you have is baseless hysteria from close minded individuals who couldnt look at anything impartially usually when you grow up you start to see that things arent as black and white as you thought they were when you were a teenager this dosnt seem to have happened in your case
  16. so just make it legal whats the problem?
  17. you can go back further then the earliest humans they did an experiment were they taught monkeys the value of money in a labratory setting long story short one of the monkeys 'robbed the bank' and when the researchers went in to get the money they witnessed one monkey give another monkey some of the money amazed that they had just witnessed the first act of animal altruism they went about recording this only to look up a minute later and see the two monkeys fucking
  18. i have a problem with prostitution in countries were it is blanket banned and unregulated as this leads to forced prostitution and criminals in control i dont have a problem with it in a controlled and regulated enviroment like amsterdam, nevada, australia. i dont understand the whole paying for attention thing it really isnt that hard to get laid but then again iv never even been to a strip club so what do i know
  19. that didnt even dawn on me that would be awesome no more stupidly expensive taxis

  21. if i remember correctly stanford has a few youtube videos of the self driving cars they have been working on and google has very close ties with dtsnford so maybe they have decided to sponsor one of those projects
  22. there was a great video up here recently and i think it a compilation of socals training and load organising jumps but i cant find it anymore if anyone knows what im talking about please post it
  23. yes i understand that but i still fail to see what quades point is? there is no other way not everyone can be on top of the pyramid no matter how hard everyone works
