  1. You guys should really stop feeding the troll. He's admitted to being one over in SC and its been pretty obvious early in this thread he's trolling yet again. Pretty sure you guys have made your point should any newbies find their way over here and think "I wonder if I should strap a camera on my head..." You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  2. He's saying he has 1337 jumps because that's gamer/hax0rz (hacker) talk for being "leet" aka "elite" 1=L, 3=E, 7=T. edit: Looks like someone beat me to it. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  3. no boobies option? bah You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  4. I'd stuff them with tasty snacks until their stomach popped ala the movie "Seven" You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

  6. I'm 6'2" 205 out the door and love my phantom 2. That being said, I will try out an R bird / S bird next year and see if I want to switch. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  7. "Ready, Set, GO!" - that's not too long. Now, whether there's 5 or 55 sec freefall after - for me it's like a somewhat interesting movie and it takes time to bring it all back for cold minded analysis. Much easier to fly again and do some comparative analysis. You know, more data there is, sharper the results are. It's all about getting data, I think. Wider the bandwidth - longer the time seems. p.s. I read somewhere that human brain is processing 72 Gb per second? On a tangent, "they" don't know what the hell the brain can do. I remember years ago when the brain was supposed to be equal to a bunch 486s networked together with one really big hard drive for storage. And then they were like, "Oh, its about the same as a room full of pentium 2s" And so on. And so forth. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  8. It's why we monitor ALTITUDE instead of time when executing EPs. That second try you're advocating may have just put you too late to save your butt. On the other hand ALTITUDE may allow you 4, 5, or 6 chances. I'm surprised that something like this wasn't your first post :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  9. The same can be said of any of a number of military weapons. Doesn't mean the public should have access to them. Pretty sure they had bayonets when they drafted the 2nd amendment. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  10. Question: Do you think that the related crime would be less if prostitution were legal? Research has shown that those crimes actually go up when its legalized. You just going to leave that sentence hanging there? No citations/links to specific supporting research? And that's only half the job, because you're also going to have to acknowledge, and then rebut, counter-concluding research. Do the due diligence, then come back and see us. I'll dig up the links when I get a chance later today. It's not like the SC is a heavily cited, peer-reviewed place :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

  13. http://www.chutingstar.com/skydive/m2 Got this off Chuting Star "In the U.S., the m2 currently has approvals for use in the following rigs: Javelin, Vector, Wings, Icon, Infinity, Basik 7 and Mirage. But other approvals may already be completed as well. Contact your rig manufacturer for more information." You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  14. I was 33. Sometimes I wish I'd started right at 18, or even 21. But then I look back at how I was, and I probably would have killed myself doing something dumb. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

  16. Building a bomb is actually very, very easy. It only takes a little guidance, and in the Google-Age, a matter of seconds to find a set of good instructions. You can make very deadly ones out of plenty of easily bought things -- not even counting gunpowder which obviously is a great and easy thing to use. In fact, if I'm purely buying from commercial stores w/o any sort of license (like a CCW that lets you skip the waiting period), I can buy components for and build a very powerful bomb in less than a day where as I have to wait much longer as a background check puts my handgun purchase on hold.

  17. The guy broke 40+ laws. What extra law(s) could there have been that would have made him say, "Maybe I shouldn't do this." Crazy people find ways to be crazy, be it with guns or pressure cookers. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  18. When I was nearing 100, I wanted to get my rating ASAP. For a variety of reasons, I didn't until I was almost at 200 (mostly because I jump at a small dz, and lining up a time where I could get my FJC teaching portion done was getting in the way). I'm glad I ended up waiting longer. I was a good jumper at my jump number, but I certainly wasn't so good that flying was second nature enough that I could focus the majority of my attention on a student to a degree that was both useful and safe for both of us. And of course, I don't think it's *just* about the jump numbers. With jump numbers comes time in the sport, and with that time comes talking to others, learning from others, seeing and reading about accidents first hand, etc. Tunnel time can certainly teach you to guide your body against an airflow, but that's just a small portion of what goes into a skydive.

  19. That happiness and joy is what this bomber took from Boston http://www.csnne.com/article/tragedy-bostons-biggest-holiday Domestic nuts usually aim for something Government, like a Federal building, official, etc. something that represents what they are fighting against. They certainly don't want the entire population against them. Foreign terrorists, otoh, who hate a particular country as a whole, find ample and easy targets with civilians.

  20. WTF??? Way to start a mass panic, fuckin stupid. Probably kill 10 times more people that way. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  21. I imagine we'll know soon. Groups like to take credit pretty quick. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  22. I see what you did there. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  23. Not excusing it, but it sounds like he took a page from the DHS http://www.ijreview.com/2013/02/38129-reason-police-using-pregnant-women-and-children-for-target-practice/ You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  24. That's because the guy used the equivalent of a pellet gun in his rampage. Sure, you could kill someone, but it's not that easy. Had he brought an assault blade (say, a katana, machete, or ax), I guarantee that there would have been a body count. You can kill a person with a xacto knife if you cut in the right place, like the jugular in the neck, for example. But, it's harder to do so when they're running from you or fighting you off. I'm aware of that. You can also kill someone with a pellet gun. It's just not easy to do, especially if they are running or fighting you off.
