That seems a bit more like the situation at hand, no? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Not sure, exactly. But since people have been touting water as the only byproduct of the hydrogen breakdown I figured it might be an issue. So hydrogen powered cars will produce less water over the course of 60 miles than a gasoline engine will? (Which likely doesn't matter if we can't figure out how to manufacture it inexpensively.) Finally - since hydrogen, at least based on today's technology' doesn't likely have a real future - what is the solution for the future? Hybrids are here now, perhaps a bio-diesel/hybrid? I would imagine that solar is way too expensive. It's no secret that we'll run out of oil one day - what's next, and more importantly, what has a real shot? OK - One LAST question(s) - since hydrogen likely doesn't have a future why are spending any money on it at all? Who pumped up the masses with the notion that hydrogen would save us all? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Hydrogen, neat. I have to wonder though, does hydrogen really have a shot as the fuel of the future? How much energy does it take to produce hydrogen? I seem to recall that it's a lot, a whole lot more than we get out of it. The next obvious question is - where is the energy necessary to produce hydrogen going to come from? One final question about the viability of hydrogen powered cars - how will they fare, or how will WE fare with hydrogen powered cars in the states that tend to get cold in the winter? Their only emission is water, right? I'm seeing a whole lot of icy roads here. Am I mistaken? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Dave, if people searched the forums every time they had a question we'd have about 3 new threads a week in the topical forums. Let him ask, let him start a new discussion. Really, is it any skin off --your-- back? Bite me. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Congratulations. You are aware that voilent crime in the US is at an all time low, correct? Are you aware that this comes at a time when private ownership of firearms is at an all time high? And not everybody here thinks that the answer to voilent crime is owning a gun. However, I'll bet that those people who were murdered or forcibly raped wished that they had something more substantial with which to defend themselves than a call to 911. Asking again, by the way - John asked you why you were OK with guards protecting property having guns but not the population at large who might wish to protect their lives with the most effective means available in a time of crisis. I'm still waiting on an answer. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Perhaps the stupidest and most misinformed post you've made in this entire thread. Congratulations. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Were there any murders commited in Canada last year? Forcible rapes? Armed home invasions? By the way - you didn't answer John's question. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

How did the police know that they weren't being stored in accordance with the law? Confiscation of private property is confiscation of private property - whether it's property you find offensive or unnecessary or not has nothing to do with it. I'm willing to bet that there are approximately 185,000 licensed firearms holders who will disagree with you. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Of course he's not. He'd likely have a fit if the government came and confiscated his air-conditioner, but since an EVIL gun, something he thinks he doesn't need and likely doesn't approve of it's all OK. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Nice to know that some things are the same no matter where you are. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I think we should have an online pool of who's going to femur or die when making the leap to a highly loaded elliptical too soon. It would be neat to be able to go back and say "See, I told you it would happen" - and perhaps get the newbies to listen. On the other hand, that probably wouldn't work either. It also assumes that his profile is up to date. Either way - It would be prudent to evaluate his skills and speak with those who jump with him before actually providing a demo or loaner canopy. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

Ha! My grandmother used to teach in highschool. One year they had a student who thought it would be a great idea to swipe some potassium from the chem lab, he did - and put it in his pants pocket on a hot and sweaty day. You can put that on the list of things that didn't go so well. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

That's unfortunate, and one of the first things I really missed when moving to Firefox. Since it's possible to detect the browser type, could we, for non-IE users, keep the "Copy shortcut" link available and instead of simply being able to click on it do a right click "Copy link location"? I realize that Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc . . . represent only a small portion of the market, but it would be a nice feature to have. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

I have to agree. Calling his boss over something you have no direct knowledge of, something that happened outside of work, and finally is completely unrealted to work is way out of line. Way out of line. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

How's that going to work? You present your "I'm poor" card at the cashier? Specifically which foods and which clothing products will be exempt? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Has anyone flown with a tandem container recently?
Jimbo replied to LawnDart21's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not everywhere, they're not. I met a jumper in Puerto Rico who had to spend his first hour or so on the airport having his reserve repacked. The TSA insisted that it be opened and then proclaimed that they had no idea what it was that they were looking at. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -
Fear and Lothing in canopy selection
Jimbo replied to davelepka's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Be sure to include the sound(s). The sound of the jumper hitting the dirt, the sound of the jumping crying from the pain, and the sounds from the croud that witnessed the accident. Very powerful in my opinion. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -
PD Factory team - new distance record!!
Jimbo replied to Kolla's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Didn't Shannon credit his record to something similar? I could swear I read that in an old Parachitist or maybe even here. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -
Sounds like you also had the newbie mentality of needing to land into the wind. Be careful, that one has killed and maimed quite a few. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
