    What was every person's motive not to sign? Truth or Career? Also for the ones that didn't sign, were they qualified in climate science? Or some other discipline of physics? They may not have been qualified in that area.

    Yes, that is what I was thinking. Hence my reply.

    Just to put this in perspective for you, to become a rigger only requires a minimum of 20 reserves to be packed (*) before you are allowed to pack reserves for a paying customer. Also, there is no requirement that a rigger has to have ever made a jump. This in no way implies a new rigger is not capable and safe, just giving you some perspective. *There are other requirement to become a rigger in addition to the packing requirements.

    Which pilot is in jail?

    They had audibles in the 70's? I'd like to see the size of that thing since micro electronics were still a long ways away. It must have been the size of a boom box. Also, they may have had free flying in the 70's but it was called flailing.

    Or it could be a newbie with only a handful of jumps trying to learn since they may not have a past reference to make an informed decisions. If you see the "old timers" sitting out when it's windy, it's probably because they have jumped in those conditions when they were newbies(and immortal) and learned when it is to windy and when it is not.

    This is possibly the most useless and ignorant reply to a post I have read in a long time. Thanks for the laugh though, Krip.

    There has been an investigation. I guess you missed it.

    When you did your first tandem, did you watch them pack it before you jumped with your TI? If you did watch, did you have a clue what they were doing? I doubt it. After you learn to pack, you will find out that it is not a big mystery how it all works. Until you actually learn to pack, you can't tell if a parachute is being packed properly so you are trusting the packer 100%. What about your reserve? Slow down and take it one step at a time.

    You might take a little more time to ensure that your posts are grammatically correct before you start flaming other people. Furthermore, it's not difficult to judge distance when the damn canopy is bumping against the tandem passenger. I'm pretty sure that the fact the tandem passenger grabs the top skin of the videographer's canopy provides a relatively good reference point to judge distance. Sounds like maybe you jump here.... I love when people point out spelling mistakes as a way to refute an argument. Always makes me laugh. You may want to re-read your own writings. I see a problem with sentence structure.

    It's Bush's fault.

    Please don't ban rhys. I love his post. They are very funny and entertaining.

    Still a very poor argument.

    An employer may credit a portion of a tipped employee's tips against the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. An employer must pay at least $2.13 per hour. However, if an employee's tips combined with the employer's wage of $2.13 per hour do not equal the hourly minimum wage, the employer is required to make up the difference.*** http://www.dol.gov/wb/faq26.htm

    That is the lamest response I have ever read. Not even a real comparison. The Government forcing you to buy something is now the same as not paying the taxes you owe. Bill, I can't believe you wrote that and even worse, possibly believe it.

    You are probably aware of this because I'm sure your instructor informed you. You need to be careful spiraling near 1000 feet with a student Cypress. If you spiral hard enough and exceed 29MPH decent, around 1000 feet the Cypress can fire. Just a reminder.

    Most of the time, I'd say 85-90% of it - this is pure sheep mentality. This is true for anything - skis, skateboards, bikes, whatever. "The top guys use 'x-product', so will i - it will make me better!". No, it wont. That sums it up very nicely.

    They are the same thing.

    And you sound just like a liar...... I don't think I have ever seen anyone with so many tangents and misdirections when caught lying as Chango.

    Classy. I believe some use that term in place of the term fuck off. I'm sure Quade didn't mean it like that though. Moderators would never make personal attacks.

    The difference is that Glenn Beck is a stupid, propagandist clown, He is comparable to Maddow and Olberman.

    How do you considered this to be socialized medicine? Socialized medicine is usually describe as a medical system that is publicly financed, government administered, or both. You got a bill from everyone involved that wants to get paid for their work, which you or your insurance company must pay. So how is this socialized medicine?

    Wow. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Dude, like Andy said and I proposed, either unblock PM's or just quit addressing me; it's trashing teh forum. Do you give a fuck about others here? They don't enjoy it. Show a little respect to this place. If you quit addressing him(whoever him is) he has nothing to reply to. You don't need to get in the last word just because you think your pride will be hurt. No reason to defend your pride on some obscure website. Stop posting and it ends. Simple. I await your response.

    I'm still waiting for this groundbreaking news you claimed would come out in September. Or was that not the truth and you are now revising your truth. They can't both be true.

    Sorry for the thread drift but what are "friction lines". I'm assuming they're referring to lines that come into contact with the slider. I had assumed something similar. Just wanted to get mmundry take on it.
