    Dirty 30

    I'm turning 30 in April. I still feel like I'm 20/21. I'm in denial. I don't like it, and 20 year olds look like babies with nappies on. They say the 30s are awesome, but I'm having a hard time believing that.[mad/] Any advice on rolling over to 30?
  6. Might be some spyware or something running in the background. I had this problem before. I also had to update my Flash/Adobe player. Do some general comp maintenance if you can, and that usually helps. If not, it might just be busy.

    B.A.S.E. Demo

    Can anybody get the B.A.S.E. video game demo to download? Is it even up yet? http://d3company.com/base.html Cool new trailer too. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_46sMEA30k0
  9. Gravity Games 2006 was pretty lame, its a damn shame when the demos, and 'side shows' are better then the actual medal events, but whatever. Anyway, the highlight of the show for me was Mossy from Skydive Xpress did his thing, and swooped in the Swan River. I've jumped with him a few times, hes an awesome coach, and a lot of fun. Cheers Mossy!
  10. I provided the most relevant definition to lift, not 36 plus irrelevant, unsubjective definitions. In the end it was also concluded that all of us are flying, not just the one with wings. Sorry to upset you.
  11. I have yet to see a Hybrid Car in West Oz.
  12. ...and thats just the wife. Awesome pups!
  13. They are wings, and we are flying (even if we don't have wings. While the common meaning of the term "lift" suggests an "upwards" action, in fact, the direction of lift (and its definition) does not actually depend on the notions of "up" and "down", e.g., as defined with respect to the direction of the gravity. Specifically, the term negative lift refers to the lift force directed "down".
  14. Correct, but it does say perpendicular. Only unless your 'wing' creates a right angle, perpendicular to relative airflow, then it is not a wing and does not create lift.
  15. What kinda room is that? Looks like some sorta psycho, twisted, swordfish carpenter. Glad you didn't have to go to court.
  16. So, you are providing a 'bit more lift' but its still falling. Lift: The lift force, lifting force or simply lift consists of the sum of all the fluid dynamic forces on a body perpendicular to the direction of the external flow approaching that body. Unless you can fly back up to 14,000 feet, I don't think those are wings, or somewhere there of, I don't think they are wings.
  17. Does a 'wing' have to provide lift to be a 'wing'? If it does, then your not really using wings.
  18. According to dictionary.com: fly1 /flaɪ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[flahy] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, flew or, for 11, 19, flied, flown, fly·ing, noun, plural flies. –verb (used without object) 1. to move through the air using wings. (we don't have wings) 2. to be carried through the air by the wind or any other force or agency: bits of paper flying about. (we're not really being 'carried', but that doesn't matter, because it doesn't specify whether 'carried' is vertically, or horizontally through the air) 3. to float or flutter in the air: flags flying in the breeze. (well, we're not floating for sure, however some of us might be fluttering) 4. to travel in an aircraft or spacecraft. (we're not in space, but that doesn't matter because vertical or horizontal doesn't really exist in space, or does it?) 5. to move suddenly and quickly; start unexpectedly: He flew from the room. (we're not in a room, unless you consider the sky the room, but we are moving suddenly, and quickly) 6. to change rapidly and unexpectedly from one state or position to another: The door flew open. (yeah, that does happen) 7. to flee; escape. (well now, there is a few jokes in that one) 8. to travel in space: The probe will fly past the planet. (Again, vertical, or horizontal, or does it matter? We are not flying PAST the planet however, we are flying, or moving, towards it) 9. to move or pass swiftly: How time flies! (yeah, I suppose, a bit vague though) 10. to move with an aggressive surge: A mother fox will fly at anyone approaching her kits. (yeah, that happens) I don't know. Is vertical falling flying?
