  1. Cool. I'm not currently looking, but you never know. I expect that the recovery from the current recession will be a good time for career advancement. The time to start laying that foundation is now. That was my reasoning... And while I'm not a software engineer, there's ample job opportunities in my region. Easily searchable too.
  2. no, only that western opnion about it is heavily tainted by those who claim blowing up school buses is Allah's wish. No holy text preaches violence. It's the occasional corrupt and power hungry figurehead who manipulates their followers into senseless wars and acts of violence. It's the interpretation that is at fault.

  3. That was a lone nutter, not a nutter manipulated by a political extremnist faction. Well, if you really are detemined to see muslims discriminated against in this issue, don't let me stop you from it..

  4. True - we can pay at the supermarket with our ATM card. What do we need a credit card for but to buy a membership on DZ.com BIGUN: Does your proposal include all the forums? In that case you'll get rid of an awful lot of legit users too.

  9. People that reply to an OP without first reading the entire thread. [rant] This is especially annoying when a new skydiver posts about something that would be dangerous. Before you know it, the thread gets a lot of replies ranging from 'you dumb fuck' to 'perhaps you shouldn't do that because X and Y'. When the OP subsequently has posted several bloody times that they have seen the error of their ways you STILL get these 'you dumb fuck'-replies, which are at that point even more contra-productive than ever.

  10. I used to be a research technician connected to the gastroenterology department of a hospital. What I've heard about coloscopy / endoscopy / colorectal examination from doctors has led me to believe it takes a special kind of person to become proficient at those examinations. Not only do they put a flexible tube up people's 'place where the sun don't shine' and wiggle it about and back and forth, but they also have an integrated fiber-optic camera to let them see what they're doing. Sometimes, if they have the patient's permission, they shoot video of the procedure for instructional purposes - which are subsequently shown at seminars all over the world.. it seems that it also takes a special kind of patient to give such permission.

  11. Source: www.fab-europe-central.eu Interesting: Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland aspire to share thier ATC-resources, the 'Single European Sky'. according to this article According to the declaration of intent: my emphasis: What worries me is that skydiving or even General Aviation is not specifically mentioned anywhere in any of the documents on this site (I viewed nearly all of them), except in a flyer stating that 'general aviation representatives' were present at some presentation. That flyer continues to state that the concept 'received positive feedback', but fails to mention any questions raised. Is skydiving (or indeed GA as a whole) to be shut down in this Single European Sky? Or are we included in the definition of "civil air traffic"? Logic suggests the latter would be the case, but the current probelms with the Dutch CAA have made me quite leery of any official blanket document/definition. So, as "users of the airspace are being kept informed about the development", I would like to know what our Belgian, French, German, Luxembourg, Swiss and other Dutch skydivers have heard so far about these plans and especially what difficulties (if any) skydivers in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland are currently having with their government. Obiously, your feedback would help enourmously in determining whether the Dutch CAA is acting on its own accord, or whether European skydivers are headed for dark times indeed...

  14. Yeah!! He doesn't snore, take up more than their half of the bed and he doesn't complain that he has to pee in the morning before playtime!! Sorry, got to disagree with you there too...

  23. You know, people brainlessly starting to scream "get out" would probably make me so insecure and scared that it will take me up to ten times as long as normal to exit..depending on when I estimate that i can just make it back to the LZ "That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom
  24. Lied? No. But I voted 'Slightly Embellished'. Why? I was just learning some of the techniques on my resume. Can I operate an electronmicroscope of the specific type I worked with reliably and autonomously enough to get pictures? Definately, provided there are no hiccups with the machine. Is it likely that any other laboratory that takes itself seriously has such an antiquated POS standing around somewhere except on display? Not very.

  25. Over here most people think that groceries get bagged by a supermarket employee only in Hollywood flicks. Cashiers in the Netherlands get to sit all day too! It's a disgrace, I tell you!
