Yes, you're right of course. That's not what I meant, but it certainly can be mis-interpreted from my post. The point I was trying to make was that on a hop'n'pop more experienced jumpers will exit, get stable, and deploy without thinking about it too much. The less experienced jumpers should make it a concious effort to execute the three steps, in order. "Low" altitude hop'n'pops can be intimidating, especially to AFF-students, causing them to unnecessarily hurry the deployment, thus forgetting the "get stable" part. Altitude awareness should of course be kept as the first priority.

>Also one would need to hold it for more than 20 seconds, then >I think the protrack would tell the maximum speed Right, I forgot about that(I don't have a Protrack myself). I guess someone with a proper datalogger and sensors should make some research...

Something the CRW-jumpers on my DZ emphasize, while coaching new jumpers the basics of CF, is the "exit sequence": Of course the same advice can(and should) be applied to all jumps. Congrats on the safe cutaway!

WTF? Why on earth? Unless you're being sarcastic, of course.

>But I think that's how most people form moral judgements. Is there another way? The concepts of "right" and "wrong" are just something an individual feels right and wrong. Of course there may be some help from religious writings and upbringing, but where do right and wrong come from if not from the judgement of individual people? >Few people, I think, have a hard-and-fast list of morals they consult Is that good or bad? Would you rather follow a _list_ of rights and wrongs, or do what you feel is right?

CLAY! She liked Elvis, I think you have a chance afterall!

>Isn't reading the instructions a "Last Resort." Of course. 1. Try it yourself(failed) 2. Ask someone(failed, they told to RTFM) 3. Try it again 4. Read the manual(the shame! the humility!) I'm pretty sure the instructions for "subliminal messages" have been covered before.

>Ask Erno. I think he was the programming geek that figured it out. Well, yes, but that's old news. In short: Read The Fucking Manual. Hint: make the text the same color as the background...

As I recall, you were forgiven for the first picture after you re-posted your belly-picture. And then you went ahead and posted Elvis...

I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.

The first thing I thought was that your definitions 2-4 were more or less the same thing. Especially 2 and 4. I'm not sure the word "wrong" is actually very often used in a strictly legal context. "Legal" of course varies from one country to another, and "morally wrong" and "emotionally disquieting" seem to go hand in hand. Yes, I'd use the OED but their web-service costs money... ;P

I don't care where the genes come from, the problem I have is with the increased potential of disfigured/unhealthy babies as a result of cloning. And, well, the overall pointlessness of the idea; there are enough people on the planet as it is, without articial ways of making more of us.

>I think I better stick with,"I dont speak German" Hey, don't take my word for it, I don't know any German, I just Google pretty well... >What an angry sounding language that is.... Why yes it is, you'd get your face wet if you listened to the national anthem too close to the singer...

Ich spreche nur ein klein wenig Deutsch. = I only speak a little German.
-
See...now you went and ruined everything! ...but that of course would be the next logical step. Horrible! Better?
-
Oh god. I had blissfully almost forgotten those.

>scary enough?, if not, let's clone Saddam and Osama, So what? If the cloning succeeds, you'll have two babies. One with the same genes as Saddam, the other with the same genes as Osama. That doesn't make the babies inherently evil. If said persons, for some reason, wanted to create followers for themselves, regular babies from an orphanage would be an easier, more practical choice. Seriously, we aren't talking about mini-me here...

>if you say things like that, >you gotta put a smiley next to them. Where's the fun in that? Besides, people's sarcasm-o-meters are almost useless already... a little practise wont hurt anyone. mister, will you sign my velcro-gloves?
-
>Woohoo!!! I'm not as much of a loser as I thought! Oh, not by a long shot... What would a sorry ass lifeless nerd do on a friday night if he couldn't look up info on the smurfs?
-
Why should people be cloned? There's reason enough not to: Most of the respectable scientists keep issuing warnings about possible complications in cloned babies.

>Nope...Gargamel was the cat's owner. Arial(SP?) was the >cat's name..... Damn you beat me to it... Although you did get the critters name wrong, it's Azrael(like the demon). Get your facts straight at http://www.smurf.com.

It's not like it would be the first avatar here that's throwing up... And I only saw the puke for a second, it changed into a bunny almost instantly. And I never saw an albino penis.
-
The force is strong in this one... train her well!
-
I just don't get the point. Why bother cloning a human? btw, the first time a looked at your avatar I was wondering "why is the ppg throwing up?"....

Touché.
