Nope I meant subsonic. A few years ago boeing had models and artist rendetions of a sonic airliner. Supposedly the idea is to build an aircraft the can travel faster than a traditional airliner but keep its speed just under the speed of sound. This so it can travel over land or transcontinetal areas and not be limited to just only over water flight when flying at high rates of speed. im bored John I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

***747s in an all tourist class configuration can hold 550*** so basically if an a380 had only all coach class then how many over the 555(3 class configuration) would the passanger manifest go over? imo-If it could be more economical. Air travel should move towards sub sonic travel and not how many people an airline can sardine the most into a behemoth of an airplane. I am bored John

For me just looking at this plane makes me quesey. I just dont like fact of 555 people being on one airplane and besides that. Just think of what it would be like going through customs after a full flight. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050116/ap_on_bi_ge/airbus_a380_s_debut im bored John

whuffo news reporters.

IMO- I think you should draw the character first, then give them names. whats about the other characters? In the comic, is their going be the resident spotter named "keller" who says with confidence "I am a good spotter" also instead of giving the skygod a synonym name for god howabout something like "Dick" aka Dick and Zed Simple sometimes works wonders. please forgive me i am bored also john

How about "The burble brothers" As far as the "D" name what about "Damek" which is czech for earth. Do you have a drawing of the characters you can post. Sometimes after seeing the characters will match a name to the character....or the character will scream it name off the page when people see it. (if the comic was on the neighbors comic page--I cannot get to it.) Also is your comic going to have the resident antagonist "farmer Macnasty"? john

only comments i have about this is why didnt i think of it first. I could use 20k right now. There are also allot of copycaters selling their big bigheads on ebay now. Is their anything that hasn't been sold on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=317&item=5947720145&rd=1 John

I agree....but the law does play a role on weather or not she spends life in jail , life in a mental hospital or just some time in a mental hospitall. from what i read on the insanity defense from the link in posted in a previous post. It seems that if a doctor finds her "not a threat to society". Then she could walk away from a mental hospital not ever been charge with a crime. To my understanding the insanity defense law differs from state to state. Some states have it where you cannot be acquitted of a criminal act by reason of insanity. If you are found guilty by reason of insanity you spend the rest of your life in a mental health institution. the ladder-- innocent means you can be acquitted, serve time in a mental hospital, and then walk freely without ever being charged of a crime. ......... then again I'm not a lawyer and don't read lawyer stuff very well. John

Can anyone clear something up about the texas insanity law. is the law Innocent by reason of insanity -- or Guilty by reason of insanity. From my limited understanding the first one would still send them to a mental hospital but after a time of evaluation of doctors the person could be released from state care and walk free without any jail time. if it is guilty by reason of insanity then they are committed the rest of their lives? http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/cqcgi?CQ_SESSION_KEY=XTKIICLJQJBS&CQ_QUERY_HANDLE=124819&CQ_CUR_DOCUMENT=3&CQ_TLO_DOC_TEXT=YES john

it just so sad john

www.outpost.com If you shopping arround for a new computer dont be afraid of Amd's processors. You can propably get a good priced on a athlon with atleast over 2 ghz cpu and it would be atleast better than a celeron. Also for the graphics card I agree with other's comments on ati. Also Ever thought of asking a "geek" friend to build a computer for you? Just ask him/her what type of motherboard plus case. Then you have the options of tranferring--if compatible--memory graphics card and harddrive to the newer computer....or you could buy a new graphics card, hard drive and memory for a newer computer. Imho 500 will only get you a low end proprietary(sp) computer. Which means you cant really change anything on it. john

I know this is a day late but i just saw it today. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/santabadger.html happy new year. John

.... broken about a week into the new year....... So what are your news years resolutions? Mine are: Find a job-a good paying one pay off a student loan save up for 2 weeks in perrisdice(perris) including tunnel time and enough for gear rental and jumps for A license. after completing 3rd resolution finally be happy with my skydiving. merry christmas and happy new year John I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

um I think shaq is a bad example for the point you are trying to make. Wasn't, He an army brat growing up? Shaq's father served in the army and shaq grew up in san antonio, tx while his father was stationed at fort sam houston. Btw i do agree no soldier should have to pay for food while in a hostile enviorment. ( I could understand if they where in a stateside non-combat envoirment. ) They have other things to worry about than paying 12.00 a day at the mess hall john I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

I was just thanking you for pointing out what was already on the website-The terms and conditions. Although to me it seems it is word to protect the authors of the website and not the individual. So i guess it always good for anyone who gives advice on forums to first say "It's best to talk to your coach first or Did you already speak with you rigger or instructor?" John >> I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

Thank you phree > I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

hi Do you think a disclaimer in the term of the site would alleviate from such an occurrence and for the Guest to forums and rest of dropzone.com a "splash" page were any guest would have to accept before the entered the site? A waiver just to read dropzone.com? something like this but written better **disclaimer.....Any advice give on Dropzone.com is for informational purposes only. If you have any more questions. It will be best to consult with a licesened USPA(or your country's equivalent) coach or if dealing with gear a licensed F.A.A rigger at a local dropzone. So please have common since and ask an expert at your dropzone and don't rely on second hand information. blue skies John > I hate being unemployed I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

hi I dont post much but I'd figured I'd post this link. It gave me a good laugh. Just scroll through the pictures to see the story. John > http://www.ebaumsworld.com/truckwater.html > I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

Instead of dealing with proprietary crappy machines(except apple). why not build your own computer? There are allot of computer store that sell what are barebone systems or computer componets for good prices. Barebones are just computers with the basic elements. which are a case, power supply, motherboard n processor, and some time come with video cards but not always. So in most part with a barebone all you have to do is buy memory, os, and new harddrive. Nowadays for the most part building a computer is fairly simple most of it is plug in play. www.outpost.com you just got to check with them when they have good deals and if you find a good deal then you might save a bit of money too. Ever thought about shopping on ebay? Just Shop with caution and you can find a good deal there too which ever route you go dont buy anything from best buy! It is best to buy direct from manufacturer-like dell and oh yeah avoid E-machines. good luck John

Snapple at one time made Root Beer that Didn't have any carmel colour added to it. It looked liked water but tasted like root beer nonetheless. John

No offense taken, but no one beneifits from any type of major sterotyping. Oh yeah! I edited my last post to show I was being sarcastic Sorry I forget to add that in the beginnng I do agree with you somewhat that things need to change a bit with the war. It could have gone much better than it has gone. War isnt a pretty thing and it will never will be. Did you expect america to turn tail and just bow down to terrorist after september 11th? Diplomacy does not work with terriosist-ask israel Albeit allot of things could of went differently. we could of never invaded Iraq. Saddam would still be in power. Where he would still be ruling like his mentor Joesph stalin and still be giving weapons inspectors the overall run around. OverAll have no more fear Our elections are less than three weeks away. I think Herman Monster aka John kerry will be elected president then the world Will be rid of george bush. Just my opinions once again Peace!

http://pediatrics.about.com/b/a/048816.htm Overall I think obesity boils down to personal choices in dieting. Jared from subway would still probably be a Fat ass if he had never made the choice to change his diet. Also we may be the fattest country in the world but we are still one of the most productive countries in the world. Just my opinion. **sorry for the bad grammar and spelling... after all I have already been stereotyped as a Lazy stupid ignorant fat ass american(sarcasm)** Beware the krispy Kreme empire..it's going to take over the world John
