Scams ... how to make this a better place
joaocorreia replied to joaocorreia's topic in Suggestions and Feedback
I had posted an ad for the selling of my helmet and received a scam. Im a web professional and this was pretty easy to detect. The thing is ... how can we protect the whole community of this plague ? Do you think restricting the classifieds to FAI license holders would be good ? bad ? make any sense ? Regards Joao -
How did you had a hard landing with 11 jumps ? Get well Joao

Royal .2, Optica .3 and Raynox .3 CX-100 Lens comparison
joaocorreia replied to Cyrus79's topic in Photography and Video
Hello, Do you think the "not so wider" view on the Raynox might be the adapter rings fault ? If you notice the adapter ring is going to alter the distance to the sensor so there must be implications on the image. Joao -

Jumps at 20.000ft with O2 and health

Hello, Is there health issues with jumping from 20.000 ft with oxygen ? What happens to your body in the process ? Best regards Joao Correia -
Average altitude / price per ft
joaocorreia replied to joaocorreia's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hello, Im a newbie skydiver, 46 jumps so far. At the DZ where I jump (planes:Grand Caravan and King Air) exits are made at 12000 feet max ! most of times below that, 11.000ft jumps are common. The majority of the loads are tandems. I feel a big diference between 11000 and 14000 !. Well most of the jumps are tandems ... sometimes its more a TandemZone then DropZone. Im skydiving for fun, I dont care whats the altitude for championships, I just want to have fun. Whats the average altitude for a DZ ? Whats the average price per ft ? Best regards Joao Correia -

Copyright, creative commons, patents

Hello, I see lots of people worried with copyright. Imagine a guy invents a new propeller that can increase efficiency of climb in airplanes by 50%. He doesnt want anyone to use it and demands 1 billion for each propeller made. This is an extreme example but read on. Everyone loses. Patents and copyright laws are too restrictive. Copyright means patents, patents refrain evolution because you cant work on top of someone's work, thats bad for the whole society. I advise everyone to read about Creative Commons http://creativecommons.org/ and listen the conference of Lawrence Lessig about the world we live in and what copyright laws are doing. http://randomfoo.net/oscon/2002/lessig/ This is not only about video but everything around us, including evolutions in the equipment we jump, planes, etc ! Share more, be good! Good jumps Joao
