Yo bro... here is my kewl story...

I'm sure others have done it before but I'm typing this live from 38,000 ft over New Mexico on an Airliner. They have an internet special for $5.00 for the entire trip.

I also was able to fire up my client, change skills, undock, fly to the sun and redock before the graphics card ate my battery. My wife took pictures as she could not believe it. She said, "That's my husband Jet, in his natural habitat".


Edit: Here is the pic my wife took from the isle seat behind me...

Lucky man...about the spousal unit part. We all can use such support.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

I always fly business class and it's already pure hell. As soon as internet is a reality onboard flights there will be 12 hours of non-stop skype dribling lunatics posing to be important.

They need a new class of flying... A quiet one where they only serve large drinks.

Sadly, I am forced to fly several times a year due to my job. Being stuck in a cramped chair next to some random member of the public for a couple of hours is about as close to Hell as it gets for me.

We already have an epidemic of classless tossers who rudely broadcast their mobile phone conversations to everyone in the immediate vicinity. Imagine this on a plane.

I can't wait for air travel to become a lot more expensive. Nowadays it's like catching a bus.

Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana.

Previous job had me flying every week. Company paid for the flights and the flight company was a budget airline which crams extra rows of seats into a standard 737. How could I tell that there were extra rows of seats? Not every row had their own overhead lights or air vents. Some times the air vents would be behind your head or out of arms reach in front of you. Sucks being over 6' where your knees are jammed into the seat in front of you.

Lucky the flights were only about 60-80 min each direction. I always wished I had net connection while on the plane.

I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees

Jet please note that I find your story to be extremely impressive because I am assuming that you are also piloting said airliner. The fact that you haven't stated that you aren't leads me to assume that you are. If this is correct, please do not veer off course and crash into my apartment building in Florida. This would not be good. Straight

Amazing what you can achieve with modern technology these days.

When I was a mere boy we never had any of these new fangled ideas and all of this was simply science fiction. Such an amazing testimony to the achievements of human kind and how far we have advanced in such a short space of time.

Also as a secondary minor point nice that they offered you the internet.

Please never forget that you can't fly a plane by doubleclicking onto the front window. XD

I wonder if Jet has those implants that increase the speed of your ship?

Snakes, on a plane!

edit: nm, I was too slow with that one :\

Hear hear!

Too much couch dwelling non contributing slackers in combination with too cheap airplane tickets only leads to one thing:

Once the imbecils mix their gin tonic with their already pill-souped up and mentally challanged bodies we get the only liable result: You can't get a fricking drink on the plane anymore because some morons have problems controlling them selves. crap.

Once on a plane from Kora to Amsterdam (I flew that route frequently before) I was waiting for my nut-mix. I liked that nut mix. Only problem was when they arrived with their trolley, they only had dry crackers. I asked why the hell do you only serve crackers? Because there is one(!) passager whom is alergic to nuts. Ehm... Is he sitting close to me? No... So what the hell? Nope, not a chance.

I want my god dam nut mix....

Another time I had to babysit a fricking narced up epileptic teenager who was insistant of tearing up the emergency exit door. The flight attendants came up to me and asked if I wanted to change to an emergency exit (no business on that plane). Sure I said and of I went. Soon only to discover the horror which awaited me when this spasmatic freak started shouting and stuff. I went and told the attendants what was going on and they replied: Why do you think we put you there?

Takes the fricking smeg.
