They didn't tear the Kingdome to make two different buildings. The baseball park was built along side the Kingdome, it was only when the football stadium was built that the Kingdome was demolished. The increase in revenue also comes from higher property values and increase in the number of residential homes in the area. But anyways your point is invalid as it applies to the Oakland/Fremont park, as that park is privately financed.
Sony's are based on Minolta dSLR and use the same lenses as Minoltas as well. Sony also makes the sensors that goes in to Canon Elphs and also Nikon dSLRs.
Leica cameras other than the M8 shares the platform with Panasonic Lumix, its basically the same guts and and lense but not as sexy name or build, but the Panasonic should be more reasonable in price than a Leica. Panasonic LX-2 is pretty much the same camera as the Leica D-LUX 3 for example. The D-Lux 3 goes for about 600 whereas the LX-2 goes for about 400 or so.
You can easily use a flash with any digital point and shoot. You can purchase a optical slave designed for digital cameras, or you can purchase a flash with a built in optical slave like this one. http://www.steves-digicams.com/1280lens2.html#dsf- 1.
A mirror is cheaper than an additional LCD in the finder. There are some higher end digi cams that have an additional LCD when you look into it kind of like how a camcorder works. Why not just have one LCD and no finder? Well there are several reasons, it's harder to compose in harsh light like direct sunlight and also if you want to take a picture in the dark such as for taking pictures of stars, the light leaking from the LCD will affect your final image, and there is a slight lag, the lag might not make a difference for portraits but when photographing fast sports, even fractions of a second count. The reasons why the DSLRs are the way they are is because of the compromises along the way. Your question is very valid, the current design of DSLRs is not ideal, but like the human body the current popular DSLRs is the result of evolution and not of some sort of intelligent design.
Yes it really does have single lense reflex action. There is a mirror that reflects light to the view finder and when taking a picture the mirror flips up and the light enters the sensor. This action is so you can see exactly what you are composing. You are right, nowadays with LCDs, you get pretty much what you see but the color reproduction on a little LCD is not as great as something you see live and also there is a slight lag. DSLRs are generally when people talking about them are digital cameras that have the single lense reflex and also have interchangeable lenses and are roughly the size of a film 35mm camera. There are other SLRs that are larger like the 39 mega pixel Hasselblad and SLRs that don't have interchangeable lenses like the Olympus E-20N but in discussions of SLRs they are generally omitted.
That's 300mm is made equivalent to 35 mm. Because of the smaller sensor size of the dSLRs you only need a 200 mm lense to get around 300mm equivalent. You can get a 55-200 (which with 1.6 multiplier becomes a 88 - 320) kit lense from Nikon for $150 or so. You can also get a 70-300 (112 - 480) lense from Nikon for around $150. Although I must concede that if you don't want to change lenses and want a smaller camera and need that long range, the 8800 is probably a better choice.
The D80 also gives you the wireless ability to fully control multiple flashes, which would cost another 250 to get a SU800 commander. That feature alone might be enough to get someone to upgrade. Not because its cheaper, but its just one less thing to lug around and worry about batteries.
My really ancient Canon S100, the first of the digital Elphs cost me 500 dollars brand new in 1999 and it stlll works. My Nikon D50 body cost me 400 dollars refurbished in 2006. I kinda wish the Elph would just die so I can justify buying another compact cam.
The Nikon D1 is being sold for three times the price of the D50, but the D50 takes much better quality pictures. If you aren't in a war zone there really is no need to buy a pro built quality camera.
He bought a Lumix, Panasonic and Leica share the same platform but the Leica is about 30% more expensive. Lumix is the name of the Panasonic branded cameras. The Lumix is actually quite cheap compared to other brand's like Sony. It's like buying a Toyota vs. buying a Lexus.
Dust happens when you change lenses on your camera. If you decide to just leave a fixed lense in your camera, then the whole point of getting SLR is sort of defeated.
It's not the first sub $500 dSLR. You can find Pentax or Samsung Digimax with lense for around 500. The Pentax or Samsung would might be a better buy than the rumored D40 because the D40 only accepts newer AF-S lenses if you want auto focus, so the amount of lenses available to the D40 is not as large as it first seems.
Affirmative defenses by definition shift the burden of proof. In an insanity defense for example, the defendant has to prove by clear and convincing evidence that they are insane. Facts by themselves are not affirmative defenses. Facts by themselves are not even a defense if used to punch holes in the prima facie case. So the parent poster was correct, when using an affirmative defense, the defendant has to prove something. It is unlikely that Google will raise an affirmative defense if faced with a libelous law suit. The only affirmative defense that would apply would be the statute of limitations and it is unlikely since the video was uploaded today that it would apply.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Bar_As sociation, In New York there is no mandatory bar, but the title in the Slashdot summary is confusing because it's not the bar association imposing the rule but the New York's Administrative Board of Courts which is in fact a government entity which all lawyers who wish to practice in New York must abide by.
Courts do not repeal licenses to practice law, that honor is decided by the State Bar Association. Also people making the decision in the state bar are not elected by the public they are elected by bar association members. However the contempt charge can be used as evidence of a lawyer unfit to practice law.
You are confusing revenue with income. Revenue is dollars bring in before expenses. They can have no growth in revenue but have higher income using accounting tricks.
I am a lawyer. Seeing how you spelled civilized, I see you do not live in the USA, a potential employer in the US can and do hand you a contract and sign now or sign out. There are a certain juridictions that are an exception to this rule.
What's in the Euro phones that are missing in the US phones? What's wrong with having a camera or an MP3 player in the phone? People find that useful. Putting personalized crystals on your phone, yeah perhaps that is what you would call lust have consumerism. But an MP3 player is quite useful even for professionals. You can review notes on a client if you desire. If you are a real estate professional you can take a quick pic and send it off to a client.
It cost around 500 dollars give or take. But that is a pretty bad example as both are considered failures. Even though games cost more back then the argument is not complete. These days people can pick up a 20 dollar game on a DS or play internet games for free. So even if games cost less today than it did 10-15 years ago because there is so much competition for gamers a company that charges 80 dollars for a game is less likely to survive now than it did years ago.

don't visit porn sites or use P2P
Then what do you use the internet for?

Sometimes you are not allowed to bring "Pro" looking equipment to venues such as concerts.

Well, using your logic. I would argue that you shouldn't be using a P&S to shoot movies, but a DV cam.

I disagree, EA has John Madden as a mascot, Microsoft had Bill Gates, and Sony had the Walkman.
