Really? All these countries were better off (some far better off) in the Soviet times, when some actual infrastructure was built, civil unrests were unheard of and there was actually some medical service.
Of the three countries you have mentioned, only Uzbekistan resembles a civilised country.
I actually have. Neither Sigma nor Tamron currently make micro four thirds lenses, although Sigma has announced five. But I know Sigma, it can take years from their announce to when they actually deliver, which is sad, because I like Sigma a lot, especially their DSLR line.
Right now there is available a very... let's say exclusive selection of lenses from Olympus, even fewer from Panasonic Okay, there are also two or so Leicas, a VoigtlÃnder manual focus lens that is crazy fast (f/0.95), and a quaint mirror telephoto.
Still, it is a cute system, and I wish Sigma would make a micro four thirds version of their DP camera.
People in general use DSLRs to mean "good camera, not point and shoot".
If they did that, they would not say "a DSLR is huge and clunky", because DSLRs, in fact, are both, while a "good camera, not point and shoot" isn't.
With good m4/3rds cameras being way better than entry level DSLRs
How so? The sensors are very much comparable, the lenses as well. Except there are far more lenses available for any DSLR, be it by the original manufacturer, Sigma, Tamron, or, if you are adventurous, good old M42 with an adapter. The only downside is the size and the weight of course.
Used to, and I still love my SD14. Unfortunately, after I've damaged a spinal disc, I cannot carry nothing heavy anymore (it sucks, I used to have 20 kilos in the backpack when hiking) so I had to buy a bloody pocket camera.
I doubt it. I still use my HD2, and it is not enjoyable anymore because it is so slow. The only reason I still use it is that right now there are other bills to pay that are more important than a new phone.
My statements were spot-on. I have lived in the USSR. You have not. I do not dishonour anything or anyone. Now suck it up, princess and go get some reading comprehension when you are at it.
I personally don't mind horse meat, it is tasty. But horse meat is expensive, so if beef was adultered with horse meat, it must have been rotten stuff in first place.
Well, by that logic the bomb was as irrelevant to the surrender of Japan - it did not happen right after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuked. The Kwantung army was rapidly beaten into submission and its defeat was one of the most significant factors for Japan's surrender.
If the USSR had won the cold war, you would not be living under a communist dictatorship, but rather in condition similar to Russia in the nineties - basically a libertarian utopia.
And BTW, every existing space company, even those that are national, have much worse records from when they first start up. SpaceX has a wonderful track record considering that they launched their first flight just under 7 years ago.
With the difference, that these national space companies you are talking about had their first flights not just under 7 years ago, but more like just under 60 years ago. With far less advanced materials and chemistry, far more primitive automation and without knowledge of how the things actually are up there.

There are many ideas that are so great they have to be made mandatory at gun point. "Do not murder", for one.
Such is human nature.
Think again. People use loyalty cards because they can shave a few cents from their purchases this way. They don't care about privacy.
The nice thing about firefox extensions is that they are basically opensource.

And it is also not a DSLR. What was your point agan?

Well, fortunately there are other free image hosting services. And if all else fails, renting webspace is cheap.

Eh, what can I say, most of these points are valid for any project. Look how difficult is to build a bloody airport in Berlin.
Yes they were. I have closed my g+ account last week, and suddenly picasa became much more pleasant to use.
but calling someone a leftie apparently isn't.
So did I. Now boo bloody hoo.
Well, it is actually strange. Japan ought to be the perfect place for geothermal, tidal and wind power.

You could have instagodwinned it by mentioning that Wehrmacht means defence force.
How do you explain this then?
Your grandfather did not tell you about the Soviets defeating the Kwantung army then?
Excuse me? Hello!? How they bloody dare to complain about getting emails from their employers?
Refuse to pay for their own defence? Now that was funny. Next thing you'll tell me is that I'd speak German or Russian now if not you Americans.
