I wonder how much a hot section inspection is going to cost?
Since turbojets don't produce horsepower in the same sense that a recip. engine does, how much thrust is equivalent to approx. 1400 HP? I'm thinking that if this engine puts out somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 lbs of thrust (maybe more) then terminal velocity for the Bug should be roughly 300 or more. I'm just guessing.
I bought an N70 several years ago for about $900 with a couple lenses. I recently upgraded to the D70. My reasoning and justification for the SLR was 1) interchangeable lenses, 2) the price-per-megapixel ratio was more in line with what I expected. I figured if I'm going to spend a decent chunk of money, I'm going to get the SLR with all the bells and whistles. This Sony product looks like it's just going to blur the lines between a reputable product (Canon, Nikon, Minolta, et. al.) and one that (in my eyes) is nothing more than an overpriced child's toy. Besides, I didn't know it was a problem that I had to look through the sight to take a picture. Most good SLRs frame a photo very well. Also, most good SLR documentation will detail exactly the size of the framed area vs. the image that appears on the "print".
I'm not a professional photographer. I'm not even an amateur. I just want to be able to take good pictures and be able to compose them however I see fit. A modern D-SLR is no more difficult to use than a 110 point and shoot. If you want to take good pictures and spend a lot of money doing it, the Sony seems to be a dead-end upgrade path.
It didn't take MIT to prove the Death Ray was possible. I think it's unlikely Archimedes constructed such a large device (or had an army of highly coorinated mirror handlers--not to mention modern mirror manufacturing techniques) and was able to focus and guide it with the precision necessary to set a ship to flames.
My former employer, a small community college switched their system to the Cisco VoIP hardware. It was rare when a student could actually get through to me, so I gave all my students my cell number instead.
The VoIP phone worked intermittently at best. The worst thing about it was that when (not if) there was a network problem the phones were completely useless.
I'm not even convinced it's good enough for my home yet.

Reality television is a hoax on the viewer.

I think that was NES Life Force. Or maybe both, I didn't like Contra.
