I'm no lens expert but I'd imagine that the differences in lighting and motion in landscapes and portraiture between takes might obscure the subtle differences between the lenses themselves. The static subjects probably give a more fair comparison.
I don't know which is more surprising: that they can calculate inflation since 1968 with such astonishing precision (median income was $32,844) or that buying a car from a defunct automaker (Pontiac) is an act of patriotism.
Mr. Speaker, where does Representative Jackson think that the Chinese spend the dollars that they make from producing iPads? And which American jobs does he propose to eliminate in order to secure those manufacturing jobs here in the US?
Also, for those of us who think in terms of horsepower, 1200 watts is about 1.6 hp. A blender might be a more useful kitchen appliance comparison than a toaster to grasp the amount of mechanical power that this car produces.
An infinite wing would not have induced drag but it would have infinite parasitic drag. There are two kinds of drag at play. As one is reduced the other becomes more dominant.
I wonder if the 90° orientation really does make people feel more secure as the narrator claimed. Did they conduct some kind of research or just declare it to be so?
Personally, I'd think it would make me more aware that I'm being watched by a line of impatient people waiting to use the ATM.
If Donahoe was speaking, rather than writing, how do we know that he didn't make a slip of the tongue and use the possessive form "its" when he really meant to say: "it's." Maybe the quote is accurate.
Wouldn't it be better if people debated these topics rationally rather than, you know, worrying about what meaningless rhetoric other might people hear?
Last night I heard an interview with Craig Venter where the interviewer used the term "playing god", or something similar several times to to characterize the arguments she assumed that some others might be making against this research. Venter actually corrected her at one point when she misquoted one of the commenters -- in this case a representative of the Vatican. It sounded to me as though the "playing god" expression was being used more by the proponents of this kind of research rather than the ones raising objections or concerns themselves. I think that the expression was being attributed to people who weren't raising that specious issue in the first place.
Still, I don't know why the expression,"playing god", whatever it might mean,is "dangerous" unless you're concerned that the uneducated masses might be stirred to some undesirable action as a result of hearing it.
I don't take them and would only do so if I had some reason to think I was deficient in them and then only the the particular vitamins in which I was deficient.
