Actually, costs for an 800 pound plane are $3,800 to $4,000 dollars based on the quotes from BRS Aviation here http://www.brsparachutes.com/full_price_list.aspx
I would not call that "much more" than a few thousand dollars. I realize there may be some additional installation costs, but still, we're talking far less than 10 thousand dollars.

Cost for such system ( Ballistic rescue parachutes ) are much more than just a few thousand dollars. When you get the FAA involved costs for a single bolt will skyrocket. In order to manufacture such a system for aircraft you must secure an STC from the FAA (http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/design_approvals/stc/), this alone can cost the investor hundreds of thousands of dollars. Which he would have to pass along to the consumer. Each individual aircraft would need an STC as well if the system was not designed for that exact airframe. Cirrus aircraft all come with the CAPS system. http://cirrusaircraft.com/parachute/
unfortunately thats only the tip of the iceberg. For a normal light aircraft cessna 172 style its more like $20000, plus fitting costs, plus paperwork and certification costs.

Evidence? I sure don't hear any of the artifacts I've come to associate with autotuning.

If by purest you mean autotuned, then yes, it is one of the purest voices out there.
Aurora like clouds filmed 10 mins before Chinese quake
yeah, similar to 'sun dogs', just icey cirrus clouds, atara is right... chillaxe everybody.
I remember talking with an old professor one early evening and as the sun was setting there were two 'sun dogs' on each side, so I pointed them out to him and was surprised to learn that this 65 year old dude had never seen something like that before. Interesting how one person can miss something another thought was so common.
