I agree completely. I've studied military craft extensively as a hobby (wanted to be a pilot when I was young, but don't have 20/20 vision) and I can say that of all the fighters I've seen, the F/A-22 is the most impressive. A lot of thought and work went into this craft, and it's truly worthy as a 5th generation fighter. People compare it to the Eurofighter Typhoon a lot, and while that's a nice fighter in its own right, it just doesn't come close to the Raptor.

Also shown in the video is the A-10 Thunderbolt II, which is also a beautiful design in my eyes, except for completely different reasons. It's a monster of a plane, and it can take a ton of damage without going down, while dealing a ton of damage to ground targets. And despite that, it's relatively inexpensive.

There is actually an interesting method for cooking an egg that you might be interested in.

According to The McGee, the protein in eggs coagulate (read the eggs cook) at between 145 to 160 degrees fahrenheit. Generally we simmer eggs in water that is closer to 200 degrees fahrenheit- why?

Accurate digital thermometers are quite inexpensive today, so why not carefully control the temperature of the water? What if we were to immerse an egg, in its shell, in water that was at 150 degrees fahrenheit for say, 20 minutes?

The egg won't "over cook" because the proteins are only just warm enough to unfold, right? I have read that cooks have been experimenting with cooking eggs in temperature controlled water, but I haven't tried it myself.

I suspect that obscenesimian's "perfect poached egg" might be achievable through a method similar to this, although the specifics of it may have to be experimented with.

i could swear this was on here before. maybe the link died.

anyways, yes. this is the entire commercial, and it was one of the cheapest to make, and the short spot was also inexpensive. it was also one of the most successful marketing tactics at the time i think, due to the fact that it stated the name, and how to use the product four times. it's supposed to be for a headache, but i've never tried the stuff, so i don't know if it works.

40 channel sound! I love it! For some reason, I can't seem to get people excited about 5 channel music, even though it's fairly inexpensive and readily available.

Well, various people have done variations on this: Robert Fripp's "Frippertronics" made from a pair of open-reel tape decks with a single loop of tape running between, Todd Rundgren's tour for the album "A Wizard, A True Star", going back to the father of multi-track Les Paul's "Les Paulverizer".

KT is not even the first woman to do this...Ursula Dudziak was doing solo vocal performances with electronics many years ago.

The important point is that KT wrote a really good album and discovered - or re-discovered - a very inexpensive way to tour and get a lot of attention. During one period last year we saw three female singer-songwriters touring in this manner KT, Feist and Imogene Heap in one two month period.
