Soldering Station - which one?
Looking to buy one of these: Hakko 936-12 ESD or Weller WES51 Any comments on pros/cons for each model? Has anyone got experience with both? Thanks Pete

AKG K701 Power Rating
If your amp is some how malfunctioning (loose wiring) thus requiring you to turn the pot all the way up, I would be careful, because if it somehow works properly again, you could blow out your headphones with the volume pot turned up so high.

AKG K701 Power Rating
Should not be. Maybe the gain on your amp is very low, or your source has low output, thus not providing much to the headphones.

First HD DVD then Blu-Ray and now a THIRD option...... Total HD??
HD over cable looks pretty good, if that is an option for you... that's what I have. Blu-ray might be interesting but the $1000+ price tag is not. That's why I went with the <$450 Toshiba.

HDTV Recommendations
Nate, Your logic is good. I just got an HD-DVD player and now have seen the holy grail.... By the way HD-DVD does 1080p also, if you get the new higher-end Toshiba unit HD-XA2. But all source material on HD or Blu-ray is 1080/24 or 1080/30 anyway, so it doesn't matter if you have 1080/i or p, as long as your set properly deinterlaces. Even my 720p set looks noticably better with hi-def, so I imagine a 1080 set really shines. I hear the SXRDs are not optimal with SD sources, so that is another consideration. Pete

F-35A First Flight
It's an F-16, F-18 replacement for the USAF and USN; so it will be more focused on air-to-ground, the F-22 is an air dominance fighter more focused on air-air type work; the F-35 and F-22 are complimentary like the F-15 and F-16 have been for the last 30 years. The RAF (UK) is also buying some of the Short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variants as is the USMC. The F-22 has just been permitted to do air shows, and it has been flying since 1998 (in its test program) the F-35 probably won't appear in an airshow 'flying' for many years.

F-35A First Flight
I was in charge of flight test for all subsystems: electrical, fuel, hydraulic, aux power, envirornental control, and langing gear. Mostly in the design reviews and flight test planning stages.
