New LED Backlights For LCD Screens

stuffman64 writes: "LumiLeds has a new LED backlighting technology based on their Luxeon Star LEDs. It is meant to replace the power-hogging CCFL lights currently in use. Benefits include longer battery life for notebooks, less weight, and a larger color gamut (up to 130% of the NTSC standard). The release can be found here." I wish I could hook up one of their evaluation kits to my machine right now;) The same site has quite a lot of LED-related information throughout.

    Let me first begin to state, that Trolls do not exist.
    Yes correct, and I mean not even on Slashdot.org.

    Someone people say Slashdot.org is facing a crisis, with
    all the trolling going on. It's even for some a fun game
    to play. Both planting trolls, and also the anti-trolls
    like the game. With replies showing up stating: 'Troll'.
    It's like spotting Easter Eggs and saying "Great, I found another one.".

    Even as most people don't seem to like good trolls, a lot of people
    don't mind spotting/pointing out a troll, because I see a lot
    of those replies. Second to that: good trolls, make a lot of replies.

    If you don't like trolls, why bother to reply then ?
    You know you're right and he or she isn't.

    I think it's because;

    Most people like discussing, if you don't like it than don't read
    comments on Slashdot.

    Responding to trolls, is basically the same
    as responding to normal postings.

    You either agree, or disagree with the content of a "normal" posting,
    or a "troll" posting. With both postings you state why you agree/disagree
    with his/her point.

    Somehow we feel we need to reply to trolls. Or else most trolls would not
    get any replies. Somehow we have this urge. Where does this come from ?

    Because *you* cannot accept that someone else might have a completely different
    point of view. And *you* have the urge to shove your opinion upon some troll,
    so you get the false feeling that you did a good thing, and to justify your own
    view.

    If someone says: 'Linux sucks, FreeBSD rocks'.
    This person obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, so don't go
    into discussion with him/her then. You don't try to discuss math with a 1
    year old, do you ? So why reply to such bull.

    Trolls don't exist, you create them yourself.

  3. Yawn, LCD section? by SilentChris · · Score: 1, Troll
    Dear Editors,

    Can we have a new section specifically for LCD topics, instead of Science, so I can remove these boring little stories from my Slashdot homepage? Please?
