Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs

Posted by timothy on from the hey-mine-frequently-is-too dept.

  1. LCD TV above the stove? by phatsharpie · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can't imagine placing a LCD TV above the stove is a good idea. Not only would heat from the stove damage it, but what about oil splatter from cooking?

      Yeah, that's the problem with "demo" homes like this. They always have neat looking, and completely doofy shit in them.

      You're supposed to go "OOooooooo! Ahhhhhhhh!"

      But mostly you end up saying "Well, That's kinda dumb. What kind of clueless moron thought that up?"

      In the end what really sells a new technology is showing how it can mold into your existing conventional home completely unubtrusively.

      What would really be impressive is a picture of a 1920's farm house kitchen with a caption:

      "This home is completely lit by LEDs -- and you can't even tell!

    And it will probably fall on deaf ears like it has every other time I've posted a comment like this.

    This story, the resulting Slashdotting of their site, followed closely by the need to take the site down, is yet another indication that the powers that be at Slashdot need to learn the simple courtesy of *ASKING* the people behind websites like that if they want a story about them on Slashdot. Or at least allow them time to prepare for the devestation their servers are about to undergo.

    When stories about spammers and such ilk are posted, we show our feelings by Slashdotting their site, thereby either costing them tons in bandwidth charges or crashing their server.

    When stories about things we like are posted on Slashdot, we show our approval by doing the same damned thing.

    Quite frankly, I'm surprised that in this day and age of litigation-while-you-wait no one has sued Slashdot for getting their server hammered.

    I'll stop now so that the moderators among you can show your ignorance by moderating this post as "off topic" or "flame bait".
