Edison Would Have Loved New Light Bulb Law, Says His Great-Grandson

Posted by timothy on from the free-to-disagree dept.

New submitter futuristic writes with a link to Thomas Edison's great-grandson's take on Thomas Edison and the alleged demise of the incandescent light bulb. From the article: "My great grandfather's 100-watt incandescent will be replaced with new energy-efficient versions, including CFLs, LEDs, and — yes — new and improved incandescent bulbs. ... And my great-grandfather wouldn't have it any other way."

    Doesn't Warren Buffet want to change the tax laws so he makes less money?

    Warren Buffet is an oddity (though a good one). A rich person that isn't a douchebag.

    It's easy for him to say that if it isn't going to change.

    Uhhh...how EXACTLY is that flamebait? doesn't anyone know their history anymore?

    This is /. ... When any amount of common sense indisputable fact is posted, it's usually marked troll or flamebait by The Armchair Committee of /., most of whom have spent years earning their PhDs at Assmad University. I think in retaliation, we should mark the retards' posts as "funny". At least that way, they'll have undivided attention, no matter how short lived or tongue-in-cheek it may be.
