i agree. the chicken production companies convinced us, among many other farms to switch to CFL, to save energy. the bulbs cost nearly 10 bucks a piece. they burned out faster than incandescent bulbs did, until you left them on, thats the only timer they didnt burn out. and because they were not sealed, the dust and bad air ate them up (they used aluminum, not even galvanized). i guess it did save soemthing. the masses we went thru saved us from buying cheap bulbs from walmart, and made some Chinese guy rich. saved someone money...
since that year long fiasco, i have been watching everything, wonder who it saves money. cause its not always the consumer.
as for the energy usage, they should ahve done that test 4-5 years ago when tehy came out. when you could get a lil mini led flashlight, stick 3 AA batteries into it, and it would last longer than the batteries. now, 40 hours. cant find any that last longer, ro even as long, as incandescent lights.
its also shitty light, some strange blue tint. maybe i am too much of a viking, i prefer my light to be caused by fire.
the average person cant tell on a car or bike ect ect, like the first comment. we also cant tell using a sb live crap...i mean card, or a pair of tin can speakers. you need the hard ware. most of us do not have the hard ware. so the article is correct, but makes it look as if the populace is that deaf we cannot tell.
the artical should be more clear about having the hardware. creative cant product lossless sound, cept for the high end stuffs. 200+ dollars. where as turd beach (if you can get it to werk) or bluegears, oxygen, their top end cards for less than 1/2 the price creative charges.
wish authors would give the facts on both sides of the issue, not 1. but thats newspeak for ya
next week they will announce that after they made thier browser totally unusable, their going to start charging $199.95 *usd) for ir. and sue everyone who has used it in the past and hasnt registered.
i guess ill start writing my own broswer, maybe i can make a logical one
yea. i own a farm. when cold cathode came out they said they could be dimmed. they came with a 2 year replacement! great. drop 10 grand in light bulbs. now 1/2 the lights on the farm are incontinent again. you can dim the cold cathode ones. it just kills them.
as little as i know about modern techs, i would think ehy could make something cheap, durable, and efficient. but these huge corps seem to have a prob with that. instead of making a product like a light bulb that last 27 ytears and isnt toxic(wont kill you), they make one that is that last 6 months, that cost a fuckload.
the money is gonna come outta yer pocket one way or another. power company gonna gouge you, or the light bulb makers.
remember when they started making electricity....they said their gonna make it so cheap only the rich will be able to afford to burn candles.
well, they lied
i have found a simple way of not worry about it. i make x dollars. 3/4 of x is used for bills/food/tax. this will never ever ever change. never. as the cost of 1 goes down, the other 2 will rise.
the cost of eletric is rising, so thier touting the cost effectiveness of these lights...with the current tech, tehy could do alot better
money is everything. then you can drive the lil company into the ground, and start a new one, that you can sell, and drive into the ground. if you drive it into the ground fast enuff, u might make it into politics.:)
if it isnt a profit for the big 4, than its a loss. thier the ones with the guns...money. anyone who refuses to pay for their music will be shot...taken to court. sure, we could all go out and support that indi artist, only to find that the indi lable is another one that is owned by the big 4. they change names daily. the only way to not give them your money is to...not give them your money. when everyone stops buying music, and the big 4 start hurtin, then taxes will increase and t hey will get bailed out.
they will take your money, u dont even have to give it to them.:) now we return to our regularly scheduled programing
we dont want to catch him. without him, the war on terror is over. then tehy cant take more of our rights and scare us into buying tuna and duct tape.
anyway, hes dead. cnn among others has reported this.
Sirius, the dog star, will not be visible in the middle of NYC. without seeing that star...umm, im not sure bout that. but its important to the Illuminati.
its a punishment....i think thats perty clear. sorta like the energy crisis in the 70's, when people stopped bitching and jsut went with the flow, it became cheaper...voting is the same, if we dont vote the way they want us to, we will have to pay more for 4-8 years
perty simple....
isnt freedom wonderful!
why is it illegal for me to like pot?
"Others look with nostalgia at the peak of the age of disease, social injustice, broken social contracts, nobles _and_ cities plundering the former common lands of the peasants and forcing them to pay to use their own former pastures, religious wars and persecution, of mass morbid depression, etc."
that sounds like your speaking of today...
but maybe they are focusing their resources. by not letting isps offer it either, they all have to get usenet access, most will use a credit card. the enemy you know is better than the enemy you dont know.
i could be totally wrong. they might not have a feeble attempt at a clue.
19/2kbps is fast enough for everyone, noone should need anything more. who cares if it takes an hour to download 6 megs. i do not want to be faster! i know its cheaper, and more stable, and embarrassingly slow, but i don't want better! i know cause some telemarketer called me and i told em!
i bet that pew company is made up of verizon comcast and sprint.

theres a 'real alternative'. same as a quicktime alternative for windows.
for everything thats annoying/doesnt work, theres a free/unannoying version out there
deficit is something. but if you look at all the years running, theres only been 2 or 3 that do not deficit spend. atleast since 1911, the first year income tax happened. 1910 is when the US congress gave a 99 year charter to the federal reserve, a brand new bank atthe time. my question is why havent i heard anything about this on the news? whos the next charter going to, happens next year.
you also missed the devalueation of the dollarr since 1911. from 1776-1910 there was no inflation. there was a silver standard. then the FED came along. it started loaning out alot more money than it had. todays dollar is worth 1 penny (orless) of 1910's dollar. so how could we as a nation go through 2000 years of no inflation, to this? money almost worthless.
theres more to the debt than jsut spendin more than ya make, gotta look atthe accountants..
'they' didnt want ron paul to run. even if he did run, and got 99% of the votes, they would be told to us that he barely got any. now back to the topic at hand HAHA @ RIAA gettin da smack down, i needa see more of that stuffs
i liked that show when i was, i cant remember, cause i was that little. anyway, that mr rogers, richard simmins and the muppets, i watched em. thier all BAD BAD BAD BAD. but somehow its ok for kids to watch a show called dragonBallz. i jsut thought it was important to mention that the shows we used to watch are not ok cause 1 of em depicts a pipe. but a show named after a mythalogical creatures testicals is ok.
wheres the political correctness? only enforced when it serves a purpose i suppose
i guess bo n duke were gay also, and the a-team was gay too, and so was knight rider, but DragonBallz has nothin to do with sexual orientation.
the shows name always irked me, now i can say how i feel

diebold customers didnt cause this. but tehy enable diebold. they know bout most of the holes. they just dont care.
now, if i did business with someone who, i know lies cheats and steals, i don't think id get too upset when they get stolen from.
we all know they don't know how to count, but we trust their holey atms?
tehy should burn jsut like a buncha the other evil corps out there
