The bulb will last more than 15 years. Your arguments are ludicrous.
I seem to remember them saying 5-10 years on CFL's, odd that up until I dumped them all and went back to incandescent's, I'd replaced a dozen of them at least twice--though under warranty until I'd simply had enough.
Hell, even the new replacement 36" mini bulbs that they're pushing to replace the 48" florescent tubes, rarely last 2 years. The bulbs might last a year, maybe. And I've replaced 8 arrays in the last 4 months(all with a standard 2 year warranty), made by sylvania, and phillips. The 48" jobs that I still have, have ballasts made in the 80's and are still working. Hell I've got one tri-bulb 36" assembly that was used in street lights in the 70's where I live, and the ballast is still good.
Uh...damn it. I remember when booth babes were attractive, I was E3 1997 and '98, but out of all those pictures I really saw 3-4 that would cover "attractive." But let's be realistic, E3 has nothing, and I mean nothing on automakers and the big car shows.
Easy enough to look at the trends right? Just take a look at the current scandals going on from the IRS, to attacks on reporters, to silencing political opposition groups. And it's not that far of a stretch at all.
Microsoft seems to have this strange idea that their name carries as much weight as Apple's in the public eye. People go to the Apple Store because Apple knows their products inside-out and in the eyes of their customers, the products sell themselves.
Well MS wouldn't be wrong, but they seem to be following Apple's example, since Apple is now getting an "apple section" inside walmart stores.
Looking at the price it makes me wonder if they're selling it at a loss or managed to get one hell of a deal on various components. Doing a rough price out via what I can get from Ingram Micro the component cost is still 30-35% even in batches of 1k+
You realize that those CPU's are still on the market even though they're not in production right? Then again, if you notice that it's "lifetime trends" which was rather the point.
Watch out, all those "dangerous chemicals" might get you labeled as a terrorist or something. I kid, back in highschool we did exactly that, and learned how to make our own emulsions as well as developing film in a dark room, even how to make our own dark rooms at home. Wasn't all that long ago either, back in the mid-90's. I took a trip up to my old highschool to see if they still did this, and it's a big o'l nope. Now they send the film off for processing, because those chemicals are too dangerous for kids(teenagers) to use.
It is also significantly slower buck for buck in real life workloads.
Yeah...well no, you might want to look up the price/core cost vs AMD and Intel, then you'll quickly see AMD tromps all over it. And really with the Vishera cores, you're seeing a negligible loss in real world performance. The only place where Intel beats AMD in cost-per-core is with the celery(celeron) line.
Sounds cool, but I wouldn't travel to the maldives, especially with their rise in religious fascism including attacks on tourists who "don't conform to the rise of islamo-fascism.'
You believe that there has been an epoch with an advanced culture with lots of large buildings, and archaeologists completely missed that?
That's not what I'm saying at all, rather that we simply don't know how far civilizations have advanced over the last 10,000+ years. What was gained, lost, destroyed, carried over, rediscovered. Realistically, Troy was thought to be a myth as well. Well right up until this century, not only did we find 1 "lost city of Troy" we've found 5 or 6 of them--all in the same spot, and are pretty sure there's more buried under the original.
Well, it couldn't have been too many, because fossils.
Let's take oh the last 10k years, then burn 50-70% of the advancements every 500 years give or take a bit. Tell me how many times you'd be crawling back up and over the same path again.
How would they know the sticks were at a 90 degree angle?
How did the Romans figure out how to build the aqueducts, and great feats of engineering? Mathematics+trial and error. The belief that only 'advanced people' could build things like that is an unbelievable amount of hubris. Being realistic, we really don't know how many dark ages we've passed through, except those that really stand out.
Wait till the EDL, BNP UKIP coalition gets in and there new STASI like security apparatus gets hold of the graph on connections and starts rounding people up.
Let me guess, this line of thinking is based on what the media is telling you right? You know, much like what the media is telling people about the various tea party groups. While hiding things on groups like occupy, and even the government of the day itself.
Rectal inversion syndrome seems to be pretty common in this thread.
Well then I'm sure you can explain why the price Kw/H has doubled almost tripled in some areas of the country since the wide-spread adoption of wind and solar.
China doesn't, but Hong Kong does. They retained roughly 90% of everything they had when the British owned the island, and there's protests if not small scale riots every time China tries to do something to change well...anything.
All voters are low information. There simply is not the time to be a high or even medium information voter.
Btw.... terms like "low information voter" are just more pat phrases invented by the machine to distract and isolate the citizens. Easier to control the masses by creating buzzwords that blame everyone but oneself.
Really? Odd that I can pay attention to both Canadian and American politics at a level where I know what's going on. High consumption of politics isn't required, at most 35mins a day, on the most highly trafficked political sites will get you up to a "medium" level voter. The real problem of course is getting past the high level of partisanship, which turns off that low-info voter base altogether, because they don't really want to know that they simply want "to know, what's best with minimum thought."
And no, it's not a pat phrase to distract. They're an actual voting base and have been since we could vote(pay attention to the words of consuls in ancient Rome), they're also called "swing voters and non-voters" They're the people who don't really have an interest in politics at all, but are easily swayed by blasts of information for either or both parties. Which fit their viewpoint.
People like to say that, but it helps when the media isn't in the tank with the government. Much like the media today is, and spinning for all it's worth trying to cover up *insert issue* though the last few things like the AP wire tap, and attacks against Fox News by the Obama admin seem to have gotten the press against them. This is followed by the realization of a lot of people that the government was/is/continues to target conservative groups. AKA "Where were the tea party groups in 2010? That's simple, being silenced."
Well not to forget that the low information voters are simply a curse on everyone. But even they've started to realize exactly what Obama is, worse than Bush. And for many people, that's rather surprising, unless of course you were paying attention and did digging on your own. A lot of people have realized that the current administration is actually worse than Nixon. What are we upto now? 8 or 9 scandals? I'm sure there's at least 3 to 4 more out there, especially now that the Obama admin is targeting whistleblowers.

Who needs EBS/EAS when you have the DOJ, ATF, EPA, CIA and NSA already doing it to your enemies.

Still available in Canada as well. Telegrams Canada used to be run by CNCP Tel. AT&T Canada/Unitel Communications. But still offers full telegram and courier services.
Yup, and it won't improve unless we challenge it every now and then.
So how does one change something when women themselves not only buy into the objectification, but actively support it and fall to the stereotypes?
Uh...damn it. I remember when booth babes were attractive, I was E3 1997 and '98, but out of all those pictures I really saw 3-4 that would cover "attractive." But let's be realistic, E3 has nothing, and I mean nothing on automakers and the big car shows.
We need separation of science and state.
You've already got it, it's called...private enterprise.

Makes more sense that way. Fine print, or stuff so tiny it burns your eyes.

If your goal is to ban firearms, you prioritize the efforts which are achievable in small bite-sized portions.
Well NY already pulled that one, and successfully banned their police from using clips with a particular magazine size. Genius...
It is also significantly slower buck for buck in real life workloads.

A fundamental reboot/restart/retooling of every government agency with every person fired. Rep. Trey Gowdy explained it rather well.
