If the damn bulb (and thus, the technology behind it) was so damn good, I'd buy it. Given the outrageous price, lack of dimming (entire house is Lutron equipped with Maestro and Grafik dimmers), and off-colors across manufacturers,etc., I'll gladly keep using my secret stash of 100w, 120w, BR30s and 40s. I'm good for at least 10 years.
Massive oversimplification of the work done by Rejewski, Zygalski, and Rozycki as well as the reason the work was shifted to Bletchley. A little something called 'the invasion of Poland,' perhaps?
Also, the material provided by German Hans-Thilo Schmidt was critical to the initial break.

All of us old farts did your mom in the basement computer lab behind the VAX 11/750 on top of the HP1000. Or was it the Honeywell Bull? Whatever, she was a freak.

Too true. Jobs/Apple became exactly what they supposedly fought against. 1984 commercial? Yeah, look at what their locked ipod/iphone/ipad has become. Whining about Android? nothing here to see....
I want both of them. Not expecting either. Would prefer the government quit burning through cash and let the market decide. The "logic" of the remainder of your post is not Mensa material....

So, in other words, the premise of the '09 award is a sham? The committee has lowered itself to making trivial political statements?
Nevermind, they already trashed their credibility with Arafat and Gore. Give him an Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Grammy, or Razzi for all I care. Do it to spread your political view and you're an imbecile.
My take is forcing people to pay for channels they don't nor ever will watch is the same as mandating everyone pay for a meal at the new restaurant in town even if you don't eat it.
Face it: 80% of the networks will fail if ala carte is adopted. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. Let the crap networks sink or swim. Once they die, take that bandwidth and GET ME MORE HD CHANNELS, dammit!

uh, what do you think caused the earthquake? That's right! GLOBAL WARMING! Of course, you would know this if you had seen the movie, "An Inconvenient Sicko" starring Al Bore...
Being forced to support cable channels my family will never watch is the same as being forced to eat one meal a day at that restaurant down the street that no one likes.
It has nothing to do with file sharing, nor a cannibalization of CD sales due to online MP3s.
today's music sucks.
The recording industry has lost their control of our consumption. No longer are we beholden to a few radio stations and their payola schemes. No longer do we have to buy the album with 12 crap songs to get the one good tune. No longer are we stuck with the manufactured crap that the music industry pushes.
today's music sucks.
And, if I wasn't clear enough, today's music sucks. Rap/hiphop or whatever that pukem is called hasn't died yet?
Absolutely agree with your comment and promotion of Canon. I had a 20d and now 30d and continue to be amazed with what the camera allows me to do (and, I must admit, PS CS2 as well).
If you want to take photos that pop and make you proud, step up to DSLR and invest the time.
