Why should I settle for a substrandard lighting spectrum? The narrowband phosphors on a fluorescent bulb result in a light that is still white, but non-neutral colors do not look correctly as the product of the light spectrum with the reflectance of the colored objects will not be the same as a different light source which happens to also have the same white balance. Compare the spectra of a good incandescent bulb with a filtering reflector to that of a typical CFL: http://solux.net/images/ultral1.gif
Indeed. Compare the spectrum of a good incandescent bulb with filtering reflector to that of a typical CFL light: http://solux.net/images/ultral1.gif It just looks soooo much better that I turn off the overhead fluorescent tubes at work and use my desklamp with one of these incandecents.

How is it that I get a bunch of + moderations just a few days ago in my posts, yet with just a couple of - my karma drops so much?

Interesting post, but...
I got the zero's right
Well, you didn't get your grammar right. It's "zeros" or "zeroes", not "zero's".
I also realized that if some bees flap the wings at X Hz and some at X.01 Hz, the beat frequency would end up being the ten millihertz. Probably easier to breed bees like than than gigantic ones.
Harmonics are always at a higher frequency than the fundamentals. Of course, if some bees flap the wings at X Hz and some at X.01 Hz, the beat frequency would end up being the ten millihertz. That, or the giant bees idea.:)

Don't be a retard. A nanotube has too little conductance, and is useless for this. Spider silk thickness is probably still way too thin and will have large resistance.
This would have been funny, except the ten MILLIhertz frequency (one beat per hundred seconds) is a couple of orders of magnitude lower than what whales can hear.
This would have been funny except you seem to lack reading comprehension. The article said ten MILLIhertz! That's a single beat every hundred seconds. Bees' buzzing is about three orders of magnitude higher in frequency.
Mod parents down for promoting disinformation. Cats don't purr when they're happy. Often cats will purr even when they are even severely injured. Purring actually is an indication they are feeling sociable and welcome attention. There is also some suggestion that cats use it as a healing mechanism, similar to vibration physiotherapy which actually uses similar frequencies.
Dude..........
Look at the end of the article: "[Footnote #1] We develop our argument further in "The End of MAD? The Nuclear Dimension of U.S. Primacy," International Security 30, no. 4 (Spring 2006)."
How is it nice? I really wish there was a way to not only filter out posts below a certain score, but remove all "Funny" moderated ones, given what passes for humor here.
The implication of the Flash video that a US launch would suffer a serious retaliation is contradictory to the mainstream academic thought on the situation. In peer reviewed research containing extensive simulation, the US will eradicate all enemy launch sites in a quick first strike and receive minimal damage. See "The End of MAD? The Nuclear Dimension of U.S. Primacy," International Security 30, no. 4 (Spring 2006).
Such an ignorant post you have made. By the same token, when I ask you if the Earth is round and you answer yes, you are resorting to authority as well, unless you have gone up in space and seen it to be the case with your own eyes.
So why not apply Ockham's razor? Things usually tend to make more sense when you do that. A great example is its application to QM interpretation by Mohrhoff: http://aps.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9903051

Yes, it is. See, the joke is made by that ludicrous proposition. Any unintentional errors detract from it.
For crying out loud, I even put an emoticon in the post... of course I was joking. He's in Europe, I'm in North America. 50 Hz vs 60 Hz mains.
No. Wrong size for the frequency, and the resistance is too high.

That's strange, I only get a 60 Hz hum... I wonder what could possibly cause the difference... :P

Didn't you read my post? I cited peer-reviewed research:4 /keir-a-lieber-daryl-g-press/the-rise-of-u-s-nucle ar-primacy.html
"The End of MAD? The Nuclear Dimension of U.S. Primacy," International Security 30, no. 4 (Spring 2006).
There's a summary of the paper here: http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20060301faessay8520

And apparently the top of a ship's mast appearing first from a distance doesn't mean anything either...
By itself that is not proof that the Earth is round, since it could be an optical illusion or [insert whatever here]. Likewise for Eratosthenes.
Hokay...

Thinking about it a little more, likely not.
Why did you correct yourself and leave your mistaken assumption in the first sentence without erasing it before posting?
