It states : 12 candelas, 120 degrees. From an online converter I found, it amounts to 37 lumens.
I found this page : http://members.aol.com/ajaynejr/lumen.htm which states that a typical 60 W light bulb emits between 600 and 900 lumens. So 20 of these LEDs would do it, and would cost 16 euros at this retailer (known to practice quite high prices)
A friend of mine was really interested into this stuff a few months ago. He told me that this technology is improving really quickly these years and that prices are falling at an incredible rate. Maybe the 100 dollars was a 2005 figure or something ? But to me, the DoE is funding something that will happen in the next two years by the sheer pressure of the market and will claim to be responsible for this evolution when it will reach the arbitrary point they chose. Wasted money if you ask me...
But I researched LED lights a couple months ago, and found that a "60 watt replacement" LED light was expected to cost well over a hundred dollars, and at that time was still in development, and not yet available. Errr, I see spot bulbs composed of a dozen of lights, claiming to output as much light as a 60W incandescent bulb, for 3 euros at my local store... Is there some factor I am missing ?
You mean, write the check, put it in a letter and put a stamp on it ? Of course one million people will not donate one dollar to this project, but they will more easily give 2$ in electricity money.
Clumsy movements at best. The monkey grabs the marshmallow by moving its head instead of really using its prosthesis. It looks like it has only one degree of freedom. Still, a good achievement but nowhere near what is needed for a tree cyborg body:-)
Well, Windows 95 surely changed my world of personal computing. Windows 3.11 was a simple bloated GUI-thingie that my mother loaded when she needed to do some office work while I could still use DOS to launch my games and Turbo Pascal (those were the days). Then came Windows 95. It thrived for total control of my machine. It wasn't particularly good at it yet, but the intent was there, it a nuisance you couldn't choose to ignore anymore. It had become an enemy. It gradually took the high ground until I discovered UNIX at the university.
We'll still be on top for a while, but only because our initial lead was so great and we still have so much more money. I don't think they'll turn us into Afghanistan anytime soon, but they're going to keep trying.
Looking from Europe, your laws on public appearance of boobs already has something ridiculous, and DOES prevent the spread of some cultural items. Your practice of death penalty also looks like an anachronism.
But with Sarkozy as a president, I am taunting you while I can, I fear that in 4 years we will be on the declining slope while hopefully, USA will be rising again as a cultural and ethical power.
The French ADSL operator Free has been doing this for years. The set-top box is called a Freebox, VLC is used to receive several channels and I heard that the latest version can use it as a VCR. Of course they made their own GUI and didn't release the sources (as I am aware of)
Shame they did not land near the other probes, then they could have filmed each other. Yes, I know that is scientifically pointless, but you have to admit it would have been cool. We have pictures of the descent however. And beautiful pictures:
The wikipedia also has a link to an image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that lcoates the Phoenix spacecraft. It is 10 pixels wide but you still recognize the solar arrays.
Buying cheap stuff does not infringe on your privacy. I am not sure to see the link here. China agreed to some standards when it accepted to organize the Olympics, it is not holding to them. It should be a contractual dispute. It has nothing to do with the trade of goods.
Like other posters said, the candidates don't really have to know about tech, neither they need to know about agriculture or naval construction but they have to listen from knowledgeable people. And McCain chose a guy from Warner Bros as his tech consultant, Obama, a guy from MIT.
This alone should make McCain sound like a very bad choice.
You need a specifically designed case. Making it stylish isn't really more complicated or costly than to make a boring one. A power status LED is something I would consider unavoidable, and it costs less than a dollar.
1 -- Do you acknowledge the legitimacy of intellectual property to begin with? That is, do you believe that intellectual property is a valid construct equivalent to physical property, or do you think it's illusory?
No. I believe that as soon as an "intellectual content" has been made public, it should be assumed that it will be copied, modified, used and abused. When released in privacy, privacy laws apply. If you want to commercially exploit a content, make sure you made the commercial deals before you release publicly your content. Yes, it means that a commercial success would depend more on expectations than on actual popularity. That would be a different, workable system.
You mean that the job of a politician involves problem solving and that it can be hard ? Maaan, we should better start to favor competence over ideology in politics then...
And yes, before anyone posts it, keep the test area damn well sealed too so supergerms don't get out (duh!). Because as everyone knows, a supergerm is recognizable easily from the biohazard logo printed on the side of the cell wall.
Make an agreement with EU. That means that now each country has to put it in its local laws, after interpretations that make it compatible with their own constitution. If such an agreement is signed, count several years before Sweden redacts it as a national law, and expect them to have a heavy debate around this. There are no federal courts in EU. If a regulation (that's not a law) exist in EU, it doesn't impact citizen of the countries that didn't implement it as a local law.
So good luck killing the pirate bay with an EU agreement. I surely hope Brussels will get cash from this deal.

I got this catalog from a serious French retailer : http://www.selectronic.fr/upload/produit/pagecatalogue/4-07.pdf

Don't see it as free, see it as a really easy way to give some money that you know will go into CPU cycles quickly and efficiently.

And to donate your company's money as well

It is, as of now, completely certain that the North pole ice shelf is melting. We are in springtime after all...

If I sold a t-shirt for every stupid patent being claimed...
Now wait a minute ! I have a business model to patent !

This implies that you knew the calls were tracked
