Flourescents can dim just fine. You will need a special type of dimmer. One company that makes them is Lutron. The only drawback with the dimming is that is changes the temperature or warmth of the light.
fluorescent:
Pro 1)Use minimal amounts of power
2)Compact
3)Produce large amounts of light
Con 1)Light still has an annoying 60hz cycle, (could be deadly around machinery)
2)Warmth or coldness of light can be tricky to pick out.
3)Outdoor use is limited
4)Long warm-up times make them impractical for bathrooms and immediate turn-on areas.
LED
The LED bulb holds the promise to fix all of the inadequecies the current compact flourecents have while retaining their efficiency. I think there is a really big future in this technology.
This college could be an excellent test bed for what may take many years to happen anywhere else. The college could offer a computing lab where there are empty desks setup with high speed internet connections where they could hook up their laptops. The school would not be buying microsoft products but still provide a means by which it could be used. This would be a gret learning experience for the rest of the world. I hope they go through with it. The school has to take into account what an average computer user is like. They would have to use KDE or gnome and format it in a very windows-like manner to ease transition and use for most users.

Just like Lockheed too! Lockheed is in the same type of management downfall as all the other big boys. Little research, mostly production. Should be interesting to see how they make new designs in the future without engineers. Maybe they will have a similar claim to fame like the original stealth fighter made soley by electrical engineers, maybe they will have a new design made soley by management! He he:)
I wonder if this attempt is too early to be attempting this for real. There should be experiments for proof of concept before using the actual DNA from the Mamouth.

This is a civil case, not criminal. No jury. This will be left to the decision of the judge.
