you might save $20 in energy costs under optimal conidtions though. in the real world the difference isn't so great maybe $5 wroth depending on actual usage.
If you are studious about turning off lights not in use you actual save less with CFl's than with incandescents. As you not only burn the bulbs out faster, you actually cut a CFL's life down excessively. which means more expensive replacement costs, etc.
If your lights are on for hours and hours at a time then yes you save a lot.
CFL's are good in some situations but only in those situation will you save, after that regular light bulbs have better features.
Now LED's other than being more expensive combine the best of both worlds. combine with the ease that they can be turned into regular bulbs means retrofitting into existing is easier, which in the end means CFl's will be a passing FAD.
it is the gateway servers of a given city, combined with the internal routers of what ever the local ISP is.
a traceroute to my home on Time warner shows all packets route first through NY city, then Syracuse , NY and then to my home city with at least 2 different gateways inbetween.
The trick is the first gateway is located in my home city and the second isn't. so you really can't narrow it down on ping time times as 1 ms can be several dozen kilometers apart.
That's the point the church's comments on Pedophila would be dishonest at best with how they actually treat those who commit those crimes.
The only reason it has gotten as big as it has is because of standard church policy to assume that ALL men of god are above the law of men.
If the church didn't try to hide it but instead ostracized the priests involved at the time no one would say a thing. It is currently called the striesland effect. Trying to hide the truth unveils more of it.
Reagan did kill the soviets through his spending but the stock market crash of 1987 was the result of that spending.
If you look at what happened form 2001-2008 you will realize one fact, the only thing keeping the country going was new home construction and loans, and once that stopped it all stopped.
We never really recovered with a diversified economy from the dot bomb, but it was hidden behind huge home sales and tax breaks.
My personal income tax has yet to recover from that mess. Every year I have to pay more than the previous year though my salary only rarely goes up.
shh don't tell him that. Don't tell him that every time there is a republican in the white house the economy crashes. one of the few exceptions was the dot bomb of the clinton era.
The problem with republicans is they cut taxes first and then try to cut spending to match but quite get there.
First thing you do is raise taxes to cover your existing problems Second you do is to cut spending to better levels Third is to use the difference between steps 1 and 2 to pay off the debt Fourth is to cut taxes to #2 levels.
4 simple steps that will take roughly 15 years to fully implement. of course we will have 3-4 presidential elections by that point and each one will gut at least part of the process. Just like Bush gutted Clinton's tax setting to make us have a balanced budget by now. How did Bush do that by giving tax breaks before the debt was dealt with, and doubling the national debt in the process.
The trick with the 211 miles the tesla promises is that it is at 35 MPH, Or was it 30? Either way electric cars get a fraction of their range going highway speeds.
I am not sure Tesla really wants to fight this. if their testing comes out and more people realize the absurd limitations the current batch of electric cars have. speed and range combinations, etc.
yes I realize you can go farther with a gas car going 40-50mph than at 70mph. However for most modern vehicles they can go 300-500 miles at 70 MPH, at 40-50 Mph they go much farther. Yet electric cars can barely go 200 miles at 35 MPH.
and no one gives a fuck? I would say the opposite is true given how many colleges have one student a week being hauled off to the hospital for binge drinking.
Right and legal drugs don't have an underground market. You name one drug including Tylenol and cough syrup and you can find a black market for it.
Hell American's are going to Canada to buy their prescription medications because those same drugs made by the same company are being sold in the USA at 10 times the price.
Just because you make it legal doesn't mean the price will go down on it. Drugs are dealt with poorly in this country for the sake of profits.
The F-22 and F-35 are just coming out. the scram jet engines for the next set of planes are still in testing.
Of course the next set of planes aren't being designed they are still be theorized. As all development cycles mature they slow down.
Saying there aren't new planes being designed is like saying there aren't tanks being designed. just because it isn't being shown to you doesn't make it so.
Exactly the highly techincal part of nuclear bombs is enriching uranium to the right levels of the correct isotopes. Once you have enough the rest is Childs play
If tilting your head during a movie screws up the 3D TV to the point it hurts you then it is a bad design.
I am constantly stretching my neck and body muscles during a movie. Theater seats are among the most uncomfortable there are(stadiums are worse). if you have to sit perfectly still in order to watch the movie, then it is using bad technology.
I don't get motion sick on the ocean, or on a boat or plane.
I do however get sick watching 3D movies. Not only do I not see any 3D effect at all, it cheapens my expereince considerably.
I didn't see one effect in tron that I haven't seen a billion times in any FPS game since doom.
Okay maybe the graphics were slightly better but I didn't see any effects and I couldn't drive home for 10 minutes because my stomach was trying to spit acid on my brain.
which is both a blessing and a curse. A curse from the fact that so many disparte angencies have such varing standards and security means the total cost of government IT goes up and up. however because there are so many non interconnecting systems it makes it harder for the government to spy on you.

Chaff only makes sense when your not moving or when your moving AWAY from the weapon.
Chaff is defense against rear attacks. if your on a speed boat heading toward a ship that is shooting at you chaff is worthless.

And that's just it.
Comcasts Video on demand service, and VOIP don't count toward your 250gb monthly cap.
AT&T is the same way with their services.
if it is their product you get as much bandwidth as you want, but if it is a third party your restricted.
read the fine print of those caps some time, it is pretty scary at what is allowed and doesn't count.
You mean like how conservative parents won't talk about sex with their children and then get all pissy when someone does their job for them?
I only agree about Bush Sr. He was a good guy.
Reagan did kill the soviets through his spending but the stock market crash of 1987 was the result of that spending.

you are using a computer so you must have gotten better.
unless you are telling me there are newt who twit tweets.
ah you need to use Sorcerer Linux in order to build satan and his dependencies.
and no one gives a fuck? I would say the opposite is true given how many colleges have one student a week being hauled off to the hospital for binge drinking.
And how many colleges are filled with people under 21 but get drunk every weekend?
How many high schools have kids who smoke?
Where there is a desire there is a way even if it is illegal.
These subs travel to close to the surface for those methods to work.
What's the difference between a surface vessel that goes 20 feet under water, and a sub traveling 20 feet under water?
Sonar can't tell you.

programmers never take the blame when their software fails.
there fore the blame lies with the party who assembled it at best.
So Radar was the butler too. That actually makes sense. Now to get hawkeye and pierce to openthe still.

I did turn off the 3D effect and then turned it back on. like 15% of the population or so I can't see steoroscopy 3D effects EVER.
I can see the world in 3D just fine. but fake3D is about as real as any FPS shooter has been for the last 10 years.
let me know when the movie studios and game studios care about the 45 million people in the USA that can't watch their Fake3D.
If tilting your head during a movie screws up the 3D TV to the point it hurts you then it is a bad design.
I am constantly stretching my neck and body muscles during a movie. Theater seats are among the most uncomfortable there are(stadiums are worse). if you have to sit perfectly still in order to watch the movie, then it is using bad technology.
I have played with a 3DS and SSF4 and I don't know what your talking about. it looked like the same 2D game with 3D effects that every other game has.
stereoscopy sucks for 15% of the population.
I don't get motion sick on the ocean, or on a boat or plane.
I do however get sick watching 3D movies. Not only do I not see any 3D effect at all, it cheapens my expereince considerably.
I didn't see one effect in tron that I haven't seen a billion times in any FPS game since doom.

I will take that bet, they were all made in Taiwan. Oh wait..
