Even more of an interesting fact is that sea ice is only part of the antarctic ice sheet and is often ignored when talking of the later.
Seriously, he limited his comment to the ice in the sea and as we know, ice is equal to the amount of water it displaces so there will be no rise in sea level when "sea ice"melts.
Its common to find houses that branch outlets off of lighting cicuits. Being safe isn't the issue as much as separating them so your plug for the computer or tv or toaster is still 120v.
Lol.. do you even stop to think? You just validated my point while attemping to deny it. Building a bridge rectifyer and a couple resistors is in fact a conplicated circuit compared to simply placing wire between wire at line voltage.
It's cheap automated work that has no patent encumbrances using established practices that he been tried and tested for decades upon decades. Of course I trivialized it. That is because it is trivial in comparison.
Making an incandescent bulb is about as trivial as a professional base ball player playing catch with his 6 year old son. Making LED bulbs that run at line voltages on the other hand is more like that same baseball player trying to help his 16 year old son with trig homework.
The circuitry is built into the bulbs themselves. This is a key different between an incandescence bulb and a LED. I was trying to compare the construction of the bulbs at the factories and show the complexities are different in manufacturing not the installations for use.
In the meantime, be quiet. You're simply speaking without having any real clue.
Indeed, pot meet kettle. Read the article you posted, It doesn't say what you think it says.
I don't think he said it wasn't important, he said how is this news for nerds. Or in other words, why is it on slashdot's front page. Where is the nerd/geek connection.
That's the thing though, I doubt they can. Incandescent bulbs are relatively simply. A wire that runs between other wires, a gas encapsulated in glass to avoid the wire from catching fire, and a metal base to make contact with the electrical leads. There is little involved and its all cheap to come by.
LEDs on the other hand have to convert the energy which requires circuitry hidden in them, disperse the heat involved with that, and then fire a LED shrouded in a reflector in such a way that you don't over power it and start fighting droop. It is immensely more complicated and requires a lot more to get operating then regular bulbs.
Great.. And how long will it take saving approximately $7.00 per bulb over the life of them to cover the costs of rewiring your house?
It's all good and everything that you can rewire your home or perhaps throw it away and build another, but many people are stuck with what was standard for well over 50 years. You don't really save any money in energy over the life of the bulbs in the first place and if you start rewiring houses in order to increase the life spans of the new bulbs, any imaginary savings probably went away there too.
They will only go down so much though. It isn't like they can negate material costs, wages, taxes, transportation costs, or profits. So I don't expect them to go down a whole lot.
A heat bulb or heat lamp for chickens doesn't work well. It puts too much heat out and you have to move it back away from them effectively heating a larger area.
The heat bulbs you are talking about are good for thawing frozen pipes gently or stopping unheated areas from freezing. In the old farm house I grew up in, it wasn't insulated so we closed off the upstairs in the winter and used those heat bulbs above the washer connections to stop them from freezing. The rest of the house was nice and toasting being heated with wood and coal. But the difference in costs to heat the closed down portions was way more then the costs of running a 500 or 1000 watt bulb 24/7 in the winter. Heat tape was a fire hazard back then too. The thought of it was worse then smoking in the barn.
It's been my experience that you spend more getting the things then you save in energy costs over the life time and this is exaggerated when you buy the so called good ones. All of them are crap when it is cold or humid though. And I find I need to turn them on and let them warm up before being as bright as I need them to be after about a month of usage.
The LED path is even more outrageous and you end up wasting even more cash buying them then you would ever save with them.
I used to be able to buy two incandescent bulbs for less then $2.00 (about $1.25 actually unless I wanted a particularly high wattage (I use 200 and 300 watt bulbs in some areas) and instantly have good lighting any time the switch is turned on. Of course so sodium vapor or halogen light might make a good replacement for the 300 watt bulbs but they seem to be somewhat directional in their socket design.
I hope you arent serious. The time frame you are talking about was only possible because Europe had been decimated in a very intense and destructive world war.
They incorporate to save liability so they exist in a particular place insofar as a corporate structure is concerned.
Them living on in the face of change is only a product of that corporation. Not that i support the 3 card monte they are playing for tax considerations. But all they really have to do to get around this is charge all their hardware and administration costs to thei " italy componant" making their tax obligations negligable.
You have to watch that they don't shift their policies just to get elected then ignore them altogether once your use has been taken advantage of. That is what seems to happen right now and I see no reason why it would be different in the future.
Of course I'm more or less on the other end of the spectrum. The people who most closely match my political ideals would be the tea party and I think they are doing something right by actually infiltrating the republicans and becoming a third party from within. The most dangerous part about Tea Party candidates is that they do not normally need a lot of party funding in order to win elections. In fact, they seem to be doing it on a shoe string budget and even closing gaps where democrats are strongly favored to win. The Virginia governors race comes to mind. No only did the democrats have to massively outspend Cuccinelli by 2 to 1, but they had to fund a third party candidate to siphon votes from him in order to win. And as we see with the well hated Tea Party members, they have a habit of saying screw off, we were elected to do X and your Y is not the same.
Ulbricht isn't claiming that the government violated the constitution. He is claiming Bitcoins aren't property and thus can't be seized under federal law.
I don't think you understand what he was saying. It wasn't that taking the bitcoins were claimed to be unconstitutional, it was that if the government can turn a blind eye to the constitution, it can turn a blind eye to any law and do whatever it wants to do with impunity.
Unless you were at Waco, you don't know what happened at Waco.
There is a pretty good record of what happened at Waco Texas. It is safe to say we know what happened at Waco and the parent poster is not wrong- at least entirely, he just didn't add how they justified it by being accidental when mixing two different nerve agents (not) knowing it would create a flammable gas and using pyrotechnic gas canisters that some think ignited the blaze. Of course others think the pilot lights on the stove in the kitchen which is the last place they ripped a hole in the compound to pump gas into could have been the source of ignition.
But it is not that bad, it isn't like those children would have actually been alive when all this went on. Forensic pathologists said they would have likely died from the uncontrollable contortions their bodies would have went through due to the amount of gas they used in the first place. There are some who claim the photos of the dead support that too with dislocated ribs and other signs of severe convulsions due to the gasses.
I've seen old radios and televisions with vacuum tubes at least 35 or 30 years. I remember the television repair man coming into the house to replace a couple when they broke down. It was strange when we got our first solid state TV as they just replaced boards and there was no tubes we could run down to the drug store and get. You used to just look for a glow in the tube when something wasn't working right, if there was no glow, you took it with you and there was a testing machine made by rayovac right in the drugstore that you could test them on and it would cross reference any models to the ones they had in stock.
I don't know how that compares to the tubes in the computers, but they were surprisingly resilient considering the age of the tech behind them.
Are you saying the total heat output of the sun is constantly constant making it comparable to a blinking light bulb in a lamp that doesn't vary at all?
I'm curious because your explanation seems to indicate the lamp continues to function the same with or without the plastic wrap and the idea behind the sun being a driving factor is that the total heat output varies to some degree either by processes within the sun itself or in between the sun and the earth. What would you think if the lamp toggled 3 or 4 times a minute instead of just 2 for some periods of time?
Yes, you are correct. And when someone who hears the skeptics arguments and ask about them, they become skeptics themselves when they are told they are stupid, everything has already been debunked, and you are not interested in evidence as the reasoning behind why those theories or facts are wrong.
Eugenics has played a large role in Africa even down to the last couple decades when tribes were sterilized by chemicals that could be absorbed through the skin in order to purge their bloodlines. You also had reports of women seeking AIDs treatment being forcibly sterilized and secretly sterilized in Africa in order to "stop the spread" of HIV. Having children is an important part of African culture and often having multiple fathers is common.
As for the Catholics comments on condoms, the Pope always made the comment about a monogamous relationship being the best protection against AIDS and HIV. But I do not remember the Catholics offering advice on the subject, only replying to questions posed by reporters. I could be wrong though as their official stance on condoms for a long time was a forbidden forms of birth control. But there is no shortage of condoms in Africa, they are handed out like candy at Halloween almost. Almost any health organization will give them to you, they are free in bathrooms and quite a few other places like work and and government buildings.
Sex is more of a culture thing in Africa then wealth or lack of. They are sort of like the original free love in that a lot of tribal roles weren't that of the typical man and wife lifestyle. The woman was free and often encouraged to have multiple sex partners and the males often where encourages to have sex a lot too. This was probably born out of necessity when so many things could take the life of children easily like diseases and wild animals or even the lack of nutrition that encouraging refilling of the population anyway possible was a necessity for survival.
Now, what you seem to understand may be true in western cultures, but we are talking about a specific set of people who face problems we have long put behind us. And as some of those problems was with the western notions of fixing them coming along side of abusing the natives, thus making a lot of Africans suspicious of western ideals and solutions. You probably cannot compare an African American culturally wise with an African. It would be sort of like comparing an American Indian with someone from India. There might be similarities but they are completely different. In fact, most Africans are so different then US African Americans, they are often set aside and shunned in African American communities when they immigrate to the US. OF course there are exceptions.

Why are you not rioting then? The image that you are just sitting on your asses and doing nothing is not completely unfounded.
lol.. You seriously expect people to rise up in public against the Schutzstaffel or Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti and protest them? I mean seriously, you just found out that the government is spying on the citizens and say it is bad because the government can construe it any way they like to damage someone's reputation, jail them, ruin their good name, or any number of other things it might find politically expedient and you are wondering why no one is jumping to become the first sheep going into the slaughter house?
Actually, it is more like calm, rational, and capable of planning retribution in great detail that doesn't involve harming innocents or subjecting others to great injustices like you just went through. Like I said, if you have some sort of ideology brainwashed into you that involves harming innocents, it won't matter. For the rest, they will think before they act and take steps to avoid putting others through what they went through for the most part.
Well, the working claim was that in order to associate a name with the number, that had to get a warrant and ask the provider who owns the number. Of course this ignores things like a crisscross directory that allows you to look up names from numbers and street addresses but i don't think they expected the public to think that far.
What this research does is shows how they do not need a warrant or special information from the service providers. It shows how availible most this information is and how it is reletively harmless until you posess the information the NSA is collecting while trying to claim it means nothing special.
It isn't that whites are immune to aids, it is about the differences in culture and education about aids in africa. Whites in africa are more prone to follow western concepts about safe sex so H.I.V/A.I.D.S in africa vastly impacts the white population less than the black populstions. Another problem is that Eugenics is not that far removed from africa and a lot of talk about using condums gets dismissed as trying to qeed the blacks, or certain tribes out of the population so unprotected sex with strangers is encouraged in some areas. There was even at one time claims of a cure by having unprotected sex with a virgin which condemned a lot if innocent girls to rape and infection.
I don't think tjis is at all a joking matter but it likely will not get better any time soon. Maybe making fun of the culture and life styles is needef to get people to actually examine the problems. I don't think many who clain the comment wss bad understand any of that.

You syill need to isolate them from the 120 service. A lot of rooms share lighting with wall outlets to.
Now maybe if you converted the entire house to 12 volts, it might be easier. But that bring a whole slew of other issues.
