I want good LEDs, but CFLs have been good enough for many of my purposes so far.
CFLs: - are dim for the first 4-5 minutes, so you have to sit and wait before you can read your book (or walk down the basement steps)
Perfect for bathroom lights, if you rent and can't install dimmer switches! Also, they are quite good for a lamp in your living room when you have friends over to watch a movie, so that you don't cause everyone pain after the movie's over.
- have to drive the burned-out ones to the landfill (thus increasing carbon footprint) (and no I don't CFL or battery recycling where I live)
A lot of the stores that sell them will take them. There are a lot of laws requiring them to do so in various places, so check that out. Do you have a Home Depot / Lowe's / Walmart / anything like that?
And they were built here on this continent (close to market).
Which continent? I'm guessing North America from the amazon.com URL, but you never know on here.
I like how they have such a significant spike of UV production that they feel the need to include a warning telling you to never look directly at the light.
I'm still waiting for theatrical LED lighting to be bright enough to use from the back of an auditorium, without having to buy the super high end Philips stuff.
So I'm a jackass. I'd say that anybody that believes in creationism or ID should be shot (assuming they've been given the opportunity to understand, you know, facts, and just didn't take it).
Careful with that. Someday, you might not measure up to a different standard, and by then the compassionate people will be dead alongside those you intended to get rid of.
I'm really not too thrilled to see someone being modded insightful for suggesting that I should be shot.
That notwithstanding, the rest of your comment is pretty spot on.
I want to see a warship manned with robots like that. Can you imagine how intimidating that would be, to see that in your scope? Send up the periscope, and all these robot heads swivel around to look directly at you.
Good work! I'm happy to hear that someone's helping them set these things up.
Unfortunately, every seller I've asked has refused to deal with anything other than PayPal. So ultimately I couldn't buy the items I wanted, and I don't know if they ever sold their items. Same for all the indie game developers I tried.
It's too bad everybody drank the PayPal kool-aid. These other options are great, if only people would actually use them.
You can scarcely find a non-profit organization that takes donations using anything other than PayPal anymore. Forget about using eBay without it, too.
The bureaucracy aspect of war is nothing new, though. Throughout history we've had kings and dictators and presidents who "went to war", doing exactly what you're saying. The only thing that's new here is the weapon. I'm considering the vehicle in this case a weapon, or perhaps a meta-weapon. It used to be that you weren't involved with the weapon if you were miles away.
People will kill other people without much thought (or will at least feel justified in doing so) if the other people have been dehumanized enough. Some samples from history: Oh, they insulted our god? Oh, they didn't give us money / allegiance? Oh, their leader said something incendiary about us? Oh, their genetics are inferior to ours and pose a threat to our superior race? Those people are no longer as good as we are, and must be eliminated!
You do raise another interesting point: Automation of killing. The door has been open for a while (drones, and satellites before them) for an AI to determine who will live and who will die on a battlefield. Perhaps we'll go the full distance someday and have machines kill other machines while the people who work as programmers and operators of those machines sit in the safety of a fortified stronghold somewhere under a mountain. I'd support that, but I wouldn't want to be one... there will always be assassins!
Well, you know what, you have a point there. Back in the days before explosive projectile weapons, when men had to use daggers and swords and spears and javelins, it was a lot more personal and you didn't really have much of an excuse if you slaughtered an entire village or city. Of course, nobody was left to punish you, but that's beside the point. The farther removed you are from the actual killing, the less of an emotional impact it has. I remember seeing a chart, where the ultimate impact was when you killed someone by stabbing your bare hand into their body. The least impact was someone pushing a button on a computer thousands of miles away. It's easy to see how little impact it will have on someone if it's so abstracted. If an act of killing has so little impact, there is theoretically so little mental resistance to performing the act. There are exceptional people out there who consider the ramifications, but they aren't likely to be the majority.
I would like to believe that these killings which someone deemed so necessary will be carried out with higher precision, with fewer casualties. I really would. Let's hope that they can at least get that benefit. Fewer deaths would be good.
Perhaps it's just because "cloud" is the still-trendy buzzword. Hand-wavy talk of offloading into the "cloud" that solves all performance and scaling issues goes a long way with execs. You can pay someone else to deal with your poor architecture... excuse me, "provision appropriate capacity in the cloud" as they say... and push the real issues into obscurity.
Perhaps it's because app vendors can then use the user's Internet connection as a scapegoat for poor application performance. Yeah. Must be your cable, man. You know how it gets sometimes.
But whatever it is, it's a strange idea and VERY ironic that Adobe is pushing it.
What happens when the local app is done loading, 15 seconds later? Does it freeze up while the user is typing, while it transfers the data, and then hitch like crazy for a few seconds? Sounds like a terrible experience.
How is this much different from showing a screenshot of the program until it's able to be interactive locally?
Also, wouldn't this mistranslation mean that our lifespans would now be limited to 10 years? I am pretty certain that somewhere in the thousands of years of scholarly translation and study, someone would have caught this. That's one reason why we revise texts and there are several editions of some translations of the Scripture - errors are made and caught later by scholars, and revisions are made.
Yeah, because the inventory levels (which ARE displayed online for some stores) are never inaccurate due to mispicks at the warehouse, and they are never going to change because someone else bought the last one on hand during the 45 minute trip from your house to the store.
I had plenty of people from far away either check online and see QTY 1 IN STOCK, or call ahead and say "No, no, don't hold it for me, I'm sure it will still be there when I get there." And then someone else showed up and bought it in another department with a pair of shorts or something. Nothing I can do about that one.
I'm always suspicious of these 'breakthroughs' when they are introduced via mass media. Somebody thought up a possible cause always gets interpreted to mean that there must be a cure on the way and that's a sexy story to sell the papers, so... Where are the links to peer-reviewed scientific journals? This is Slashdot, a link to the NY Times isn't much more than a start.
They will have to go looking for it either way, except this way they have fewer angry customers. It's a good scenario.
Angry customers don't tend to come back, and they spread the word about their anger. That means even fewer customers, which means fewer dollars going to the store, which means lower ratings of the store inside the company, which means they allocate fewer employees. Retail workers should be good with that idea.
As someone who worked in retail for 8 years, I agree with this. Retail employees would MUCH rather you called ahead. They will even call other stores to find it for you, if you ask. Otherwise, you'll show up and get angry with them, and their job sucks enough already. So yes, please do call ahead if you know exactly what you want. Press the 7 or 11 digits on your phone, it's not hard!

Yours are probably the most reasonable thoughts on the technology so far.
