Recently here in, New South Wales, Australia, every 6 months or so, at the local shopping center, there is a thing where they give about 10 bulbs away to each household, which has been great for getting more of them into houses.
I have also seen 30W ones as well here, although I do not know what the equilivent in incandencent is.
The dimmer issue is the only real problem with them at the moment.
Read your earlier post, now that's the shit, nothing like a game of paint ball, nothing better then felling the hit from the paint ball (it bloody hurts, but at least you know you have been shot, also give some incentive to avoid being shot). There is no comparison; a computer cannot currently reproduce that. It gets the senses going, and the heart pumping way more than any $1000 + video card.
It is the real life experiences that stay with you.
I have been to so many gigs, and seen so much live music, which no amount of CD's or DVD's could ever compare to. The feeling of the bass thumping against your chess, something that you cannot reproduce at home (well not without spending a shit load on speakers).
Never been hang gliding, but one day, I shall, I also want to skydive.
Car racing games do not even compare to the speed and feeling of the real thing.
There is nothing like the feeling of adrenaline, it is the best feeling.
Nothing like the feel of real living flesh of a woman, porn is a joke compared to the real thing, and as you said, part of the fun, is the build of, and playing the game of chasing with a nice chick.
From the sounds of your previous post, you know exactly what I mean.
So many people now days need to get out and see what the big blue room has to offer.
I have never been to Adelaide, but when I do, I shall drop you a line, and you will have to show me what the town has to offer.
Infinite, Finite, and Over-inflation

When will the CEO's of these companies with infinite incomes, realise that the rest of us on finite incomes, only have finite amounts of money to spend on the essentials of life:- - such as over-inflated housing (well here in Sydney anyway) - over-inflated petrol (GAS to those in the US) prices - over-inflated food prices (that are blamed on over-inflated petrol prices) - over-inflated toll road prices (well here in Sydney anyway) - over-inflated Pay TV prices, that have just as many over-inflated ads as Free to Air - still expect us to spend money on their DRM'ed over-inflated crap that they call entertainment - and find extra money to spend on new over-inflated equipment to view the same crap on over-inflated screen, when we all thought that we had bought equipment that would allow us to view what very few movies that are worth purchasing.
I choose to spend my very sparse, very precious extra money left over after the essentials getting out in the world, driving through Australia's beautiful bush in my 4WD, taking photographs on my Digital SLR, and seeing real music played live by local artist (and purchasing my music direct from the artist, at the gig), rather than give that sparse, very precious money to fund some over-inflated wanker, so that he can have another mansion overlooking the harbour within which he can snort another fat line of cocaine, using a rolled up $100 note, that came out of MY pocket.
Well, since we (US Australians, pun intended) have had to take on the DMCA, does this mean that it is now illegal in US and USAustralia to use anything that may be used for copyright infringment.
The list is quiet large, photocopers, scanners, Video Recorders, PVR's, DVD Recorders, DVD\CD Burners, Tape Recorders, MP3 players/recorders, camera's, mobile phones, file sharing software..............

John Howard (Australian Prime Minister) has had crack detected in his system, George Bush's crack.
"* Well done for spotting, as we're sure you did, that this story is not in fact true. News@nature.com would like to assure readers that, outside the realm of April Fool's Day, the Moon remains bacteria-free until anyone proves otherwise. "
If Sony is to proceede with this case, and win, then they are essentially saying that mod chips are illegal, and thus would prevent you from playing games and DVD's purchased overseas.
Therefore, would not an interpertiation of the FTA be that Sony would be required to sell hardware compatible with software/DVD's purchased in both Australia and the USA. This is called FREE TRADE, thus negating the need to a legal use of the chip.
Just when you thought that Howard could not get any deeper inside Bush, he manages to slip in just a little further. I know he has big eyebrows, but I didn't know his tounge was that long.

I am an Aussie, this means nothing to anyone outside the USA, it would be good to see Sony pay US$150 to everyone they infected with their shite.
WTF? The borg queen cannot be killed, and she is not species 3295 (Vulcan), but species 125.

Its so funny how you men have no idea about women, it makes me giggle.
In Soviet Russia, the links are never broken, you are.
I do not see the problem with the spelling, sighted means to see, or in sight of. Therefore sighted as used in the article is correct.
Very dangerous territory.
Hmm, we are quick tonight aren't we Slashdot?
So just for the hell of it, here is the website of Plainfield School District.
Maybee a good slashdotting will bring them back in line.
Oh, hang on, that would mean we would then become the bully.
Look away, nothing to see here.
