Sigh... many years ago, my ancestors lit by by coal oil, and before that, by the flickering light of a wood fire in their caves.
They continuously complained and bitched about these new carbon-tread, and later, "Tungsten filament" lights that nasty old Mr. Edison and others were forcing upon them.
See my comments above.
I dunno where you been the last coupla f---ng years, but I have replaced all the incandescent bulbs (as they burnt out one-by-one) with low energy CFLs.
NO ONE has noticed the difference.
The "light spectrum" is just about the same as the old incandescent bulbs; maybe BETTER.
I have occasionally advised people in their homes -
"Why not replace your bulbs with CFLs"?
"Oh we don't like that harsh blue light that shows your pimples, etc".
They are utterly surprised when I tell them that that dinner we had the other night was lit by, AND
as well the bathroom lights, where they went to "freshen up" are ALL CFLs.
Get with the program. This is the 21st century, not your daddy's 1950s Flourescent tube office.
Only my oven lights (and one or two dimmer switch lights) are still using the NOTORIOUSLY POLLUTING POISONOUS TUNGSTEN filaments that every nostalgic luddite as...le on/. seems to be bemoaning the fate of!
OK with flying cars was if the average population not only had an IQ of 180 to start
Various studies have shown, again and again, that about 50% of Americans have an IQ of under 100!
And, alas, most of the world is aware of this.
What to do? what to do?
Gimme a break!
If you RTFA, you'd see it was a fairly recent Amdahl, that happened to be still running an old IBM 1960s program under emulation in some subspace.
Ha! They probably wrote an x86 emulator to run the old program on a PC's VM, rather than take the time to re-code it.
Card readers. Paper tape readers. What retro-sensationalist crap.
I pretty sure they got rid of this hardware a quarter of a century ago!
But I guess it makes good press on a slow IT day...
SVC 202, anyone?
Is this modern version of the legendary IBM 'green card' written as text or is it in trendy hypertext?
The latter would be preferable, especially if I'm on a PC and coding my HTML and CSS, etc...
Of course, if it's hypertext, I'll hafta take it out of my shirt pocket to run the mouse across it, otherwise I might get unsightly mouse stains on my shirt.
But, all-in-all, sounds like a very useful product!
Actually, most hydrogen comes from reformed methane...
And that Methane REALLY has to want to be reformed.
I.E. it requires LOTS'n'LOTS of energy to do it.
The Methane has to "give up" its carbon component, which is vented out into the atmosphere as CO2.
Gee.. If only we could "sequester" it, like we are not allowed to do with so-called nuclear "waste"...
Fuck.. Why do I feel like I am once again in the old Physics 101 class, with the same bunch of losers..?
I am just puzzled why you sometime's employ an apostrophe, and some sometimes not...
Any particular reason? Perhaps a babybummer could help you.
Ala's, excitable chappie, I am just looking for answer's in life....;-)
A cosmonaut named Vladimir,
Kept a cageful of gerbils on Mir.
With cardboard tubes and some twine,
He used them one at a time-
An experiment he called 'Richard's Gear'
I know Saskatoon is a rather boring town, bu do they have to resort to this kind of crap?
Somehow, I suspect my Canadian tax dollars are paying for much of this pseudo-science.
Why don't they establish a science chair to examine the possibility of extracting sunbeams from cucumbers? I'd be willing to donate some pinoqachole chit for this more worthwhile project!

Only mice screw in incandescent bulbs.
And the bulb has to be broken, for them to get in.
And the mice have to be careful.

In soviet hellhole, IQ average is well above you!
I for one, bow to our new "Soviet punchline" overlord.
Most earlier posters got it backwards...
In Soviet Chess tournament,

But consider the pigeon's unique capacity to recognize objects regardless of spatial orientation.
The common gray pigeon can easily distinguish among items displaying
only the minutest differences, an ability that enables
it to select relevant web sites from among thousands!

I'm not sure how old Abe is, or, for that matter Homer, but FAX machines have been around since ~1900s; perhaps even earlier.
A Fax machine is a lot simpler piece of shit than a phone, or a PC. It's just one step above a teletype or Morse code.

It might be just the Friday nite's wine talking but I really hafta consider this one.
But the powers that be have, as usual, no imagination.
