funny the websites for walmart and home depot trumpet the $1 bulb but going to the store they instead have crap ecosmart $2.20 ones. CFL designed to dim don't dim worth a darn, I've tried that. LED with the right dimmer is ok, but that costs money to replace tunsten dimmer.
no, most LED bulbs are not designed for dimmer, and the proper dimmer depends on the type of LED bulb. LED bulbs and dimmers both can be degraded or destroyed with wrong combination. it's a complicated subject:
I have a couple of 20 year old CFL, with dingy green color (that they had from day one) that I have in little-used closets. they are hideous. over the years I get in a mood and buy "latest tech" light bulb, but only very recent CFL and the new Cree 60W equivalent LED partially impress me. have to try the 100W equivalent LED now. CFL I think was a mistake, turned a lot of people off of the idea of more efficient light bulbs.
nonsense, only 14% of domestic power is used for lighting, and for five-six months of the year in most places in the USA that heat energy is not wasted.
is this in the world between your ears? over half of CFLs wind up in landfills, so the mercury is going to your groundwater. if they break, they put the mercury right there in your home, not as some extremely low concentration that power plants do providing incandescant power (and lighting only 14% of domestic electric use anyway) they do very poorly without proper ventilation and the spectrum is less than ideal. the initial ones were of very poor quality and so soured people with the lies of long lifetime.
Some new LED bulbs are looking good, but CFL was a bad idea from day one.
using crime stats to overlay and provide safer routing is a great feature. if that happens to show an ethnic neighborhood is like being in a Mad Max movie, so be it. I for one don't feel like I'm contributing to diversity and equal opportunity by letting a minority rob or maim or kill me.
it might indeed be testable, the other "universes" may have left patterns in ours when they were co-mingled. Analysis of the cosmic ray background might be a possible means
wrong, Jack Kilby at TI made very first integrated circuit based computers for the air force to use in planes in 1961 and then in Minuteman Missile in 1962.
"Space" technology includes ICBM, and thus space stuff drove integrated circuit based computers.
yes, sadly many black slave owners existed. however they were not the majority of slave owners. another misconception is that only the south had slaves, the northern states had them too.
well aren't you funny, our Federal government is in fact arming Syrian rebels who are raiding Christian towns and cutting off babies and women's heads. The CIA and NSA are in fact that evil.
And what is this nonsense of calling talk of revolution "devolving", our government has far surpased the abuses that lead our founding fathers to shed blood.
the NSA has indeed compromised certain cryptographic algorithms used in some operating systems, but you can read slashdot article on which ones were compromised.

bad advice, normal dimmers are not designed for LED at all and will degrade them (and LED can be ruined by them, see the link).
he's better off getting industrial incandescent and using with dimmer

reality is 5 pack GE 13W costs $28. what the hell is wrong with you, telling people on the other side of the world how much their CFL cost?

cheap good food exists, see my post above with costs.
yes, I shop for food. you are spewing nonsense. "He already told" a bunch of bullshit the same as you. here's reality:
25 lbs. sack of rice, $12.50
25 lbs. sack of beans $20.00
4 lbs. box of powdered milk $8 (makes 5 gallons)
dozen eggs $0.99
whole chicken $0.67/pound
high horse? I'm talking about economics here, you're whining about emotional response between your ears.
I can expect the poor to eat cheap good food, since I'm paying the health and food bill. better to hand out bland cheap good food
I see 350 lbs. people buying ding dongs and orange drink with their food stamps. how much does the healthcare for a person 200 lbs. overweight cost?

no, it's humility to use the word "observable", admitting most of the universe is out of reach of any known method of observation.
your mother takes up most the volume in both
don't need all that fancy DNA, billions could be made on a virus that only need deliver the "bigger"
better than professional, testing with *your* use case
canned solution might have problems with issues unique to your home environment, whether pets, roomba, HVAC, ceiling fans, sprinklers etc.
my friends with the commercial alarm systems have been through all that and more....
don't have to, you could mark everything inline and define in the header without typing each function declaration twice.
not recommended for general practice 8D
so what? test the stuff over a couple of weeks with everyone in the house going in and out
