"At 100% efficiency you'd need 445W/m^2 to be the same brightness as the sun (Sunlight/url)."
In what, early spring/late fall? Last we checked, solar insolation ran about 1,000W/m^2 assuming photon flux densities of 2,000 umol/m^2/s-1 yearly average.
And yet you claim to work for an AV company. Ever hear of GIANT, which eventually became Windows Defender, which eventually became Microsoft Security Essentials?
"Well, sorry for not liking poisons round my food."
Boy, do I have some news for you. Almost every fertilizer we use is toxic to humans. Plants are this wonderful thing called a biological filter, and with the exception of some heavy metals, plants tend to break down most anything else and use it.
In this case, besides the germination and flowering results, plants use sulfides/sulfates for:
Integral part of amino acids
Helps develop enzymes and vitamins
Promotes nodule formation on legumes
Aids in seed production
Necessary in chlorophyll formation (though it isn’t one of the constituents)
And a couple more things we haven't fully nailed down.
Unless every service is 100% symmetric, then it is not symmetric. You can't say 'Google Fiber is symmetric' while they offer a totally non-symmetric connection package.
Ahem... four-layer passthrough cells with optical waveguides (no lenses) built right onto the cells themselves, each layer harnessing a different bandgap. Top layer rolls red, second green, third blue, fourth UV. They sit on top of my research facility in the UK, and power it. Thank you.
We haven't used optical concentrators for 40% cells in quite a while. Now we use focused-bandgap absorption and silicon nano-structures to act as waveguides, no concentrator needed.
" but it does mean the editors here screwed up again."
No, it means the editors have pretty much lost any and all geek credential, plus have Alzheimer's, since we've had 20% silicon and high-efficiency cells for more than 5 years and we kept getting stories about them on slashdot.
Seriously, me shit-drunk could do a better job than every editor here combined.

Can't nab the kebab!
"Not sure about what you mean with "since XP""
And yet you claim to work for an AV company. Ever hear of GIANT, which eventually became Windows Defender, which eventually became Microsoft Security Essentials?
GIANT and Defender were on XP.
Uh, *I* never said 100+ killed. You'd better learn how to read user names and which post is attached to them.
Oh, wait, Anonymous Coward. Probably still in middle school.
Plenty of them in the entire comments section. I don't need to post any.
No citation needed - anyone with an actual education and older than 18 should know this. We were using this stuff since the 70s EASILY.
Sophos and Norton are the first two to come to mind that have done exactly that, along with wiping core Windows files.
You should speak for yourself. More than 10 are dead and almost 200 wounded.
Including one of my friends, whose family called to tell me he died in that explosion, as he was one of the volunteer firefighters.
" And obviously there should be a buffer zone around the plant, as there are around airports."
Most airports I've been around or in are within rifle distance of a house. That's a shitty buffer zone.
In Memphis I could take a slingshot and peg every FedEx plane on the tarmac, from my porch.
" I surely hope that this explosion is caused by an accident."
This is Texas, land of shit regulations. Of course it was an accident. This sort of shit happens in Texas ALL THE TIME.
We've known this well before I was even born, how the fuck is this news?

At least MSE doesn't go wiping system-essential files.
Like almost every other AV product has done once or twice in its life.
AV-Test is bullshit shill-paid, like almost every site out there.
MSE here, have run it since XP. Not one damned problem.
Cooks Magazine, Nat'l Geographic, Game Informer, etc.

"In what kind of world is clicking a couple of buttons to customize the look a big deal?"
One where efficiency matters.
Go look at South Korea. With APS like theirs, every keystroke means win or lose.
Go look at how Windows 8 is doing there - whoops.

Overall real world efficiency for chlorophyll can vary from 2% up to a whopping 15%, depending upon organism.
He shouldn't fucking have to.
I own three.
Alcohol spills kill more computers in this house.
Uh, no. You'd better check the tier list, pal. Google offers asymmetric services (5mbit/1mbit down/up)
Would you like to know how I know you have zero clue?
I build these things, and design the dimmer switches for them.
Try again when you actually make money doing this, yea?
