This is why the porno industry has lasted as long as it has in the face of the internet. While *YOU* as a retailer might not give a fuck, we *WANT* our customers to be happy, since that's, you know, part of the fucking business.
Porn, doing what you lazy fucks can't do as a matter of courtesy, since FOREVER.
"Doesn't matter. Working in retail I learned that individual customers are very much unimportant. Just because you come in every week and buy a couple things doesn't make you a valued customer and your business will not be missed."
Again, you're working the wrong sort of retail, and thus don't know what the fuck you're talking about and even if you did, you don't display that sort of ethic. Not to be unexpected from a nearly 2 millions digit UID.
I actually do eat a large majority of my proteins raw. This has included pork on many occasions.
I think you're just ignorant of how to prepare raw foods. Go take a few culinary classes, and get some semblance of an education, which you have shown you lack.

Wanna know how I know you're full of shit (besides having used one of these for therapy on a totally rebuilt wrist?)
Used it after getting hit by a car and having my wrist pinned together. Helped me regain a lot of mobility, flexibility, and was essentially my own therapy for my wrist after the cast came off and pins came out.
Warning, you can injure yourself with these things. They produce a damn good bit of torque when in motion, enough to strain every tendon in your wrist if you aren't careful/expecting the force. Made the mistake of handing off one of these to my friends at about 12KRPM, and he strained the hell out of his wrist.
In short: Yes, they do work, yes, they do have benefits.
No, the book makes the point that this sort of behavior is, historically, par for the courseat MIT. In fact, it's almost EXPECTED of you to hack and modify.

"It must really eat you up from the inside that you not only picked the least popular platform to tie your self-worth to, but that on top of that, no one really cares you did"
I own every platform, fool, including an Action Maxx. I don't thi9nk you have half a fucking clue what you're talking about.
It must be life on hard mode for you - stupid, ignorant, assumptive, and inept. Life would only be harder if you were fat, black, female, and blind.
"I think the artificially lighted food growing industry is small."
Key word, think, not know.
As land space required to produce more crops increases, and the advent of vertical-tiered farming comes in, sunlight's going away. LED is also more efficient in terms of quantum yield, with sunlight getting at best 7-9% and LED getting 15+%. Those tests have been done, and the environmental impact (with fully-closed systems) is so negligible as to be laughable when you can use 1/8 of an acre to produce 2 acres of crop with nigh-nil pollution/runoff contamination/etc., and be able to do it even given the huge conversion losses in using solar panels and a battery bank to power the whole building.
And roughly 1/3 of Australia is banging on my door for my LED tech, plus Morocco, the UK, China, Japan, and the USA. That doesn't include people after my zero-light systems for meat farming, and the health food market (super-grasses, herbs, plants that typically cannot grow without light, like lettuce, etc.)
Whomever can pay enough for my full-blown tech (which happens to include bypassing traditional photon-driven growth and going to direct-feed to the plant via terahertz-range inductive currents through the hydroponic solution) will get close enough to owning world food production (assuming they have the land area.)
We're almost to the point where light is useless anyways, when we can give the energy directly to the plant. See, what would kill us off (like polyploid genetics) tends to make hardier plants. They tolerate direct electrical stimulation very well (so do mushrooms, and they grow almost exponentially faster. Thanks for that discovery, Japan!)
Sun-grown food is so inefficient that it's becoming passe, and every major country on the planet is realizing it.
And whomever pays me enough will own this world by controlling its food.
Hint: I'm never going to give it to the USA and will renounce my citizenship and move before they ever get a chance to figure it out or steal it.
So if you stay in the USA, you're on the losing team. Just a heads-up.
Quit using google and start looking it up directly in the legal databases that most civilized countries provide.
It's about time people started learning that Google and Wikipedia are pretty poor ways to go about getting information when you can go direct to the damned source.

Linus went from Revert to 'lambaste' and that wasn't part of the three Rs. He didn't raise questions, he went fucking stupid (like you) and instead of acting like a professional acted like Richard Stallman when he had his autistic shit fit on stage.
And hence, Linus Whorevalds is a fucking moron that simply needs to shut the fuck up and go away.
As long as Linux has someone that unprofessional at the wheels, I'll stick with the smaller (and superior) MenuetOS.
You can do the T5 the same way, the conversion is simply the adapter to fit the ends in since T5 is shorter by a couple of inches (4-foot is actually 46 inches.)
Ballasts shouldn't need to be replaced. dual 4-foot T5s would only use 96 watts nominally, which is what your 8-foot T12 ballast should push. All you need is the conversion to 4-foot parallel hookups, then drop the T5 mount adapters in place. MUCH cheaper option if LED is not your route.
Also, T5 lamps have better luminous efficacy anyways, so you might as well jump straight to those.
"An example of a small industry that is using LEDs"
The very industry that keeps you fed, SMALL?
With some of the tech I've developed, I could give the entire USA Agricultural industry to China and throw this country into a severe depression as farmers here in the USA can no longer compete.
Don't think your food supply as 'small industry.' That's a very foolish thing to assume.
You're making a mistake as T-12 and T-8 are getting phased out, somewhat like incandescents (though the T8s will get to stick around longer,) leaving T5 lamps.
Might as well go to solid LED and not worry about maintenance costs.
"I am a little curious whether it would be possible to make a two-part "white" LED for diffuse light; have a separate glass with phosphors on it, and illuminate that with royal blue."
That's how it's been done for years, directly on the substrate instead of with a separate component.
Slashdot Mirror
For once, this is an arming everything situation I can agree with.
That makes it so much easier to triangulate. Better brush up on your forensics, pal.
Troll. Quake can't run on a 486 33MHz system, even with 32MB of RAM and a GLQuake capable GPU.
I tried. The GPU alone won't work with anything less than a 66MHz 486.

EULA of almost every major ISP here in America for a non-business class connection.
You read it yourself. I'm not going to be bothered to hunt down the ToS/EULA for every US ISP.

Don't need that either, I don't have it. I just know how to actually SEARCH instead of relying upon Google to tell you what you're looking for.
That comes from many years of using WEBCRAWLER.
Google search results are a gamed SEO-ridden fucking RICO-suit waiting to happen.
And Google won't ever stop, because it makes them too much money.
Quit using google and start looking it up directly in the legal databases that most civilized countries provide.

This explains why HPS, despite a lacking spectral curve, does so damned well overall in yields.

"Avoid Green. It is the only colour of light that is not absorbed by chlorophyl."
Wrong. Green has a higher quantum yield at sunlight intensity.
