"and narrow it down to the ideal red and blue spectrum ranges for vegitative and flowering growth"
Green has higher quantum yield versus red or blue at higher levels of photon flux. This is why HPS works so well for growing pot, despite having a rather lacking spectral profile.
Red/blue only lighting is okay for small food crops, like lettuces, herbs, etc. Larger plants benefit from the additional boost green gives in the long run.
"I don't think this newer Cree MK-R is going to change the rate of adoption that much - the only industry that jumps on LED advancements is the torch industry."
Oh how wrong you are. Horticulture is HUGE on LEDs right now, and with this sort of efficiency, game over high-pressure lamps.
What shitty efficiencies are you getting from those LEDs? Ten percent? I've got a 100w array in a 30mm x 30mm package, cooled by a stock Intel 775 heatsink and delta fan.
"Fix the mistake first, either by removing the patch that broke everything or quickly implementing a fix"
And this is why Linus is a fucking moron.
You revert first, ask questions next, then fix the issue. You can't fix shit without figuring out what went wrong, and thus you can't fix it without asking questions to find out what went wrong. The three R's of kernel maintenance (and I'm not surprised Whorevalds forgot this) in case of failure is "Revert, Raise Questions, Repair."
And we wonder why Linux is taking so long to actually get anywhere, billions of distros notwithstanding.
That's not the fault of the hardware, that's the fault of the software that lets devs interface with the hardware.
I hate working in the semiconductor field. People like you piss us off all the time with you "It's the hardware."
No, it fucking isn't. It's your failure to understand logic and develop your own tools instead of relying upon ours. If you can do it better, fucking do it. Otherwise, shut the fuck up!
"no one gives a fuck because no one can tell the difference"
Only ignorant people like yourself. Those of us with the time, inclination, and true geek attitude have already taken your bullshit apart and found out that it's just that, bullshit.
See, on a nice big screen like mine, I can pick out flaws very quickly. Frame dropping to play catch-up is rampant even on 360 exclusive titles, and the suddenly large gaps in movement show that. I can see the heavy anti-aliasing done and actually figure out that the 360 is not running at the resolutions it's claiming because it needs 4xMSAA to even make the image look good enough for 1080i - NOT P - I. I can see the non anti-aliased jaggies in the PS3 game and see that it is indeed pushing true 1080p, and since I can disable filtering on my screen, it makes it much easier to pick out.
BTW, your comment history shows how much of an ignorant fanboi you are.
"You don't back your claims, in reality it's PS3 games that run in "640p"
I can pause my games on my PS3, monitor displaying "1080p" in the upper-right hand corner, and one-by-one with a magnifying lens count the pixels and go "This is a true 1080p image without anti-aliasing" - example being Mortal Kombat, or Valkyria Chronicles, or Uncharted.
BTW, you can't evenly scale 640p up to 1080p. So your claim off the bat is bullshit.
You won't mention the franchise because you've never done console development and you'd get the shit sued out of you by said franchise.
"PS3 got SPUs, and that's about it. It has less RAM, less performant GPU,"
The 256 MB of RAM running core clock speed way outperformed the 360's 512MB, and the only reason the 360 as a whole got labeled superior was the inclusion of the eDRAM for video, which had huge amounts of bandwidth, but CPU to CPU, the RDRAM killed the DDR3 in the 360 which ran at 700 MHz. The modified GeForce 7800GT in the PS3 slammed the shit out of the ATi -revamped X1800, with the ATi GPU only having the advantage of the eDRAM which allowed for heavy anti-aliasing (because the true output resolution on the 360 needed that much.)
SPU utilization has primarily been used for physics processing. The (essentially) GeForce 7950GT was (and even in my PC, still is) a capable GPU.
"Compare the framerates of the cross-platform games, BTW."
On a very large screen like mine, framerate dropping is quite noticable. The 360 lagged much more, shown by increased distance of movement between displayed frames, where a frame or two got dropped to allow for rendering of the frame further up to catch up.
"So in other words, I could believe several years' archives of face-offs on multiple sites, not least Eurogamer"
All almost paid-for review sites.
Owning both a 360 and PS3 - PS3 owns the 360. See, the 360 LIES about its actual video output and my very smart TV catches on and goes "This isn't the proclaimed 1080i the 360 is saying, this is 720i" and auto-adjusts resolution. It even tells me in the upper-right corner what resolution it switched to.
The 360 has a maximum theoretical full-system performance of 1TFLOP.
PS3 2 TFLOPs.
The PS3 handled far better parallel calculations (such as in-game physics, sound shifting/doppler/etc.) than the 360.
You might want to get your eyes checked. My TV saw through the bullshit resolution and you didn't.
That'd be a Samsung LN32A550, by the way, in case you wanted to know the model of monitor I was using.
You know why they suck? Because we have devices far more powerful than what they put in these TVs, which are more capable in the department of handling internet stuff.
This is why my 32" Samsung is a TV/monitor ONLY. Every other device I have hooked to it has all the 'smart' capability I need.
"Even the driver for my video card that Win7 found was only one version older then the latest one available at the manufacturers website (Perhaps MS stays clear of the newest ones until the bugs are worked out,"
No, the latest drivers hadn't passed WDDM certification.
Like a brand new engine block every 30K miles. Already had to replace two in older vehicles due to E* being the cause of water getting into carburetors/fuel injectors and into the engine cylinders themselves. Distilled fuel-grade ethanol likes to soak up water whenever it can.
You might want to think your nonsense over, because nobody with half a brain would read my statement and think me a suspect should you end up dead of natural causes, since, yanno, a laser isn't a natural cause.
Competent criminals can get in without much noise at all. If your door opens inwards, a credit card and a bump key is all I need, and that can be done almost 100% below whisper levels of noise. Those split windows that move vertically? Slim jim will push that 180-degree security latch aside no noise at all if you have even 1mm of clearance between the frames. LOL @ French Doors. Unless you've got some creaky floorboards, I know to walk from foot-edge to full-plant and not make one sound while creeping towards you.
I spent a lot of time sneaking in and out of the house as a teenager, or breaking in if I locked myself out. I've even gone so far as to grab the keys to Dad's Scion just to unlock the steering wheel, slip outside, break in using a doorstop and coat hanger to get to the lockbox inside the door paneling, throw the car into neutral (yay manual transmissions) and push it halfway down the block, hit the downhill, jump in, and clutch-start it so he wouldn't hear me going for a beer run (which means he'd wake up and demand some beer.)
You're nowhere as secure or as safe as you think. NEVER. Someone with experience and intelligence will always thwart your plans, plus the fact they can think on the fly if they're competent. This is why fool-proof only gets applied to the customer in the security business (TSA being an example) - they're fools for thinking they're secure, and you just get milked of money to pay for it. And this train of thought goes doubly so for individuals.
Keep those keys in the safe. I'm going to laugh when that cheap metal snaps during an emergency and my laser (since I can't own guns, yet I've got access to much more accurate and deadly technology that isn't regulated as firearms,) quietly discharges and puts a hole in your skull 10+mm deep. It's nothing to make a pumped 10W femtopulsed diode laser with enough power to punch through a steel and platinum-coated razor blade, which is so much more effective on your soft tissue given the right wavelength.
Your neighbors wouldn't even hear the 'shot.' You might hear the whine should I decide to charge the shot right in front of you. Even then, it'd be a tiny short whine since I'd be smart enough to use ultracapacitors for the weapon.
You might be safe against typical criminals. Me or anyone like me? Sorry, pal. You don't stand a chance. And you'd be foolish to think there aren't others as smart as I am - given I only have a GED and a couple of college classes.
And they're just as free to own up to their false accusations in court and be barred from reporting on anything until a court determines otherwise, just like you and I.
That doesn't change the fact that this company, its subsidiaries, and its owners are all well-known liars that should be shut down.
They shouldn't be releasing names, because Fox News ALREADY DID SO and DID SO INCORRECTLY, identifying the wrong person and essentially getting a huge chunk of people to storm this poor guy's facebook page, call him up, and give death threats.
Fox News needs to be banned. The less bullshit being spread around, the better off we will be as a society.

Nope. I'll stick with 15+ years of direct hardware experience versus a group of sub-30s neckbeards.

There's plenty of cause to the suit.
Look up "Contract of Adhesion" then re-read the old and revised TOS.
There is literally no 'meeting of the minds' here and the new/old EUA/TOS is quite overreaching with regards to personal copyright.
