No, they don't need lower temps. Not at all. The LEDs themselves need lower temps for cooling reasons. I have no problems operating these LEDs out in the Mojave.
Nope. The efficiency drop comes if you run these in series, which is what they're doing, and using a voltage-clamp driver. If you run them in parallel configs, you will not have anywhere near the loss. A little over-cycling using PWM, and you can really push the envelope without much worry in the heat department.
I've got a 12w LED floodlight that can light up nearly my entire back yard.
"This is a gaming card marketed to extreme gamers."
And since games are probably the most resource-intensive fucking thing, you should expect your GAMING CARD to kick major ass at everything else if it has the capability.
This is why nVidia is losing in the general-purpose GPU arena. AMD just keeps trucking along, upgrading EVERYTHING. NVidia? Gimps your shit.
Anyone with a brain would go over that system with a fine-toothed comb to look for such things, and then wipe the system and restore from a known-good backup, and diff update.
You can get laser goggles that will protect you from most of the exposure of higher-powered lasers. It is simply a combination of a highly-reflective surface plus a bandgap filter. You'd get a 530-580nm filter to work with green lasers and be safe.
"Just because you're stupid doesn't mean the law MUST protect you."
Actually, that's what laws are for.
"People just need to learn to RTFM, all the routers now have manuals with Big Friendly Pictures and Big Friendly Setup Wizards which tell you to set the password."
Mine didn't come with a manual, nor a setup wizard. It just came with a slip of paper with the login code for the router, and the default wireless encryption key (and the wireless encryption was turned off by default.)
I'd love to see a citation on that one. A reliable scientific one, if you would, because I certainly smoke cannabis like a freight train and drink beer like it's water.
"To me, there is no expectation of privacy if your communication is not encrypted."
Some people aren't capable enough to even program the clock on a VCR, yet you expect them to know how to magically set up encryption. The expectation of privacy is still there. It never goes away.
Still waiting for your response. Here in Southern Ca, what I have said stands. Several thousands of acres shut down due to 'organic' soil contamination (cow urine, to be exact, in excess concentrations.)
I'm guessing you have none, due to your ill-educated tripe.
You're assuming that water won't continue eroding the rock over those thousands of years, and just keep it open, or eventually make an under-rock tunnel, and the Mediterranean Sea becomes a tidal lake.
I've been to dozens of farms that use 'organics' all across the globe, they farm EXACTLY the way I describe.
Most people (professionals even) that I've met doing organics are all going the same way, and I'm watching them destroy the proper balance of their soil. Pretty soon, it will be unusable for even grass.
In fact, three are getting shut down by the EPA. So much 'organic' stuff used over twenty years, the soil is more toxic than the nearby dairy farms, which have been around for at least 60 years.
There's a big difference between citing a very obviously biased source versus someone that does this globally and is known in the UK and AUS for nearly peerless advances in hydroponics, automated systems, and new lighting advances.
And I do it all on a budget 1/100th what Rodale has.
What a wasteful institute. No wonder they chose organics, it matches their wastefulness.

I've got 150 lux/w LEDs right now. Philips is NOWHERE near leading the industry. Cree is kicking ass with 220+ lux/w LEDs.
This is news, how? You can find superior lighting in China and South Korea right now.
That is well within the normal hearing range of a teenage human.
"Too bad they are all complete shit on the desktop."
Too bad you're apparently the most incompetent computer user on the planet.
"it's not a general purpose card"
THEN WHY FUCKING INCLUDE CUDA AT FUCKING ALL IN THE HARDWARE?
Derp, you're not thinking this morning. Go get yourself some coffee and think a little harder.

Mononucleiosis, maybe!

He wins, that's about as mono-layer as you can get!
You must be stupid, as ACs can get rated/modded up.
4-digit UID my ass. Maybe 7.

I'm not confused. Organic means contains carbon. Period. Anything else is marketing bullshit.
And in hydroponics, 'organic' solutions SUCK. That's been well known.

And good job on your part ignoring the VERY PLANT I'm talking about, linked with a picture.
Denial of evidence = denial of fact.
Hi, I grow this stuff, it's my job, I do this globally. Do you? No? Hush.
I keep you fed. Keep that in mind. My tech keeps your food prices down.
Your post said "Afraid you are wrong. Organic means no man-made chemicals"
Organic does NOT mean no man-made chemicals.
Human urea. Quite man-made, via their own natural processes. Quite 'organic' by the USDA.
You need to read the USDA website to see what they consider 'organic' as your definition is WRONG.
