No, it can also mean "I can get into a negative quantity of caring, as opposed to zero," which is the meaning for most Americans.
Considering I've had multiple DMCAs successfully withstand a challenge in court regarding my own website and the modification of its content, I think you're the mistaken one, here.

Never touched LinkedIn in my LIFE and that shit site is spamming my gmail account CONSTANTLY.
I paid great attention to the story. I carried several characters from ME to ME3, through several playthroughs.
That was a fucking cop-out with very little expounding upon the future consequences/benefits of said action. It was too short, lacking detail, and quite obviously HASTILY DONE.

All while avoiding your own vaunted 'basic journalistic integrity' and never posting a detailed explanation in the comments, all the while ranting. So much for your 'integrity.'
Please, child. Detach yourself from mummy's PC, reattach to her tit.
I love mainly that you thought of the energy expenditures involved in traditional farming, which nobody ever seems to consider. This will also heavily reduce labor costs and manpower required for many crop types. Some might be totally unaffected and still require at least the same manpower, but I'm sure that can be fixed along the way.
It scales very well, limited only by your vertical space (the LED website is only that, there's a whole other side that deals purely with the hydroponic systems and automation process.) And some crops don't need light at all and use almost negligible space, so they can be produced en-masse like nobody's business.
Like Truffles. Or Sprout foods. We can roll 1 acre of wheat grass in 1/8 of an acre, and use 99% less water, and the only energy used is in the pumping systems and atmosphere/nutrient controls, as you don't need light. That makes raising livestock in drought-stricken areas, like Texas, California, Arizona, Middle East, Africa, etc. that much more feasible.
With lighting, still quite scalable, and as soon as we get maybe thorium reactors going, we could be farming and raising livestock on the moon or Mars, as was my original intent when starting with just the LED research. Hello off-world and under-water colonization/agriculture! Ditto water-lacking deserts!
Now here's the fun part. Add on a desalination plant, convert the harvested sea salts into nutrient salts (with some nitrate and potassium boosters to compensate for the lacking N and P) and you've got a full-scale coastal production facility that's almost fully self-sufficient. There's so much to do with what's in my head and currently on the ground, I can keep going on and on for ages.
"In turn, the farmer is able to produce a crop which yields significantly more bushels per acre than he would be able to achieve using non-modified corn seeds."
Actually, if one knew how to properly apply certain wavelengths of light at the right times, one could outdo Monsanto's yields with 'natural' corn.
I do it all day with about 30% of known food crops, natural seed beating GE/GM plant equivalents. Monsanto is headed towards being a useless and dead company. My technology will make them 100% obsolete, from their seed to fertilizer business.

Carbon nanocomposite heatsinks have been in my LED panels for a couple of years. I've got an AlC composite that pushes roughly 560wmk.
"That - literally - makes no sense whatsoever."
Well, at least we know you're not fit for quantum sciences.

You'd have to ask China and my legal department about that one. I just get the news, my staff handles the rest.
Yes, China. Isn't that funny?

Get your head out of your ass.

Except that's a proper sentence and statement, you 9th grade English failure.

Modifiable bandgaps for multi-wavelength LEDs, anyone? Multi-spectrum lasers?

"it's your mummy's tit I'll be detaching from"
Seems I was right to label you a child, with such unimaginative repetition spewing from your keyboard.
Your explanation didn't even come close to anything resembling journalism. Very short on detail.
Maybe I could put myself up for some video talking. It'd be a great opportunity to clear up a ton of BS regarding LED horticulture technology.
DVDs look like crap on LCD vs CRT because most are recorded in an interlaced format. LCD isn't an interlaced display device, CRTs are.
You need to deinterlace the image.

See you're really new here.
The original purpose of this site was some guy's personal BLOG.
Ain't *SHIT* for journalistic standards in a blog format, and that same format EXISTS TO THIS DAY.
7-digit UIDs, so brainless and late to the party, as always.
If you're this far behind in technology, you'll never get anywhere any time soon,
"I haven't the time to look up every acronym and backronym on the entire internet"
Judging by your comment history, you're lying.
I could build several UVC-LED flashlights for that much and get the same effects with better lifetime, durability, and portability.
