Which makes for some of the most unreliable weaponry in battle. Playroom is CRITICAL, too tight a tolerance and shit jams too much, too loose of a tolerance, shit misfires or falls apart.
Learn from the AK-47. (BTW new model coming out, AK-12.)
The second you expose RO or deionized water to atmosphere, it starts sucking up ions. It doesn't stay super-pure more than a few minutes before it's picking crap up out of the atmosphere.
Your 3% vs 8% figure is way off. Newer LEDs use ceramic conversion, heavily boosting internal efficiency, and their current electrical efficiency is much better, which puts them at about 25% efficiency overall. Without CC, Cree has a plain white 350mA diode pushing 230+ lux/w in the labs, and there are 150+ lux/w efficiency diodes out right now (rivaling MH/HPS.)
Also, Enclosed, kill LED? Nope. I have plenty of enclosed modules that work just fine in hot or cold conditions (meant for use in freezers AND ovens.)

Portability: I could carry my entire year in my backpack.
Durability: Yea, that little piece of silicon you're holding is just as susceptible to fire, heat, water, OH AND CRASHING. Books aren't crashing. Books don't need an expensive proprietary OS to work, they truly 'just work.'
Accessibility/interactivity/searching: Most books meant for rapid searching/accessibility have both indexes and a table of contents - TWO SEARCH ENGINES! IMAGINE THAT!
Consistent Quality: Books don't need software updates, and aren't prone to getting hacked. Revisions do happen, but they're few and far between because of TRUE quality control.
Environmentally Friendly: They're more environmentally friendly (and trap lots more carbon) than your strip-mined piece of silicon, iridium, cadmium, etc. Takes less energy to manufacture, too!
I still have investors to appease, but not shareholders. I'm not large enough for that to happen, yet. Before I get that large, this company will get split into much smaller companies, all of which I will own. There is no way I will ever let any individual company get large enough to be forced into taking on shareholders. My companies run *MY* way and no other.

Swiss guns are shit. Germans got good one.
AA-12 still owns all.
And default is 1, so 1 + 2 = ?
Basic math, hard for most slashdotters.

Hi, my name is sublimation. I come from your high school chemistry years and would like a word with you.........

Your ignorance says while I've been downing pure deionized and distilled water for years, with zero ill effect.

Read up on Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion.
Brine is crap, use temperature gradients instead.
Oxygen being in the center of a water molecule pretty much makes it larger than helium in ALL directions.
Get a gun, shoot all people responsible for the drafting of ACTA.
It's the only way to be sure.

What you need is to grow a pair and shoot the bastards responsible for this.

"I have no reason to think the 60 watt-replacement LEDs would be any different."
3w of heat from a 6w LED bulb isn't going to do much trapped in a small area.

There's a design meant for enclosed locations.

I already have the capability of generating 200-800 THz radiation.
In fact, you can buy such emitters directly from the top link in my signature.
D'oh.

Company is top link in my sig. I run everything. I *AM* the company (created from a UK-based corporation and freed upon contract completion.)

"The car has some of the highest structural rigidity in the industry."
So, less crumple zones to absorb impact, thus leaving me to absorb more of it.
No thanks.
The only thing VGA needs is a better-speed RAMDAC, typical ones run 400MHz, which seems good for 2048x1536.
Bump that to 600MHz and let's see what we're doing.
