Bullshit. There are only a handful of states where an attorney may be present during a small claims case, and EVEN THEN there has to be a set amount of damages being claimed before that lawyer is even allowed in the courtroom. Mississippi is one I'm intimately familiar with, they have this condition, whereas in TN, CA, TX, attorneys are NOT allowed in the small claims room. There is NO legal representation other than your person and your evidence. Don't believe me? I'm right in the middle of one of these RIGHT NOW - Moreno Valley Court, California - MVC1103499. LAWYERS NOT FUCKING ALLOWED.
Hell, they're almost perfect containers for hydroponics experiments, and we could start developing horticultural panels for space (well, I've alread done that but getting it to work on shuttle power is another story.)

"Oh, so rapid movement and flashing lights occur in nature now?"
Apparently you're unaware of this natural phenomena we have called 'lightning' which flashes and moves VERY rapidly.
I think you just need to have your brain cremated right now. It's obviously non-functional.

Source - Based off of an IDEO headset (hi no crackpot shit here just family that WORKS for Sega) the Testbed Sega 3D visor caused massive headaches, eye strain, and also triggered macular degeneration.
I had to wait for morning to make the call to my Uncle but there is your information (as far as his NDA allows.)
Remember this - most doctors are just fucking pharmaceutical shills. You're going to have to prove your doctors in your reports aren't shills.
From my experience, it's not a VP but a JANITOR or Maintenance head that tells everyone to STFU about climate controls.
Except in my position, then it's my job to bitch about it because if they're not properly maintained a whole multi-million dollar crop responsible for keeping a few thousand people fed can quickly die.
Plants wilting at 87F is an indicator of being rootbound or poor balance of O2 at the root zone (again caused by root binding limiting the available surface area for oxygen absorption by the roots.)
Just FYI - put them in bigger pots with more soil.
"Which means that in 15~20 years you are barely supplying enough heat to overcome heat losses in the system."
Thermodynamics is going to set a hard limit on that. There's only so much you can put on one electron, eventually you will have wasted electrons and thus heat waste.
And, as we get smaller and smaller, we fit more and more in the same space, effectively nullifying the advantage.
In short, actually reusing the wasted heat will help. Sure, you're not likely to get MUCH back out of it, but any little bit helps.
"If a Web site demands that you give them your real phone number so that they can call you up to verify who you are, in order to use their "free" services, then that "free" service isn't worth using."
Really? Because I've had China hack my GMail a couple of times, and they couldn't get access because the confirmation call went to my phone number.
Granted that's a bit of a pain because they like to assume you have text capabilities (I have to use their voice cal) but it definitely stopped some illegitimate access to some sensitive design documents.
"Forgive the additional reply, but WRT to "John Smith" being banned -- Well, that's a folk singer's name."
When this country was first starting, many of the settlers did not have a last name or title. Thus, their last name came from their profession - So in your example, John Smith would have been a blacksmith named John.
This is in fact how many last names commonly found today were created. This tradition carried on well into the 1920s from what I recall.
I'm quite sure it would be trivial to get your stuff back even if you were a small-time businessman such as myself - stealing of trade secrets, tortious interference of business, etc.
"And with a 16:9 aspect ratio, you see the original movie without the funky pan-and-scan reediting needed to shift perspective to the most important on-screen action."
Actually, you see less still. Film is done typically in 1.85:1 or 2.39:1, which is wider than a 16:9.
Actually (I work in this industry) RGB LEDs are quite often used for displays and white light, since they are easily controlled to create a desired color temp. The color gamut on an LED display can reach near-CRT levels due to advanced quantum-dot phosphor tech producing a fairly-even distribution of light across all wavelengths (The spectral lines on good LEDs today are almost indistinguishable from a typical blackbody radiator in a spectroscope picture.)
Most large LCD screens don't use a CCFL, they use a T4 or T5 HO lamp. That's what's in my 32" Samsung LCD, I've had to replace the tube a couple of times and next time I'm ripping out the inverter, replacing it with a DC power supply and tossing a pair of LED tubes in instead.
LCD doesn't use phosphors. The LED backlighting almost certainly does, but it's based on quantum-dot phoshor tech which is much more reliable in maintaining color temps.

The warning isn't about 2D video, the warning is explicitly regarding seizure-inducing rapid movement or flashing effects.
Why, yes, I do read the labels and warnings. This is how I kicked EA's ass in court over Spore DRM. The joys of a near-photographic memory.

"By the age of 3 years most children will have binocular vision well enough established to enjoy viewing 3D television, movies or games."
Funny, considering Sega had their own study that contradicted that and forced them to pull their plans for a stereoscopic 3D visor.
Slashdot Mirror
Shit that's about as useless as grams per watt!
That has to be a violation of the anti-tying clause of Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
"they don't pay any tax"
They don't PAY tax because the government TAKES taxes first then taxes you MORE.
Fuck the double-dipping bastards.

Someone fails to understand how MAC cloning works...

Good luck with that one.
Small claims court where lawyers are forbidden. I win, they lose.
My litigation record is 100% success rate. Google can't even claim that.
They'd have to break the encryption on them, first.
That isn't a placebo. Close door buttons function with the firefighter key in the elevator control panel.
Without the key, the button is not functional, only the open door.

The phosphors don't degrade because they're more reliable quantum-dot phosphors instead of the array of tri-phos used in CFL/LL/TX fluorescents.
The electron beam is actually LESS damaging, but of course this depends on whether or not there is a static image on screen.
