    This person gets rated funny but the reality is 600w LED will stomp the dirt out of a 600w HPS/MH.

    The future of any crop production is LED. I'm already on the path to ensuring that. Soon my new diode type will be out, and no more bothering with ratios for production. Just load up on diodes and roll, with 3x better efficiency versus HID.

    The future is coming, and I have been a part of shaping it. Be prepared for some new stuff involving microplasma lighting, as well!

    Nope.

    Go read your box "design and specifications subject to change withotu notice"

    Also, Sony Representatives at CONFERENCES talking SPECIFICALLY about how OtherOS was an essential part of the PS3 doesn't count as an advertisement?

    I'd hate to live in your Bizarro world.

    Thank god I actually attend these kinds of conferences, so I'm likely in a much better position to speak than you. What was directly advertised to the public is not what was sold by Sony. If you kept your head in the sand long enough to not know this, that's not my fault.

    That's why China currently has a stranglehold on the rare-earth materials market, yes?

    No, not even close.

    Perhaps you should actually look into China's natural resources.

    Very first-gen boxes directly advertised OtherOS DIrectly on the box. Second revision (moving to the half software/half hardware BC) ditched that.

    You don't own a first-gen machine. I do. The VERY reason I bought it was because I saw OtherOS on the side of the box.

    Bullshit. The CA economy is based primarily from Agriculture and Technology. We were #4 economy in the world BEFORE all of this bullshit. These companies are the reason we're at #8 and FALLING.

    I'll go right out and say it - GOOGLE, YAHOO, THE MPAA, ARE ALL DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ECONOMY DROPPING LIKE A ROCK.

    The housing bubble was only a blip compared to the damage all of these other companies are currently doing.
