You are correct, but on the spec sheet you'll find the highest bin XM-L is 160 lumens at 350 mA. The efficiency drops from there such that at 3 Amps (max output) it can only sustain just over 100 lumens per watt. Same with the new MK-R - you'll see it says "Up to 1769 lm @ 15 W, 85C" which equals 118 lumens per watt at max output. I think they like talking them up.
I hope retrofits get better soon - LEDs are a pretty big boon for the world - the amount of waste and electricity they save will be pretty big.
At 200 lumens/Watt (assume 160 as a system), this is huge. It makes a whole lot of retrofit applications viable.
The current market leader, the Cree XM-L does 160 lumens per watt. So this is a 25% increase.
At 160 lumens/watt the XM-L is already way more efficient than fluorescent, HID, halogen incandescents, etc. Yet the industry still hasn't gone ahead to retrofit/adapt this to existing applications. I don't think this newer Cree MK-R is going to change the rate of adoption that much - the only industry that jumps on LED advancements is the torch industry.
Show those three acronyms to someone who doesn't use computers - they probably won't know wtf you're talking about. They didn't have an internet in the 1930s/40s to look them up on. If the code has stumped code breakers now - maybe it stumped the opposing code breakers back then as well.
"Bad" is entirely subjective. I think it's a clever and useful new interface.
Mind you they didn't make it for computer geeks, they made it for the other 99% of the world that just wants quick and easy. "Oh but it's not quick and easy" you might say. That's because it's breaking the interface paradigms you're stuck in and you're not adapting.
I've seen people who can't use Linux (any variant) or OS X because they're too different than Windows.
I've seen people who think iOS is too complicated compared to Nokia OS.
It's all relative to what you're comfortable using and how willing you are to learn a new paradigm.
Fortunately for me I've used everything under the sun since 1987 - so relearning is as easy as pie.
America hands out patents for anything and everything. Holders of those patents are mainly American interests. When foreign nationals innovate they are slapped with American lawsuits from the patent holders. More money is spent in America. America maintains its IP power base.
"All the non-religious peeps are good without the afterlife reward carrot in front of them."
All of them you say... yeah, no.
To start, only some are "good" (how you universally define that I do not know). Then only some will be good without prodding. You ignore that the rules and regulations of society are very much full of carrots and sticks.
Actually it's not a "book" as such. It is distinctly a collection of stories and letters that were at one stage compiled and bound together. The original authors never intended for them to be in a book. Many of the letters were probably never even meant for more than one person. Go figure.
What "ample evidence" is there that any individual part was rewritten?
Over at macrumors.com they publish every interesting bit of Apple news - except the news that the Jury Foreman is dodgy and Apple's lawyers are not much better.
Exactly - all of the violin family and guitar family are left handed - despite what one may read on wikipedia.
All of the technically hard work is done on the finger board or the fret board with the left hand. This means it is easy for a left hander to play, and hard for a right hander - fulfilling the requirements to be called left handed.
The modern suggestion that it is a right handed instrument because right handed people play it that way is ridiculous. It is played that way because of tradition - and tradition dictates it as a left handed instrument. For some strange reason whenever this is pointed out to lefties they argue black and blue that it can't possibly be a left handed instrument (because nothing is ever made left handed).
FYI a standard guitar with left hand on the fretboard is a left handed instrument - and right handed people learn to play it left handed without a complaint.
The fret work is an order of magnitude harder than plucking or strumming the strings.
Yes. Or you could wave your hand in the air and create that frequency.
I want to know where we stop considering it as sound and start calling it incidental kinetic energy. A significant amount of our movements (eg. breathing as you suggested) would be under the 10Hz range and constantly creating sound frequencies that we don't naturally consider as sound.
I'm fully ambidextrous and I am of the belief that all left handed problems stem from a refusal to accept the learning process of using the other hand. I.e. "I'm left handed and I'm only going to use my left hand".
I believe there is no such thing as a left handed or right handed person. You have two hands. You choose to use one of them at all times. I guarantee you that if you are left handed and have your left hand chopped off in an accident, you'll magically be right handed in not much time at all.
When I learn a new action I can learn it with the left or right hand and the skill automatically transfers to the other hand as a mirror image. But, it is just as hard (in general, there are a few exceptions) to initially learn it with the left as with the right hand.
This obstinance I speak of makes lefties do strange things - like change a guitar over to the right side of the body - a strange action indeed because a standard guitar is left handed already, and all right handed people learn to play it left handed.
Actually the very first 3 shops to hit Australia (which I think opened a year or two before the first Apple shop in Australia) looked very much like this and didn't initially have the neon coloured changing lighting (at least in my local store).

Note: this Cree MK-R isn't super suitable for torches - it's a multi-chip design that supersedes the MC-E and runs around 11 to 12 volts.

I hope they succeed in getting content available cheaply online.
The Torrent Freak article should read "iiNet, the ISP that was unsuccessfully sued by Hollywood after refusing to help chase down alleged infringers".

Some nations are terrible. But the US controlling the internet hasn't stopped them being terrible.
Many of these nations already do all the things people are worried about happening.
Yes. Very vested interest.
I think it goes something like this:
America hands out patents for anything and everything.
Holders of those patents are mainly American interests.
When foreign nationals innovate they are slapped with American lawsuits from the patent holders.
More money is spent in America.
America maintains its IP power base.
So do you know for sure that it was a public road? Right next to open shooting.
Isn't it more likely to be a club access road?
In other words, they're not killing pests.
No, it doesn't matter how you try and paint it, these animals are still classified as pests.
I doubt it went through the front entrance with permission.
So in response to having a drone shot down, you're suggesting shooting the original shooter. You're a psychopath.

I was thinking along similar lines.
Cool.
I wonder what the infection rate along the interfaces is?

I want to know where we stop considering it as sound and start calling it incidental kinetic energy. A significant amount of our movements (eg. breathing as you suggested) would be under the 10Hz range and constantly creating sound frequencies that we don't naturally consider as sound.
Which means you are partially ambidextrous.

Yes, this has the look of a typical Australian mobile phone retailer - and they've all looked this way for over a decade.
Ah, you idiot deniers crack me up, so you do.
And you make sure you point out where he denied climate change.
I'm sure the irony of your situation won't allude you.
