Comment Go Microsoft! (Score 1) 28
I think this is the first time I can truly raise my head up high when I say I use Microsoft products.
As for the management part, we can only speculate that their management is better than that. I certainly hope it is... But unless either of us has a direct point of reference (aka - somehow interacting with these managers - be it being employed by Google, having one as a friend, etc...), there is no way to state for certain that Google's management is truly better than that.
I definitely hope you are right. But I'll believe it when I see it.
Companies do such things to keep the general public from accessing something that won't work for them, and to help minimize confusion, and to get them to upgrade if possible. That is why, while they don't state it specifically, I believe they may end up doing this user-agent filtering in the end. I realize you do not concur with my conclusion. I think we're at a stalemate. It's anyone's guess what might happen.
Hi, $random_name_here has left you a private message on facebook * A HREF="$hacker_url"* Click here *
The funny thing - I don't even use Facebook. Shows you what those stupid hackers know!
I never said you could see the flicker. I did say however that the flicker over time can damage your eyes.
The legislation effectively bans the incandescent in most used ranges. You might not call it a ban. But I do. But let's not get into a word game. Either way I am sure we can agree that unless the law changes, incandescent bulbs in their most used forms won't be around for much longer after 2014.
Another thing - you mention low efficiency. In regard to electrical use you are right. But most people skip the part that is most important: What is better for our eyes. Our eyes are designed for the constant non-flickering light of the sun - light that is similarly mimicked by halogen and standard incandescent bulbs. So it is electrically inefficient. But more importantly, it is vision / eye efficient.
The one above - the philips you mentioned is a halogen bulb if I recall right - which as I mentioned is the best compromise between the two technologies.
If you like the CLF's - then I say use them. I'm not going to try to stop those that want to change to CFL's or other technologies. The change though shouldn't be forced upon us. If they are a better technology, people will naturally transition without the need for legislation to force it along.
With your bare hands?!?
