Comment Re:LED lighting (Score 1) 243

Had you read the story I linked you would have found this little nugget:
"312 Ephesus stadium fixtures were installed in the University of Phoenix Stadium. They will replace more than 780 metal halide fixtures..."
and then this:
"the new lights will use just 310,000 watts of energy. The system it replaces needs 1.24 million watts, which translates to a 75% reduction in overall energy consumption."

You want to drive a car, we need to know you are capable and will test you. But feel free to raise Jeffrey Dahmer in your living room with no questions asked.

If the US and China go to war, instead of dividing up the spoils as the Russians self-destruct, I will run barefoot down a street paved with broken glass to pop a pimple on a bobcat's balls with a hand full of barbed wire.

I would tend to agree with you, but I'll start looking for a venue just in case things go the other way...
Shaving bobcat balls to find a pimply set is going to be the hard part.
As for the rest, Vegas Baby!
