Comment Re:LED Light Bulbs -- More Info (Score 1) 479
Sorry, I did mean 100W equivalent. I only was loaned the LED bulb for one night so I didn't get to measure the power. However, I did compare it to both a CFL and an incandescent floodlight. The color was dead on with the incandescent, and better than the CFL. It was brighter than both the CFL and the incandescent. All the bulbs claimed a warm room color temperature (3800C ?). The LED lamp was unmarked and no information was volunteered as to the source or the price. The LED lamp apparently had one yellow looking emitter inside the glass envelope. After leaving the LED on for more than an hour I could feel no temp rise on the bulb itself and very little around the base. I suspect there will be a huge power savings not just from the LED bulb, but also from the AC not having to remove heat generated by incandescent bulbs in the summer time. This wasn't your typical Home Depot LED lamp.

Just wait until LED light bulbs start hitting the fan. Watch the coal lobbiests and their pet politicians scramble then. I was recently allowed to try some 100W LED floodlights that were indistinguishable from the incandescent version, except no heat and a lot less power.

If they have really found neutralinos then wouldn't that would mean supersymmetry is confirmed? It that case it is a whole new ballgame in particle physics. There are blogs out there that are saying that CERN is about to announce something big too.

This treaty shows that the USA still has the best lawyers, legislators, and corporations in the world. Everyone else needs to jump on the USA bandwagon and support this treaty. You all should be thankful that the USA, MPAA, RIAA, Sony, Disney, and the other sponsors of this treaty are looking out for you. Large corporations need to protect their rightful customary income streams so that everyone can enjoy all the benefits of corporate oversight of your lives. So quit whining.
