No. It's *YOUR* CFLs that are complete junk. I bought a bunch (Philips Marathon, 900 lumen, 15 Watt) about five or six years ago and have yet to have one fail. I don't have any of that "build up to full brightness" nonsense I've seen in other bulbs. It's full brightness right away.

So, given the experience that I and a significant number of CFL purchasers have had, is it any wonder that we scratch our heads at your bad luck and wonder about your power quality.

The big box stores are full of 3D televisions. Depth perception is not an issue.

LOL regular paychecks

Let me bring up the subject of the entire story: "Airbus Patents Windowless Cockpit That Would Increase Pilots' Field of View". So what is the point in bringing up a plane as an example of a windowless cockpit when it clearly has cockpit windows?

You're a little behind the times, that stopped eighteen years ago when PWORA was passed and AFDC abolished.

These days slaves are made with "right to work" laws and strict limits on the extent of the safety net.

I gained my freedom this past February. YAY! Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, I'm free at last!

Indeed, B&N is cheaper and ships faster and carries more books. And your public library is free.

And if you're going to buy a book, buy one of mine!

All of those would take out a camera as well, with a window having the benefit that one can simply shift one's head and see out beside the birdsplat/ice/debris/whatever. Straight-Outta-Luck with the laser, with both systems though.

The colonies remained under British rule until the British decided to release them. This happened with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on September 3rd, 1783.

What's that in the door of the cockpit... oh,yeah! A window. FAIL!

Perhaps what they should do is put lights along the runway.

Right! Anyone know where I can get an interface for a Commodore 1530 and about 20 gigs worth of C-120 cassette tapes?

There are no display systems more reliable than a plate of glass.

I love to think alone, but if I had participated in this study I'm sure I would have been like, sure, give me the shock, I'll take my fee and save 15 minutes. I have better things to do with my time. That might involve thinking on my own as I walk or drive away, but there's not much point hanging around their waiting room....
