The reduced cooling should help in lowering the costs of the LED versus the CFL and the reduced energy consumption will be a help as well.
Yesterday I went to Walmart to get new light bulbs, old CFLs I had burned out. There Walmart had LED bulbs in stock, at around $20 a bulb. I ended up going to Sam's to get CFLs, an 8 pack cost less than $6.

And 3 years ago CFL's were going for as high as $10+ per bulb.
Your brother needs to brush off on his study cases, Little Caesar's and Pizza Hut were founded almost concurrently.
Why spoil the fact 99% of the comments praising SpaceX are based solely upon fallacies and not even knowing their heads from their rear end on the total processes and limitations of either manufacturer. They're praising a start up who in Lockheed's position will gladly extort the government and any potential client if it becomes the predominant player. These libertarian twinkies will never admit their free market is a pipe dream and will roar with delight the next private space transport start up hoping they will become the SpaceX killer the day SpaceX reveals its spots. Of course, these praising SpaceX now will be dead before that happens.
Columbine and Newtown school shootings were both with legally acquired guns in the wrong hands. Robberies and drug deal shootings frequently use illegal (hence less traceable) guns.
So your premise assumes guns were legally in the wrong hands due to the devastating end results, correct? It's an erroneous statement as the determination is always post criminal activity.
If someone used voter registration rolls to publish a map of all registered black voters, would that be a 1st Amendment vs 14th Amendment issue, or would that be a 1st Amendment vs privacy issue?
No, but are they publishing gun ownership by race? Political contributions are publically broadcasts on maps every election.
It becomes everyone's business when your property is a hazard or risk to others.
So that infectious disease you have should be public information?
Are we talking air born virii or non-air-born herpes, syphillis, and such?
I guess the inverse of this map would be map of safe places to rob.
And would allow the local law enforcement to focus on those unarmed homes, thus making their jobs that much easier. Thanks for being hyperbolic.
On the other hand, it's the only mainstream language I know that supports both very low-level and very high-level programming style. This can be a real plus for compute intense signal processing, were a small minority of the code really requires low-level implementations. Being able to mix that with high-level abstractions (e.g. linear algebra factorizations) can give both efficient and maintanable code.
Objective-C.
..to 2 billion people when you consider India + China. That means automobile transportation is quickly becoming NORMAL in those areas. That means HORRENDOUS smog problems for the next 4-6 decades in those areas.
In short, this isn't news, it was expected when you consider how much of the world is still developing quickly.
Unlike the ineptitude of the US, the build out of high speed rails is a full on reality.
You'll hate *much* more the day the H.264 licensing moster raises its ugly head.
Next round for starting asking for licensing fees is 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing
Which won't happen. The patent holders have too much invested in hardware to cut off their noses to spite their face.
XHTML 2.0 was actually much better than this crap, but it's not an iterative improvement, it's a whole new language altogether.
Not hardly. XHTML 2.0 is a pain in the ass. The entire XML child spawn of crap was nothing but overhead.
