I did find some at that price range, non dimmable but ok color. But so far the low cost units like that have a shorter life than old school bulbs, guess that may be my bad luck, but turned me away from them.

tried to get local support for those early fails, local store no help. Ship them back for more than the bulbs cost, no way.

Don't get me wrong, I'll keep trying, I like the tech (duh I read /.) but it's just not there yet.

By the way I think the phase out was done wrong, there are some ok LEDs bulbs out there at ace and hd, that have good color and run about 10$. But they are nite lights. I think the smaller bulbs would be run out first.

To be able to stomach the change all lights need the same color rating, some have none.
Actually, change that to don't sell the blue lights outside of the party lights section.
No normal bulb should run more than 10$
Dimmable needs to be the norm.
And time to swap out old motion sensors that don't work.

To the comment about doing the math for cost savings, your math looks about right, but it's just too much of sticker shock.

My thought is someday well all be using led, but it won't be 2012.

Ps looking at he mods in this sub thread, not being pro cfl/led is worse than being AC at /.

Just try a dimmable cfl, made me want to puke. The tech just isn't there. And if you say sure it is, oh ya the bulbs cost 30$ each, that doesn't work for the 99% (sorry for using the 99% thing)

I've tried CFLs and LEDs, the cheap ones have unacceptable color output. The expensive ounces cost too much. Dimmable motion detection, and outside in winter make good old style bulbs required.

That said, I'm ready to buy better stuff, as soon as it's at mylocal store at a good price. Till then It just won't work.

When I was learning we had a desktop with a removal drive in the front. This allowed ustp to build an OS and have it the same when we returned. A box in the back, locked for only the teacher, allowed other classes to use the PCs each teach had a box of drives per class.

Also, if it applies, a server for every two students. Depending on the lab allowed two students to share the server work and still see it all. The teach should have a server also, so if the lab dosnt have any value on the server side the kids can point at the teach's server.

Also firewall off the lab subnet from the rest of campus. Some student will eventually setup a dhcp server, and for somebody it will be faster than the schools dhcp server.

How exactly was changing their prices outside of their control? Granted they may have needed to in order to stay in businesses, but that is still fully in the companies control.

Lately it's been acceptable to apologize for being caught.

''I want to apologize to my teammates, my coaches and my true fans for allowing the refs to have an opportunity to take me out of this game,'' Suh said

I was going to say ./cgrep but your suggestion is better since it won't be confused with "Context Grep" Which would imply it is NOT Context free.

so is the other command ./hdiff ?

Just had my mod point expire, or I'd have gave you +1.

I guess the survey may be accurate. But I agree, a Professional does not abuse his/her access.

That means don't look, since you will have access to do your job (somebody has to the the admin, and admin by definition has full rights everywhere) Being a professional means you make an effort NOT to read the data when you are troubleshooting an issue on a sensitive document, which happens and is why you have access. I guess the analogy that comes to my mind is a medial doctor, they should be very professional also. I know that IT isn't a life or death as an MD, but the same level of professionalism should be expected. I guess I'm just surprised that so many people in IT are not.

Sue the crap out of them.

That is not legal, nor acceptable. Age should not impact performance in a field like it. Nor hiring.

What if you print the image, then take a picture of it? does that Digital-Analog-Digital loop remove any of the watermarks that the software is looking for?

Yes, why didn't the groupon get priced at a point that is break even? Isn't the point of groupon to generate a ton(not metric ton, but a high volume) of customer traffic?

Or spend too many nights web browsing, i think it was reseaching something in college because it involved a lot of "googling" unknown stuff. Then later in the real world, thinking it would be nice to stick my arm up to the right to "google" something. (up to the right because that's where the search box is in the browser I was using at the time). Of course I was not in front of a PC at all.

I guess I'm old since now most people would reach for their smart phone, and that wouldn't be as crazy as what I wanted to do. Though to my defense, too many all night study/cram sessions and the results are counter productive.

For Super rating on the post, i'll just copy the good HAD comments here, all in one post!

"It’s like a high-powered Segway and a unicycle got it on"

"Looks amazing.
But what a “face plant” under heavy braking."

"20 mph top speed with a 30 mile range?
try a bicycle."

"Monocycle perhaps?"

"It’s a darn good thing the Ryno comes with a Windshield so you can use it in the rain! "

Putty is like the free sample of CLI crack, then you get hooked and need the expensive stuff like SecureCRT.

Usually the first app I loaded on a new blackberry. Basically just worked, not sure why so many here are negative about the app. Now if only google maps would return to showing traffic correctly.

I guess i'm a little confused as to why a basically completed app would be discontinued. Anyone with Google insight care to share the actual thought process behind the decision?

My hope is that the native BB mail app connects to mail the same as the Gmail app, meaning shows read emails correctly and has the contact's working the same.
