If the damn bulb (and thus, the technology behind it) was so damn good, I'd buy it. Given the outrageous price, lack of dimming (entire house is Lutron equipped with Maestro and Grafik dimmers), and off-colors across manufacturers,etc., I'll gladly keep using my secret stash of 100w, 120w, BR30s and 40s. I'm good for at least 10 years.

Massive oversimplification of the work done by Rejewski, Zygalski, and Rozycki as well as the reason the work was shifted to Bletchley. A little something called 'the invasion of Poland,' perhaps?

Also, the material provided by German Hans-Thilo Schmidt was critical to the initial break.

All of us old farts did your mom in the basement computer lab behind the VAX 11/750 on top of the HP1000. Or was it the Honeywell Bull? Whatever, she was a freak.

I doubt we'll see the editors report this rebuttal from one of the co-authors and a leading member of his "team"...

Too true. Jobs/Apple became exactly what they supposedly fought against. 1984 commercial? Yeah, look at what their locked ipod/iphone/ipad has become. Whining about Android? nothing here to see....

Green energy == flying cars

I want both of them. Not expecting either. Would prefer the government quit burning through cash and let the market decide. The "logic" of the remainder of your post is not Mensa material....

Yeah, right about the time I cancelled my sub. Haven't missed it a bit.

Delicious gem - you get a +1 friend for that one, geek!
