I meant to amend that with...
Other than that, we've been running CFLs exclusively for well over two years now (other than a handful of rarely-used fixtures), and I have had exactly one bulb burn out.
I'm even running a handful of the really old "big plastic enclosure" CFLs with the straight fluorescent bulbs enclosed in the huge plastic-y dome. They take a while to fire up after a couple of decades of use, but they are useful in areas where bulbs are really hard to change because they JUST WON'T DIE.

>>>Maybe you should have tried a different brand then? I have CFLs in almost every fixture in the house.
Which brand?
In my experience ALL the brands (Philips, GE, Lights of America) have a warmup time, unless you buy one that don't have the instant on function. (Instead they sputter and flicker for 2-3 seconds.) I've tried to find the non-instant-on CFLs but they don't seem to be made anymore. Bottom Line: After ~15 years of CFL use I've reached the conclusion they simply are NOT an identical replacement for incandescents. There are too many flaws, like trying to use a netbook when what you really need is a full-sized laptop or desktop.
That man is contradictory just to get a reaction.
No he's not.
i for one don't like the idea of something fragile containing mercury

What's the possibility of being able to read with it?
I saw a TV report on this and it showd him "reading" the word CAT in 4" high black on white letters.
Really quite amazing, but similar in a way to Braille.

Excuse me if I don't shed a tear.
Or I could just write it down on a napkin, and claim to be a Jedi prophet with new information given to me by The Force.
Ah, you'll be a Latter Day Jedi then.
I don't think there's going to be any good stuff...
From TFA,
Jobs: If we moved forward to commercialize it, "I'll just sue you."
Schwartz: And that was the last I heard on the topic. Although we ended up abandoning Looking Glass
As in life, bluster and threat are commonplace in business
It seems unfair to call it "bluster and threat" when the reason that Jobs didn't go through with his promised action was that there was no need to...
This reads like a lot of bull to me.
Mayan calendar is likely out sync anyways and DID WE GET ours right to start anyways? Like did we start on 0 or 1? did we even all start the 0 on time DID we for get about leap years for some time? What did time zones do to the sync? The railroads started the time zone thing.
Unfortunately, the explanations given by the Federal Constitutional Court can be read as an instruction manual on how to create a data retention law 2.0 that will pass the courts muster. Shouldn't take those politicians too long to come up with the new version.
I think that on average quakes tend to increase the roughness of the Earth's surface (large mountain ranges such as the Andes are created by the cumulative effects of quakes). This will increase the radius of gyration of the planet and therefor lengthen the day. However, the increase in roughness is counteracted by erosion.
No, you idiot , element 118 would be in the noble group and not reactive. No sir, not with oxygen.
Radon is also a noble element, but is reactive. Many predictions suggest that 118 would be more reactive, but as only three or four atoms have been detected I wouldn't expect proof any time soon.
It's bad luck to throw words like "idiot" around...
