Oh man! Someone mod this guy up!
if only for brand name recognition its an invaluable advertising tool
Ubiquitous brand recognition is only useful if people don't think the brand stinks. I remember a well-known brand back in the 80s called the "Yugo".
That's not how the loan industry works. The originating bank (or another bank) has a contract to "service" the loan owned by Sallie Mae, i.e. collect the checks every month and twist your arm if you stop paying.
The college loan industry works the same way. Your Alma Mater has a contract to service the loan. And don't expect this to get any better now that the federal government makes the loans directly rather than through a bank. They have much more effective ways to twist a university's arm than the private banks did.
I think the primay advantages are supposed to be color temperature (2700K so very similar to the light from an incandescent) and lifespan. It's also dimmable which is still quite a big issue with CFL bulbs.
All in all, it's fairly expensive but does address what are probably the three biggest complaints about CFLs for use in the home.
Please... $16.99 buys you three, dimmable, 2700k, 24W, 100W equivalent CFL bulbs. So I'm going to spend an extra $30 per bulb to save one watt?
It's not a ball. Balls are round.
You might be right. But we could go a long way in the US by finding a way to eliminate Gerrymandering which would at least have the effect of allowing moderates a voice in the discussion.
Tell that to the Syrian people.
I wish I had some mod points for you.
how can per click payment be possible? If they knew it required payment, they would have known to filter it.
Using the word "particle" indicates a particular set of characteristics familiar to physicists. Frankly, most of the short-lived particles that high-energy Physicists work with are really just states with certain characteristics. Guess what? In quantum theory what most people would call "actual particles" are "just states." It's turtles all the way down.
Did they publish the questions and answers? Because that's where one hears the stuff that's relevant to one's own research.
They didn't. MACROMEDIA did. And then Adobe swallowed Macromedia and turned flash into bloatware.

Linux guys like talking about LDAP because it's available as open source, not because they don't know that Active Directory uses Kerberos. I'm hardly an expert in authentication services and I know that. Tell your MSCE to set up an OpenLDAP server that authenticates against your AD server and see what the response is!
The problem I found with hiring Windows admins is that there are thousands people jumping through the hoops at so-called technical schools to get their MSCE who simply don't understand what's is going on in the system. They pass the tests, but they can't solve problems. They just don't have the "knack," as Dilbert puts it.
People often get into Linux because they are fascinated by computers and want to understand how computers and networks work on a deep level. Once you have that kind of knowledge, picking up another OS isn't very challenging.
Of course, as Linux has grown in popularity, we're starting to see the same problem!
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
