This is so true. CFLs in my desk lamps that point downward tend to show yellowing near the base where the heat collects. CFLs in lamps that point upwards tend to have a much longer life and not so much of a pronounced yellowing at the white base. Heat does seem to be a big issue with these bulbs.

This is almost a slap in the face to the consumer. If Time Warner is anything like Charter Cable - it's no wonder people don't pay for the highest tier..... $200 installation/activation fee then $130/mo for 100mbps down. On top of that, in the last few months months the only other tier 30mbps has increased in cost from $30/mo to $50/mo. Last month we got a letter in the mail from Charter saying: "We're increasing your bill another $5/mo, thanks for being a customer!" I'd have Verizon FIOS if I could.

Wow talk about a completely bias comment that has nothing to do with the article. Great time to spout anti-american propaganda. Sadly, I think most people would disagree on your assessment that just because we require people to be licensed to drive motor vehicles that we're not the land of the free. That logic is kinda flawed to say the least. The Iranian Government is receiving sanctions for threatening parts of the world with destruction. We don't allow that this day and age. When gasoline/oil is so freaking cheap in Iran, there's no point in them building nuclear reactors... That's why the WORLD (not just USA, awwwww wanted to bash USA more? awwwww.....) is sanctioning Iran. They're threatening to wipe Israel off the face of this planet with any means of destruction they can get their hands on. Their own government shot and killed protesters openly in the streets. Remember the green movement? Yeah, it sucks that the Iranian people have to suffer like this... and I'm surprised that Iran even allows WoW through their national ISP that blocks pretty much everything else.... But your Anti USA comments have very little to do with the article and your bias'ness against the USA is pretty apparent. Let me guess, you live in the USA because you hate the country so much. .

In my college history class my professor said the same thing: The nukes were to scare Russia. We didn't need them because the firebombings in tokyo were almost twice as deadly.
