I just installed 8 Cree LR6 LED lights in our living room. These fit standard 6 inch cans, but they have some that fit 4" cans I believe.
I would say that the light is basically indistinguishable from incandescent lights and they use about 1/6 the power for the same light.
Highly recommended.
Submission + - Good co-lo or virtual server shops?
gclef writes: Speakeasy announced recently that they're being bought by BestBuy. Despite all the promises to the contrary, I suspect my ability to host servers in my home is going away soon. Does anyone in the Slashdot crowd have hints as to where I get reasonable co-lo space or reasonable virtual hosting? I don't want to outsource the management of my domains entirely, nor will 'webhosting' be good enough...I like having control of my own stuff (and like running my own DNS, IMAPS, etc servers). I just want somewhere that will give me a blank box with an unfiltered connection to the net. Anyone have good/bad experiences with the various places doing this?
Submission + - IP Address Management
haggisbrain writes: I'm a Systems Administrator and I've recently started work with a new company where I'm now helping to support a much larger number of nodes that I've previously supported. We have just over 1000 nodes to support but no efficient method to manage the IP addresses and subnets used. Previously an Excel Spreadsheet has been sufficient enough for my needs but now I need to find a new way.
Can someone recommend a piece of software which can help me? Primarily I'm looking for a simple way to list and view the IP addresses used on my network but surely there must be a better solution than using another Excel Spreadsheet?

Submission + - Firewall Recommendations
anomalous cohort writes: "The company that I work for is looking at upgrading to a proper firewall (sadly, we use only the MS-ISA server now). Our I.T. guy is ready to recommend Fortigate [45]00a. Ours is a small company with about a dozen employees and about 400 customers. Does anybody have any experiences, good or bad, with these two products or with the Fortinet company? Are there any recommended firewalls (outside of Cisco's) that we should seriously look at?"
Submission + - Regrowing lost body parts coming in the future
[TheBORG] writes: "There are two stories on Yahoo! News about regrowing lost body parts. One is about regrowing lost fingers & limbs and the other one is about regrowing teeth. The story about regrowing lost fingers and limbs talks about the experimental use of powdered pig bladder to regrow fingers and eventually lost limbs for soldiers and others in need from information that Pentagon-funded scientists hopefully learn from studying the salamander. The story about regrowing teeth talks about how Japanese scientists used primitive cells (not quite as early as stem cells) and injected them into a framework of collagen (the material that holds the body together). Once grown to a certain point, scientists implanted the growths into mice where the teeth developed normally."
Journal Journal: For a Media PC - Knoppmyth or Vista Home Premium?
I home today, courtesy of President's 1 and 16, and so have a little more time to think about the next step in my newly transplanted PC, which is now parked in an Antec media case under the HD plasma tv. I would like to have more control over recording tv shows than is allowed through the cable TV's DVR, so I am faced with a choice.
