    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    A LED directs 100% of it's light out without wasting light being shadowed. The result in my real time application is the LED's appear substantially brighter then their rating, and the MFL appear less bright then their rating. I'm enjoying the LED's and the fact that they are instant on without...

    Appl is really owned by MSFT now. Part of the sealed agreement is that MSFT must finance Appl to stay out of another conviction and fining by the DOJ. The real give away was right after the case ended, MSFT stock tanked. Appl was driven down to pennies. Then MSFT money jacked Appl up to it's...

    Sous Vide requires prolonged constant heat at the desired finished cooking temperature. I hope you used 98.6 Fahrenheit for the cooking temperature.

    Best CPU Benchmarks?

    Blu-ray playback I am preparing for the HTPC dying. It is both a HTPC and an office machine. Blu-ray playback is the most stressful activity it does. It also has to sync this through an Xplosion sound card. In the Low powered computer thread Stereodude says, "Personally, I use my HTPC for...

    Hi DD Are you still on the heavy bike? Probably time to get a light racing bike, with sealed hubs, since you like riding in the rain, and try and find a set of tires that are a compromise between speed and durability.

    Best CPU Benchmarks?

    Thanks Handurin. Next time I buy server quality machines processors et cetera, that is an excellent reference. No I guess is the other answer. Comparison becomes particularly problematic when you are comparing a variety of processor families produced at different time periods, or at the same...

    I'm trying to establish a baseline of what components are likely to function quickly enough to fulfill office functions and video playback. Blu-ray does tax some low end systems. Define the floor of Blu-ray playback for CPUs and GPUs. At least 27" screen, 1080P. The point of a benchmark is so...

    Precisely what I use a benchmark for. For instance do you have a benchmark that quantifies the difference between a i7 920 and an i7 3930K? I can't run out and buy a 3930K to see if I notice the difference video encoding. I am trying to determine: 1. The fastest. 2. The best bang/buck...

    For me it is an ongoing battle to understand the different slang used in this area. It is generational, racial, class defined, and area specific. It goes so far as each sport has it's own 'in' type language, and slang. My work takes me from the very rich sports, volleyball-lacrosse to the...

    Why is that frustrating? Slang is often the basis for language change. I view it as a pretty high evolution of language use when you take terms understand their meanings, and use them with a subtle twist on the subject matter. There are other 'sciences' that take common English terms and give...

    My current HTPC is around 1000 on Passmark. I'm looking for something that at least doubles that. I'm not sure if keeping either case is a good idea. The 160 seems to have questionable buttons. Fairly simple design without much real cooling design. The server case is around 40 pounds. It was...

    The odd part about this Delta Wing is it's been done before, of sorts, as a result of the CanAm spinoff 917-30 etc. That, and the car looks a LOT like a landspeed record car. That said, the real problem with todays' cars is weight. I envisioned long ago that cars would all be under 3000...

    "Also, the added bonus of reclaiming some of the energy lost as heat through the use of a turbo might help a little." Ah, no. The problem with turbos is how to get rid of the heat. To reach maximum results from each bang, you have to cram as much fuel and air as possible into the cylinder...

    The driving force in engine design for F1, and this kind of car, the wing, is aerodynamics. Flat 12's were designed because they created a better wind signature then a similar V 12. In this case the height of the 4 works to the advantage of the car in creating a wing effect, and in narrowing the...
