    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    I know. That's what happens when the fridge light socket is the same size as the sockets on the ceiling fans, I'm sure. I'm sure one day it will burn out; and on that day I'll probably forget and replace it with the same thing that came out. :cheers:

    Stock piling your fridge with vegetables you might eat two weeks from now is not as high a standard of living as buying enough veggies to eat in a couple of days. Just saying.

    Who leaves the door open for that long?! I feel like I'm losing chill if its open for longer than 5-10 seconds. 30 seconds maybe but a full minute is ridiculous.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    I used to have an 11 cu-ft fridge and when I got roommates I swapped out for a 22-24 cu-ft. Now I have one less roommate and an 18 cu-ft with a 60 W light bulb. I don't think in my life I've even changed the bulb in a fridge. I shop for groceries once a week with a second weekly run for more...

    Watercooling

    http://www.koolance.com/technical/cooling101/002.html One thing you could do to enhance the cooling is to make use of the energy transferred during evaporation and mist the radiator with water or maybe alcohol. That would likely get the radiator below ambient temperature. IIRC.

    Watercooling

    The primary objective is to transfer the heat energy away from the source as quickly as possible. That means keeping the temperature differential as large as possible for any given point in time. If you have proof that contradicts these fundamentals of physics you could be famous.you should...

    Watercooling

    Water does absorb heat energy instantly. It just takes a lot of energy to heat water to a measurable degree. Unless its tired...then its nearly impossible to get water excited. The goal isn't to heat water. The goal is to draw heat away from a source with water. The larger the temperature...

    Opinions on Google Chrome? APPS?

    Import. If one is transitioning from Word to Gdocs one might want to import historical data. But Gdocs doesn't import the formatting very well. Particularly the kind of formatting you might find on a resume.

    Opinions on Google Chrome? APPS?

    I use "documents" but only for super simple stuff like lists. It was not worth the trouble to try to share my resume with a friend after converting from O2003. Totally screwed up the formatting. I use "spreadsheets" for much more complicated stuff but I've originated them in Gdocs.

    When did you give up training?

    I started running again again a couple of weeks ago. About 3 miles a day and 5 on Saturday on the trails. Feels pretty good. I have some events I'm planning to enter later in the year. ie, I may slow down but I haven't given up yet.

    I liked Foxit, it was just the update screen that caused me to switch. Merc, I turn off those automatic update features and install updates on my own schedule on servers. On my own machine it also seemed to want to install the same bits over and over. Time, thanks for the in depth review...

    You do not need a stylus to draw; so I'm not sure we were supposed to take that argument seriously. :) All the iPhone would need to enable handwriting recognition today is the software; this is not an inherent limitation in the screen technology.

    More to the question, I don't know of a new laptop with one. That company should expect to keep losing customers to other vendors who understand that technology progresses. Than again, maybe you can provide support to all of those you need it. :D

    I would agree that something prepared fresh is better than something pre-prepared. I'm also fine with frozen veggies. Apparently the flash freezing process keeps the nutrients in even if you do lose some flavor.

    Increasing income while keeping the costs of food static would produce that statistic as well but I don't think that's the case. People eat out more now than they did then which would tend to drive up the percentage of spending on food. Regardless, that statistic (eating in/out) was in the...

    One stat that I found interesting was the difference in spending on food as a percentage of disposable income in the 1930s and 1990s. 9.9% in 2005 vs more than 25% in 1933. I find it difficult under my current budget structure to afford better quality foods. But that could mean that my current...
