I'm sure that applies, except "lights without replaceable bulbs are less environmentally friendly" which seems nothing more than wishful thinking. preferrably soldered on a big metal part An obvious solution to which would

All that is likely to achieve is either very expensive replacements, instead of commodity priced bulbs, as they can be manufacturer specific. Or entirely sealed units making the entire lamp or fitting disposable. The market and lamp designe

In what world does that rate a firing? Looks like it should rate at most "don't be grouchy on twitter" from a manager. Firing someone with 12 year seniority for defending them? Now that rates a firing - of the manager. A quic

Those with older external monitors might take issue with that. I could replace my old monitors, but they still work well with good colour and brightness, so it's not exactly environmentally considerate, or even slightly necessary. Ad

It had some really surprising, and quite common, uses in the war through to 70's era. Fabrics, cigarette filters, paints, fillers as it was so cheap. Heat retardant and insulation were the headline uses.

I sometimes feel I am in a minority of one these days. Just about every car I've owned, I develop a muscle memory of where all the important switches are, and how far to turn to "hot enough" or "cool enough" etc. Sa

Wasn't it Steve Keen (Australian economist) who wanted the cheque to go to debt forgiveness before cash and for that to get the funds that ultimately went into QE? I'm hazy on the details now but I think the idea was it would both

iOS does but is very subtle about the change. f.lux default settings are quite dramatic and turn the screen very red. Something in between seems right to me. One day the weather app will get the outside colour temperature locally and match

Quite. If you're in a sub or control room you don't need night vision. If you're in a situation of needing both colour appropriately. In a plane keeping priority on what's outside is needed - if you're flying visual

Oh I agree with you about the article. Even with cars she shows an example from BMW that rather spoils his point - that's BMW since they adopted lighting as decoration like everyone else, white with some red highlights. My old BM 5 ser

The notable thing about your links is the complete lack of the world. You don't need to preserve night vision stuck in a sealed metal box without windows. Pilots, drivers and people walking around do.

You do seem to be missing the point that history shows that people do not migrate in large numbers, outside of war, famine and other natural disasters. Even with open borders Chinese would not migrate at that rate when they are in a very di

Talk of metasearch engines and not mention Dogpile? They have been going since '95 and they're still there. Doubt they get much traffic these days.

It's still just 0.5% a year. If Chinese emigrated at the same rate it would be 7m a year. Well within the scope of other countries to manage. After the war the whole British Empire had the right to live and work in the UK - all 1bn of

No idea why they never caught on. I haven't seen a desktop keyboard with one for ages. Lenovo used to do one but now all they do is the actual laptop keyboard in a desk case and that's it. I got an IBM one years ago when I bought
