Well sunlight is around 1kW per square meter energy density, so it doesn't surprise me in the least that this takes .3kW to simulate sunlight.

You mock and make fun of me, but my ideas are firmly based in scientific evidence. And you never answered my question: why do you think mammal based life is worth more than plant based life? http://www.pri.org/stories/2

And an OS can be made to do things that you may not want it to do. If I write it in firmware, and write it for that function, you just can't "hack" it, as the functions just don't exist. Well, unless they plan on a verif
