Tom Capasso Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Jeremy - well done 1 moderator attempting to rein in the discussion. 1 bad joke (usually me, but others contribute) 15 posts by people living outside the US about the difference in terminology "over there" (wherever "there" is - Finland, UK, Australia, etc.). Some of these posts will include statements about how lucky we are in the US to have light bulbs (or "lamps" as they call them), or get them so inexpensively. They will use a word like "lorry" and none of the US posters will bother to ask what it means. Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

Whacked Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Before the invention of the light bulb, illuminating the world after the sun went down was a messy, arduous, hazardous task. It took a bunch of candles or torches to fully light up a good-sized room, and oil lamps, while fairly effective, tended to leave a residue of soot on anything in their general vicinity. When the science of electricity really got going in the mid 1800s, inventors everywhere were clamoring to devise a practical, affordable electrical home lighting device. Englishman Sir Joseph Swan and American Thomas Edison both got it right around the same time (in 1878 and 1879, respectively), and within 25 years, millions of people around the world had installed electrical lighting in their homes. The easy-to-use technology was such an improvement over the old ways that the world never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whacked Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 It's certainly true that Edison did invent the light bulb (or at least "a" light bulb), but he wasn't the first. In 1860, an English physicist and electrician, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, produced his first experimental light bulb using carbonized paper as a filament. Unfortunately, Swan didn't have a strong enough vacuum or sufficiently powerful batteries and his prototype didn't achieve complete incandescence, so he turned his attentions to other pursuits. Fifteen years later, in 1875, Swan returned to consider the problem of the light bulb and, with the aid of a better vacuum and a carbonized thread as a filament (the same material Edison eventually decided upon), he successfully demonstrated a true incandescent bulb in 1878 (a year earlier than Edison). Furthermore, in 1880, Swan gave the world's first large-scale public exhibition of electric lamps at Newcastle, England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getz out Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Well, obviously an unsolicited advertisement for the soundclick site. So, here is some unsolicited, yet honest, feedback on the material. How many long, protracted, uninteresting introductions can 10 songs on soundclick contain? I did the research. It is 10. After the long, protracted, uninteresting introductions, you are rewarded with a warmed over versioon of Gregg Allman on vocals and ever-so-off backing vocals. The lyrics are juvenile to the point that they are so childish they are not offensive. The guitar licks are so cliche it makes me wonder if these are actually original songs or if this is a cover band of B-side Southern Rock tunes. Based on the above, I'm sure we'll see them on Warner this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
