Why would you support a complete ban on them? If people want to buy them, what's wrong with that?
It's a complete waste of energy. Better technology already exists, no reason to continue using them.

Another way to look at this is that they did not "cripple future graphics cards" but crippled lazy or incompetent engineers and scientists. Competent and hard working folks will come up with ways to do more by using less energy.

here they already banned incandescent lamps.
I hope that by here you don't mean the EU but your country only. Because I can still buy incandescent lamps where I live...
But I would actually support a complete ban on them.
He probably meant only those above a certain wattage. In my country it is only legal to import/produce/sell those drawing no more than 40W.
But fortunately there is a way around that - light bulbs exceeding 40W (up to and over 100W which cost 30-40 cents) are sold with a label ''not for home use'' (so ''used for heating'' or ''shock-resistant'') and it is not a problem to buy it.

Well, partially. Only some of them, but its a process that will conclude soon.

I'm a conspirator but this time I don't think you to be right.
They should ban fpga too, and here they already banned incandescent lamps.
We can't buy them anymore.
It's like shooting yourself in the foot but we Europeans got used to it.

The reason is of course "saving energy"...
It's my personal "wow"-effect: they try to regulate such unimportant bull**** within 1-2 years, but are not able to regulate the banking system since 2008!?
