    mods in a lot of cases are nutcases. there was no whoosh to make fun of. but each to their own i guess

    switch to xfce, or don't use a wm at all. at least you have the choice. you can selectively update too.

    lol "s/not"... yeah i'm tired

    i'm pretty sure black uses more energy in lcds than white, because the power is used to mask light, not generate it, so a completely white screen might save more power in modern screens than black, though i don't know about more modern technologies like tft. new led screens are probably also opposite, so any power-saving web page would have to detect the type of screen (lcd or led)

    TEDDS (by CSC) is a dog of an add-on to Word, but I think it would be less so in Libre (its also Word version-specific, which is a pain, but I guess they have to make money somehow)

    either that or they were stupid enough to think he was referring to "offices" as in real ones that people "get into"... maybe offices with people using LaTeX have awkward shaped doors

    download netinstall image of favorite linux distro (debian squeeze stable for me), install onto old junked pyewta obtained for free from work/friend/family, plug into telly (most lcds have vga) and a decent sound system and you're done. no need for new internet telly or pvr.
    works for me anyway
