I've wondered about this. If the light is always on and you need electricity to not let part of it through then white should in theory waste less power than black. Also setting your backlight lower during the screensaver would help too.
Yeah I've gotten that at the doctors too. Needless to say both things are not how they should work. The mechanic has way more leeway too. He basically has your car, whereas the doctor can't really hold you till you pay.
Garages are far more transparent than doctors. Usually a doctor has no idea how much something will cost and won't give you a WRITTEN estimate. whereas a mechanic will give you an estimate which includes the hourly rate and blue book hours.

a. there's a test you have to pass, increasingly tests are more about limiting membership then insuring core skills. b. You can't own a law firm unless you are a lawyer. So you don't get corprotization of lawyer, you can't get a cheap wall mart lawyer. c. doctors NEVER display prices. They charge insurance companies less then cash paying customers. When was the last time you saw a list of a bunch of surgeries and their prices. d. polititcians have effectively blocked third parties.

a little devil's advocate.
Show me an infant that can survive by itself.
I wouldn't call Hillary pro, unless she doesn't just spit out bullshit, but also actually proposes how she intends to pay for it.
Your mom is sacred.
The stereotypes for thailors are much different than ones for infantry.
Why do you feel that everyone should know about the ASVAB?
gotta love the irony.
in the us we don't use metric and a byte is still 8 bits and not 10.
It doesn't work on any current ipod, and even some older ones.
now, who's being naive?
You do realize this website is hosted by americans in the US.

Tell me why you think slashdot is not a forum.
Here's another one, bang away. Let me know, I wouldn't want you to have any spare mod points.

Says the AC.
no, you said quid(whatever the hell that is) and you merely stated it "seams" pricey. Implying that it is not.
and don't forget, running freenet slows down your computer by using up a bunch of resources.

A coder coding for a company gets paid once not 6 months after the fact.
