I seem to have been misread...
I was aware of the power drain when the computer is simply shut down (damn that cmos battery and motherboard light...)
The power supply switch I was referring to was the one actually ON the power supply, not the one hooked through the motherboard.
Or was I understood right, and does it STILL draw power when the master switch is off?...
"Look at the other posts. Not so tough now, are ya, bub?" Indeed. Just trying to put the idea out there, see if there's any information/discussion on it. I guess it was a bit adolescent american of me..."what, me worry?" But at least now I know about "cytokine storms" and whatnot:)
Am I the only one, having a somewhat strong immune system, that is not in the least bit worried about a pandemic?
On a side note: Cue the tinfoil wearers saying that the possible pandemic is a vast right-wing conspiracy (tm)(c) to convince people that evolution and survival of the fittest is BAD. Think of the millions of children (possibly) dying!
How about "Kansas Board of Ed. Allows Alternate Views" They're not exactly advocating intelligent design, just saying that those theories are out there and evolution (a THEORY) MAY not be completely true.
Personally, I believe that the Board was indeed touched by His Noodly Appendage...
You know you're not new to/. anymore when you assume that the ' is an editor's mistake and the story (which you DFR) is about economists taking on that evil communist open source community.
If you really want to, you can still use KDE, right?
This seems like a change that would mainly affect newbies, from a company with a network OS that a newbie can easily use.
I welcome our Novell overlords that make things simple, if lacking in choice.
Tinfoil hat response: We didn't land there...it was Hollywood. More Likely: First, the US doesn't "own" the moon. We just thought the flag would be pretty, and is a good first measure of an outer space pissing match. Realistically, whoever is up there will pretty much be in control of what goes on. Or whoever sends those people supplies.

What category does Nokia go in now that they have a open source site? Are they formerly evil turned good, like IBM? (wait...do we like ibm this week?) Or are they the antichrist, posing as good?

Probably, but they more than make it up with game licensing/royalties. Just like inkjet printers...cheap as hell, but ink is worth gold to sellers.

Do I smell the need for a review of an in-between appliance and wall power meter? What are some good ones that you've seen/used?
As we are all gentlemen here, I will take it on your word that your yes is a yes and your OFF is....almost off?
But seriously, let off be off.
At least with a computer, you can flip the power supply and have it *off* off...right?
Who are these idiots who actually PAY for achey breaky heart?
I have a bridge to the future to sell them...
What's that you say?

Oh, sorry, I use Gmail Notifier on Firefox.
It defaults to https, can be set to crappy old http.
Nice stuff

Carter: We have just received a threat on the planet. We ask if you please exit as soon as possible and please do not panic.
Carter: Did you hear what I just said? Get your shit and go out the door!!

This vulnerability is a dupe!
Windows has already had an image handling flaw!
Oh, it's Windows. False alarm.
First PostgreSQL 8.1 supported post!
I, for one, use file-sharing software EXCLUSIVELY for Linux Distros and public domain E-Books...Yeah, right.

the DOD then comes into the room, pushes the user aside and scrolls through their browser history.
Unless, as we've seen in previous stories, you're running Firefox.
Then you get detained in who-knows-whereistan.

The Canadians need at least SOME news, eh?
Maybe with this they'll finally find the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Silly editors...by the time the light from the end of the universe gets here, Earth will have been destroyed by the Vogons.
Oh, and when it happens, let me be the first to say:
DUPE!
The OSS browser supports DRM, oh noes!
