the problem is there is no klingon alphabet to add, just several fan made lists claiming to be that
so your advocating adding an act of fanservice to a fictional language by adding something to unicode for which the authors of the fiction themselves haven't even been arsed to make. that's beyond silly, that's like saying the next space shuttle should be shaped like the starship enterprise.
not at all, the point was the article contained meaningless sensationalist rubbish that was aped by the submitter of the article to slashdot. Tell me what purpose does the sentence about a non-existent 500W power consumption and comparison to washing machines perform?
it is rounding error, you are not an engineer. Average continuous power draw per citizen in the USA is over 1.4 KW, and your 35 watts gets divided by 2.6 for per capita consumption
you are funny, the utter BS right before that was:
"Cheryl Williamsen, a Los Alamitos architect, has three of the boxes leased from her cable provider in her home, but she had no idea how much power they consumed until recently, when she saw a rating on the back for as much as 500 watts — about the same as a washing machine."
I did read the article, here is what we're complaining about:
Cheryl Williamsen, a Los Alamitos architect, has three of the boxes leased from her cable provider in her home, but she had no idea how much power they consumed until recently, when she saw a rating on the back for as much as 500 watts — about the same as a washing machine.
which is irrelevant rubbish, that box does not consume 500 watts

your assertion the characters don't exist is provably false. chat software produces them, hundreds of millions of people use them
ok, so we have a character for fuck you, but none for fucking? most of us wouldn't be here but for the fucking.
you've obviously never typed in "bananamobile" in google image search

so 35W cable box draw (if you had one) for the 2 or three people in your 500W / person house seems to be negligible, which was my point

there is no 500 W draw, that's a lie
good idea, they would make excellent machine gun fodder for Columbia's armed forces

most people live with others, average is 2.6 per household, so your single life power draw doesn't mean much.
I wonder, do you waste all that saved energy from efficient lighting running your computer and monitor all night jacking to porn?
sure it is, doesn't matter if one or fifteen watts, won't matter at all compared to all else american household is using, it's a rounding error
and as I've stated elsewhere, the boxes don't pull 500 watts running, not even a third of that
don't worry, the article is false and architect is an idiot who knows nothing about electronics
rating on back is not power draw, you might get close to that during startup. normal draw is less than 140 watts, put it in standby and get 15 watts
I once worked in engineering group that also had couple of architects, we called them "farcitechs" and now you all know why
wrong, they are indeed lazy and stupid because at prior places I've worked the workforce was not full of such
only if its with pepperoni. *drool* I mean, they'd better pay or weirdos will be exposed!
you are funny, most scientists work for corporations. most the rest are funded by those big businesses known as schools.
nonsense, profit being the primary goal is what has driven civilization and progress
you are funny, the lives saved and years added far outweigh the sum of all wars
not relevant, you ISP seeks profit. so did the makers of your computers and so did your phone or cable company
because the sale and use of medical imaging equipment isn't profitable at all. nor is your educational institution.
grow up
or the names of those sick and twisted anchovy lovers will be revealed to the world, and where will they hide their faces then?
