"Energy efficiency experts say the answer lies instead in industry-wide standards, which would require manufacturers to build appliances with low consumption when in standby."
Wouldn't it be nice if the 'Energy experts' spent more time promoting the most obvious source of free power in (and out of) the world; solar power?
Installing just a few solar roof shingles would easily off-set the cost of vampire appliances.

Not only do they generate power for your whole household, they end up paying for themselves when you produce a greater current than you are taking in. The energy is sent back to the power line and the energy company pays you.

Okay this might be offtopic and modded to oblivion, but, while we are requesting things, please tell someone at Alan Landsburg/Viacom/whatever to release the complete box set of 1970s TV series 'In Search Of...' narrated by Leonard Nimoy. I have been looking for this for a while and it doesn't seem to exist on DVD. It used to be on A&E but it was cut, now it doesn't seem to exist except for the new SciFi one.
The the skeptical and intelligent approach to many conspiracies/mysteries/supernatural/urban myths/and the obscure, the hypnotizing moog music, all combined with the narration of noneother than Spock himself makes this a true 70s classic.
"...your Pocket PC, equipped with IBM's Multilingual Automatic Speech-to-Speech Translator. MASTOR recognizes both Mandarin and English, automatically translating what it hears into the other tongue, so two people who speak different languages can have a conversation."
This new critical vulnerability was discovered when it was found that someone turned their computer to 'ON' thereby leaving it vulnerable to crackers, hackers, script kiddies and bots. The fact that a human was operating the PC deemed it especially 'critical.'
"...write down the roots of the quintic in terms of square roots, cube roots, and the Bring radical, which is therefore an algebraic solution in terms of algebraic functions of a single variable..."

Right after you start up your Windows PC and a pop-up box comes up saying "A fatal exception XY has occurred at xxxx:xxxxxxxx," you get an ad for the Quad 2.4GHz Apple G5.
I think this might actually work.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum..

Requiem for Usenet
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
...and villainy, a horrid mob of pre-civilized thugs - slumming through the tenderloin district in pursuit of unspeakable acts.
I must admit I laughed at his description of a sullied usenet:
"Usenet eventually gained a reputation as a refuge for pre-civilized thugs with a penchant for imbecile grammar and vicious talk. The antics of juveniles and troubled people started scaring off others..."
They were all stuck in an arduous meeting trying to determine the pricing of every song for each of these albums:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Soundtrack) - Bee Gees and other Various Artists
The Endless Dream - Yanni & John Tesh
Osmond Family Christmas Album - The Osmonds
Lord of the Dance - Ronan Hardiman & Michael Flatley
All or Nothing - Milli Vanilli
Middle of Nowhere - Hanson

Does this spelling of 'world' bother you as much as it does the spelling nazis?
when they were trying to invade Northern Ireland?
"The switchover will happen first in places like Scotland which are not likely to interfere with the rest of Europe."
Apparently these guys have never heard of Sir William Wallace.

Where are the spelling nazis when you need them?

Sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you (or I) are talking about. It was my pathetic attempt at writing out an algebraic solution.
I quit trying to understand complex math when I got to functions of double integrals in Calculus.

It's really that simple.

Noone will ever criticize your sense of fashion. You are automatically haute coture.
Infringe you will not, technolgy we did have. Stopped you must be, on this all depends.
R2D2 is suing Turner for infringement, he had this technology a long time ago.

you are told what to think, listen to and buy...I'm moving to a shack in the deep woods.
The 'collect wisdom of the masses' is totally overrated. Just look at the latest Billboard charts and people who really enjoyed 'the Macarena.'
