green.yahoo.com— In this day and age electronics there's no reason to use a screen saver to prevent burn-in. It's just a waste of electricity and creates additional C02

To begin with, one has to be convinced C02 is a bad thing. My plants love it as do the surrounding trees that provide 02. If you think C02 is a bad thing, why don't you waste your time figuring out how to stop forest fires, volcanoes and termite mounds from expelling the gas. How about turning your computer off so you don't write such idiotic articles. Better yet, why don't you figure out how to stop breathing and contributing C02 that is contaminating our air - you'd make the rest of us that don't concern ourselves with such hype and tripe much happier - plus you'd no longer write such stupid articles to scare the soccer moms and those that are brain dead from the neck up.........
Burn in or not, what gets me is the total creation of fact from nothing. Did the Aussies compare one months power bill to the next for this bit of information. I would bet that, a warm day with one extra air conditioner start uses more energy than the usage of screen savers running 24/7. And that...can be measured. But gee, doesn't it sound like they are doing something, however useless?
Why is it that green people have to use words like "stupid" to make a point? the hostility in the green camp drives me away. it smacks of Jim Carter's idea of wearing a sweater during the winter to conserve heating fuel. your barking up the wrong tree. why not petition Al Gore to sell his mansion and live more modestly. get real.
The world was also supposed to end in the year 2000. Everybody was freeking out because they thought that the computers calendar couldn't reach that number because it would be basicaly re-setting and it's not programed to do that, and then stocks would crash, and comunication would stop (unless you were personaly talking with the person), and then there would be a huge black out, and then all hell after that. California was supposed to fall into the ocean in 2003 (I think). I doubt (sp?????) that this is actuly going to come true. Not that I don't believe in the ancents or anything (in fact I would believe them over any of you new science freeks any day) but this is a compleatly difrent world compaired to the world they were writing in. Jeez, this is like the decade of 'End of the World' stories. And lets not forget that the Mayan's were a tribe of time keepers who praised their god with blood, not a tribe of psychics. Besides if you REALLY read it then you would know that this is just a CHANGE. Sort of like a spirtual awaking for those who have a blind minds' eye. Ok so ONE person in 1997 said that a huge rock would colide with the earth; THAT WAS OVER 11 YEARS AGO AND MADE BY A PERSON WITH NO REAL INSIGHT ON THE WORLD OF TOMARROW!!!!!! After that you have DOZENS of reports that just say that it's a CHANGE, NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!!! It's not a good thing to believe a rumor or just one report, get a bit more background on it to hold up your side.-Love WhiteSun
