Did u leave ur computer on for overnight regularly?
Well..
I don't know how much ppl is doing tis out thr
but from wat i knw is
almost every gamer & downloader
i wan to say only lar
don't angry bcos it's realityu r a big global-warmer :Du think wif switch off ur light for extra only 1 hour per year
while u still turning on ur pc for almost every minute
can reduce global warming?
can save the ozone layer?
it's the problem of the thinking of:
1) aiya.. computer won't eat much electricity de la
2) i got cooler, fan & air-con wat.. scare wat heat
3) the computer won't easily get spoiled de la.. even if it is i can cheaply get another 1
wonderful thinking :)
here is a passage adapted from
http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/130078"Admittedly I don't think much about it at all. I leave my laptop running overnight because I know it'll take five minutes or more to get things going in the morning -- not just booting up, but launching the various apps I start the day with, downloading my overnight email, filtering out the spam, and otherwise "getting settled."
But all the power wasted while computers are sitting idle overnight adds up, and one study has finally tried to measure it. The tally: An estimated $2.8 billion wasted on excess energy costs each year in the U.S. alone.
On a CO2 basis, that's 20 million tons of carbon dioxide, about the amount produced by 4 million cars on the road.
But big numbers like that become almost meaningless in an era of trillion-dollar bailouts, so to put the wasted energy in perspective, the study provides the data in terms you can better understand: If you run a company with 1,000 PCs left on overnight, you can save about $28,000 a year if they are turned off after hours. That's not chump change.
Of course, it's also a fact that your PC will function better if you restart it regularly, and nightly shutdowns can help you avoid having to suddenly reboot in the middle of the day when you'd otherwise be productive. So even though this little laptop, by my math, eats up only about a quarter's worth of power overnight, maybe it's a smart idea -- and ultimately a time-saver, too -- to shut it down after hours after all."
Of course
the report is in US alone
imagine it's worldwide problem
its damage to our earth is bcoming tangible
to dlers
don't dl too much by urself la
arrange some among frens to dl n get from him/her lo
to gamers
don't bot overnite la
don't set up stall overnite la
u might earn quite a lot of real money & self-esteem from the game
but wat is the cost for it?
is tat really worth?
to those who don't want to be bother to boot ur pc during days
ask for computer geeks (those who r good in tuning & utilize computers)
to help u utilize ur computer
so tat it may boot faster & have less start-up applications
or
u can learn it by urself
update ur own computer knowledge
it's not tat hard actually =/
