I agree with you about world dire, that's why, for example, I heat my home, I cook, I heat my hot water with wood since 1977. Biomass / wood is neutral for global warming. I didnt wait Kyoto and Doha..... :-) Otherwise the best energy is the energy that is not consumed => good heat insulation, if possible but very important, consumption of local products/food, etc... > > the screen is black. there is no content. the logical thing is to turn it off. > it's just power drain at this point. > I use an inverter which consumes continuously power. A PSU never stops consuming too. I think dpms may save screen life, perhaps, I'm not sure. The notices diverge on the question. Greetings -- Maderios "Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures."
