I found this on Google (Blackle):

“You know how Blackle is suppose to save energy?

Not so, per the following comment left on my original Blackle post:

” If you use LCD monitor, you’ll end up wasting more energy by using Blackle. Not to mention that you’ll stress your eyes and suffer from eye problems. Blackle will save energy only for CRT displays (which . On an LCD monitor, it will waste more energy than normal Google.

Almost all the modern monitors are LCD monitors, as CRT monitors are obsolete. The so-called “Save Energy” seems to be a ploy by Blackle to attract more traffic to their site, as they earn money for every search made on their site”

I like how it looks, but I don't really get how it would save energy, although I suppose generation of light for the "brighter" screen might make sense.

I'm all for saving energy, conserving resources, caring for the environment, etc., but I have to say that the envirwhackos in all their zealous, obnoxiousness have been such a turn off that I think they have actually accomnplished the opposite of their intent.

I never knew you worked at Hooters! That wig wasn't doing a thing or you, anyway.

Warning! "Mature" (ahem) content.

The new bunny has a name. I’m calling her Scheiße.

If she stops using my bed as a latrine we can discuss a new name...

Not a good thing. You might discuss “bunny slippers.

Of course, with only one bunny, I'd have to hop...

Did the ß show up in Scheiße, or am I going to have to Anglicize it with a ss?

Scheiße. Scheisse, same diff...

I just read this article on FoxNews regarding the apparent support for Juan Carlos' comments in Spain and further clarifys what he said.

Spanish Government: King Was Right to Tell Chavez to 'Shut Up'
Monday , November 12, 2007

MADRID, Spain — Spain's king was right to tell Hugo Chavez to "shut up" at a summit because the Venezuelan president had insulted Spain's former prime minister, the governing party said Monday.

Spain wants good relations with Latin American countries but will not tolerate a lack of respect for its citizens, in this case a prominent one like former Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, said Diego Lopez Garrido, spokesman in Parliament for the Socialist Party.

"This is a fundamental, democratic principle, one that governs relations between countries," Lopez Garrido told a news conference.

The spat arose Saturday at an Ibero-American summit in Santiago, Chile, when Chavez accused Aznar of backing a 2002 coup that briefly removed Chavez from power. Chavez repeatedly called Aznar a "fascist" in an address at the summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

Spain's current prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, asked Chavez to be more diplomatic and show respect for other leaders despite political differences. "President Hugo Chavez, I think there is an essential principle to dialogue, and that is, to respect and be respected, we should be careful not to fall into insults," Zapatero said.

Chavez continued to interrupt as Zapatero spoke, although his microphone was off.

A frustrated King Juan Carlos, seated next to Zapatero, leaned toward Chavez and loudly asked, "Por que no te callas?" — or "Why don't you shut up?" The monarch then left the chamber.

Aznar later called to thank Zapatero for defending him, Lopez Garrido said.

Chavez fueled the dispute further on Sunday by suggesting the king knew in advance of the 2002 coup. Spanish royal palace officials were not available for comment Monday.

During the two-day coup in April 2002, Aznar called interim president Pedro Carmona, and the Spanish ambassador to Venezuela met with Carmona. Chavez was restored to power after massive street protests.

Aznar later told the Spanish Parliament he had discussed with Carmona arrangements for Chavez to go to Cuba. Aznar's party has insisted, however, that the conservative government then in power did not back the coup.

But Spain's current Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos charged in December 2004 that Aznar had in fact given the putsch his diplomatic blessing. Moratinos cited diplomatic cables from the period and other government documents.

The dark screen is fine but I don’t see it replacing the white background. If for no other reason than for the clever and colorful graphics Google does with their logo on holidays, anniversaries, etc. Yesterday they hung helmets on the double Os and(IIRC)on the l, also.

Odd. If you spell check the ß disappears, even if you put it in after spell check.

I agree with you, see my post #642. The guy who sent it to me is an econut so he would never check anything that agreed with his predisposition.

We are all like that are n´t we? :)

Yes, I saw how Chavez was interrupting Zapertero and I am sure King Carlos was annoyed as everyone at the display of bad manners.

Ditto, sweet. Growing up in a rural area, as we did, I think you develop a healthy, balanced appreciation and respect for conserving and preserving resources early in life. Its a necessity, actually, and I try to remain mindful of those early lessons.

I've a couple of long time, good friends who are big time greenies, have been for years. I adore them even though they're also Dems, plus the husband heads up a large enviro organization. So, I've had to delicately tip-toe around/avoid some issues whenever I see them. However, this past weekend I heard from an old fiancé b'friend, college days, that I hadn't heard from in a while and to my great disappointment he has become an ardent greenie, too. Sigh! What a pity... he has always been one of my favorite, most fascinating, past loves.

Chavez is a thug, vulgar and crude, who seems to not have a clue that were it not for oil he would be utterly ignored by the rest of the world.
