Fred, here’s the scam in “global warming/climate change”... The climate change alarmists want the US to enter into an agreement to cut back CO2 emissions to some incredibly low level, which will cost billions and billions of dollars to realize, if it’s even possible at all. Carbon credits will be bought and sold on the CO2 market as part of…

I bought a 1TB hard drive on Black Friday for $199. They can readily be had now for around $299. What in the world could possibly justify a nearly $1000 markup on a hard drive? Man…seeing this takes me one step closer to ending my 14 year relationship with DiirecTV in favor of Tivo HD and FIOS. First they dump…

On a side note, global warming isn’t a scam as far as the temperature HAS increased very slowly over the past couple of years. The question is whether humans are causing this or if it is part of a natural cycle. There really is no way to answer this, because we only started taking accurate temperature measurements around the start…

> Electricity is cheap and global warming is a scam > for redistribution of wealth and control over our > lives. Considering the war in Iraq is about oil, energy in general is not cheap - unless you consider the lost lives to be of little value. Global warming denial is a scam for redistribution of wealth to big oil…

Unless you need to run an air-conditioner to keep your home cool, then this is pointless: the energy used by these appliances is not ‘wasted’ it warms up your house for you, cutting down on your other heating bills, watt for watt. This is little more than an advert for this expensive little device - if you want to know…

Interesting.  I’ll still keep my convenience.  It’s well worth the extra 75 cents a year. Electricity is cheap and global warming is a scam for redistribution of wealth and control over our lives.

Well, you need to decide what’s more important to you.  Using the tiny amount of power that most electronics use to be on standby to receive commands from a remote control or turn on with a timer.  Or saving a tiny amount of money and have nothing that can be activated automatically or by remote control or signal and just…

lol… wow i better go out and spend way more on cable… wait….im puzzled….my sound is excellent and my picture quality is great as well.  i should have spent all my money on cable instead of room treatments. I am almost positive that my 12 gauge in wall speaker cable is only 99.98% copper.  I almost puked reading this article!!!

Blu-ray has is better than HD-DVD except for one area:  Region coding.  Sony again demonstrates disdain for the end user.  I watch a wide range of films from Asia that are not available a Region 1 DVDs.  So I have a region-free player.  The only reason I am considering HD over Blu-ray is the continued stupidity of region coding on…

How much power do these idling devices use as a percent of total electrical energy consumed? Cable boxes are notorious for drawing an absurd amount of power whether “on” or “off.” Theres room for improvement there. But the vast majority of components use less than a few watts when idling, and only to keep the power supply topped off and…
