How often do you turn your PC off? V.2!

Iam shocked how many people leave their PC's on 24/7...anyway if they are going to be on doing nothing you had might aswel make them do something productive!

Folding@Home will use you CPU's spare power to do medical research and sent the results back for analysis.

again?

before i go to bed.

To all those people who leave their PC on, please consider the environment. If ur not using it, or downloading anything, why leave it on.....FelipeInside

That is causing global warming.....

If each of us made a little contribution (turning off PCs when not in use), I believe it would help

I turn it off always I stopt to using it. I just leave it on if I am downloading something or scanning it.Zantozzzz

I didn't know my pc released harmfull co2 emissions :oPwningStick

Sigh... That absolutely doesn't matter...

Let's say everybody is using some average amount of power. Wind Turbines and solar plants are built to sustain that average amount of power. If the population suddenly starts leaving on their computers 24/7 then those Turbines and Solar plants can no longer sustain the populations consumption needs.

Don't worry!!! You won't have to bend over to press that button again! Power companies will start burning fossil fuels as a temporary solution to the growing power need, which is quicker and cheaper then constructing another Turbine.

If you want a nuclear power plant in your neighborhood then go ahead (Chernobyl from CoD4).

While we're discussing electricity, it's not more energy efficient to leave lights on when you leave the room (turning on a light equates to about 1/3 of a second run time). So turn off your lights if you're not comming back for awhile.

Mines off if I'm not using it, but during the winter I sometimes leave it on just to help keep the room warm.crazymonkey092

[QUOTE="ignivim"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] No, but maybe the power plant where the PC gets the electricity....maybe....???Swiftstrike5
