Read more.Today's watercooler chat, if Slashdot is anything to go by, should be about how black web pages can save power. Some reckon that taking the world's most popular sites and painting them black will save megawatts of energy... so we're going to do our bit!
LOL
Nice beta site - it's refreshingly simple, easy on the eye.
Oh btw Steve - 1 TLA - LOL

Nooo, don't spoil the 'easter egg'
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
I've removed the spoiler
I can see you
It mentions that you would only really save power on CRT screens, but what about when OLED screens arrive - does anyone know if it would save power with those in years to come?
OLED doesn't need back lighting so that'll offset the power consumption anyway, I reckon.Originally Posted by Lanky123

I prefer the beta. More!
Why not just turn off your monitor when browsing a non-hexus website
I actually waited on the beta site for 2 mins for it to load! :->
The internet enables communication and we need this to solve the worlds problems.. or atleast have a good chatter about it whilst things get worse!
This is ridiculous.
CRT monitors consmue more power with white screens but an LCD (which most people have nowadays) consumes more power displaying black. What a waste of time.
Gaming PC: Athlon 64 3400+ @ 2.4 Ghz Stock; Shuttle SN85G4V3; Club 3D X800XT; 2x1Gb OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum 2-3-2-5; SB Audigy 2 ZS; WD Raptor 150GB; Maxtor DM10 200Gb; Pioneer DVR 110
Media PC: Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz; Shuttle SN45GV2; Geforce 2 MX; 2x256Mb OCZ PC3500 CAS2; Seagate Bararcuda 160Gb; NEC DVD
So with TFTs without dynamic backlighting, black webpages save nothing, but it's animation that causes the energy draw.
I'm thinking that getting rid of flash animated adverts must be the key to stopping global warming, then!
If they want to save power why not just turn off all those bloody 400w High pressure sodium streetlamps that run for 8-12 hours a day.
It was only a while until someone checked to see if there was any text on this 'beta' page:
<h1>You can't see meeeeee!</h1>
<p>HEXUS rocks, btw.</p>
in black font on the page!
lol
