@willyolio: Yeah, and it's possible to culture perfect diamonds in the labratory now, but the diamond industry has brainwashed people into thinking that natural (flawed) diamonds are superior. Stupid DeBeers.

@dO_Ob: Now that you mention it...

@Pessimippopotamus: Awesome pic, and I'm assuming you must be a SG fan with the FTL reference? :)

@Darth Meow 504: Nice.

@KamWrex: lemmings effect.

@Dominic Corona: My brain is fried today. For some reason I was thinking 1990 was 10 years ago. I think I'm too distracted by the holiday work party that starts in a couple of hours...

@mricyfire: No. [www.timesonline.co.uk]

@slyman928: People in general are assholes though, especially on the internet. :)

@tj: Could be both! They're not mutually exclusive things, ya know. :)

@Thomas_IL_: Yes. A black pixel on an LCD display costs ever so slightly more energy than a white one. You need to energize the LCD pixel element to block the light from a white backlight lamp. [www.pctechguide.com]

@battra92: I'm in Arizona and had to use my air condition yesterday. :(

@whormongr: The key is "important" documents. 99.9999% of the shit that gets printed at most businesses do not fall into that category, especially after quarter/year end.

@blyan is nominal too?: I know. We have a recycling bin too, but most people just throw trash into it, to make things even worse. People are so wasteful when it's not coming out of their pocket. So sad, and even though I don't have kids, I am way more considerate of the environment than most breeders. :(

@Hooray4Zoidberg: I just scan in my signature, paste it into any documents that need signing, and fax/email it back directly from my PC. Works fine without needing to print anything.

@blyan is nominal too?: Totally agree. I see so many printouts (mostly screenshots of useless shit that they could have just saved to their hard drive) by the work printer that people never even bother picking up, and winds up in the trash can. What a fucking waste.

I love these. Short and straight to the point. It's the Daily Show of internet news!

@hilikusopus: Meh. [www.cleverbot.com]

@zoanon: Since never.

@Stente: If you had clicked the first link in the article, you would have read that it's somewhere in the neighborhood of $600 billion dollars. [gizmodo.com]

@Slinkytech: Fat chance!
