I think it funny (for the record – if we’re counting).

However if you want to do something about Global warming, turn off the D@m PC when you go home at night, or if you’re too lazy to do that at least hit the power switch on that monitor, it’s right there in front of you, easy to reach, you’ll remember to turn it on in the morning – after a few hours.

Global warming definitely isn’t funny and is something to absolutely take seriously. I do think it’s funny, however, to suggest that Windows users are causing it by all that rebooting they do. Consider how much progress will have been made against global warming if we ever are truly consider by excess heat caused by rebooting. By then we’ll have reduced the problems caused by cars, factories, and even the cow methane.

I noticed it was a joke… but, as I said, *I* don’t find it funny (global warming isn’t fun). But nevermind.

It’s a mac user joke, nothing to start a Mac vs TheRestOfTheWorld war

*I* thought the site was funny. Pascal Thivent, you do need a better sense of humor! Of course the site is guilty of the better than thou attitude of mac users over windows, but if you read the site, it does mention “And, no, this isn’t real. But wouldn’t it be nice if were?” And by all means, feel free to make a site dumping on mac users for not having windows.

Hello,

come on, what kind of advertising is this site? With all due respect, do you have Apple stocks or what?

It is well known that Apple isn’t a top green company, just check for example this [recent greenpeace scorecard] [1] or google “apple+greenpeace”. There is plenty of litterature on this subject.

So, I may be suffering from a lack of sense of humour but I don’t find the [Who is behind this?] [2] page very funny: claiming that Apple could reduce the global warming is a lie, or pure FUD, not a a joke.

Hahaha Nice one.
I honnestly believed it for 10 seconds I already had 2 clunkers ready to ship!

So “Succeeding with Agile” comes out this week great, cause I just started to implement it at my company. First lecture / introduction was done this morning to the team and the management staff and raised a lot of enthusiasm! . I used mostly your presentation adapted to our situation. Thanks!

Can I get a volume discount for nine PC clunkers? After switching to a Mac, I am seriously considering moving all the home machines to Macs (to reduce my personal admin time).
