realizing that the "faster, faster, faster" movement in the world of computers & semicondunctors will turn away from the need to render 50 frames per second at 1600x1200 resolution (the kind of performance that would get the attention of a video game afficionado), and to realize that we will need to be happy with computers that sip power like the Mac mini (20 watts), instead of computers that consume 500 watts & up.

also, learning to appreciate a bikini as a statement of environmental concern, and not just vanity, since it is so efficient in its use of fabric.

Mac Mini's rock. Mine sips 7W when it is sleeping and it has the fastest wake up time of any computer that I have owned. Apple is finally putting the PC world to shame

i was wondering if that would be a good topic for a post, low energy power consumption computing (Peak Oil forum browsing).

for example staying within an energy budget of 175 watt-hours, which is about how much a person who weighs 150 pounds and is riding a 25 pound bike generates when they climb up to Skyline, for an hour.

7W is so weak.

Try this 1.0 kW power supply on for size.

Nothing for me. I just assume that alternative technologies will take the place of oil little by little.

I feel like peak oil gave me some purpose. It woke me from the 90's and a deep slumber. The changes we've made have helped our bottom line and the planet. Check out the website under www below for energy saving projects we've done. I really thought about this, and there's practically nothing that peak oil has left undone in my life.

I could run 7 watts off my puny 75 watt PV system! I could still use the internet even if the electricity goes out! Life won't be so bad after all....

The material object undone in my life due to peak oil is a pick-up truck. No more of that, unless a 50 mpg p/u is marketed in the USA.
