It won't save any power at all. It's just a token exercise for Sky to
make
themselves sound environmentally-friendly because that's the current
trendy
buzzword for people to latch on to who have nothing better to think
about.


So what's better to think about in your opinion?

Anything that will actually make a difference, apart from just feeling
good
about yourself.

It seems to me that "not thinking at all" is all to common. People who
don't
have the time to think about which bin rubbish should go in for
example.

I know that already. I have a green bin in my kitchen. Everything goes
in that
and when it's full I tie the black bag up and put it outside when the
binmen
come. Easy.

Thats why there is no morality in any of your arguments! Perhaps they
should build an incinerator next to your house and you could just
through it the over the fence?

Out of interest, have you actually looked at the power consumption figures
for Sky boxes when on standby, compared to turned on? If so, surely your
arguement would be much stronger if you posted this information.

Don't be silly! Why spoil a heap of total bull**** with a few scientific
facts........................

:-) I remember hearing that a sky box uses pretty much the same amount of
power turned on or on stand by. No source for this, but if John wants to do
more than sound like an anti-technology luddite, he should provide figures
to back up his arguement. If he said "Putting the box on stand-by uses 76%
less electricity" then he`d have a sound basis for his complaint, otherwise
it`s all pointless posturing :-)

It seems to me that "not thinking at all" is all to common. People who
don't
have the time to think about which bin rubbish should go in for example.

I know that already. I have a green bin in my kitchen. Everything goes in
that
and when it's full I tie the black bag up and put it outside when the

come. Easy.

If the council want to halve my waste collections from weekly to fortnightly,
then halve my council tax. Any environmental fannying about can be done at
their cost, not mine.

build an incinerator next to your house and you could just through it the

Not a bad idea. All sorts of things could go in it - recyclable waste, non-
recyclable waste, chavvy kids who spend all day shouting, those blokes with
the bloody mini-motorbikes who make a racket, then their mini-motorbikes and,
finally, every ****ing pigeon in the neighbourhood just for waking me up :)

It's a difference between "negligible" and "just as negligible"(!)

Since I was retorting about recycling I haven't made any Luddite comments at
all. I've already said that this is all Green Spin from SKY because the
government was calling for Standby itself to go in favour of true Off or
Deep Hibernation, neither of which would require people to live the lives of
a luddite hermit.

Waking up is relative. I don't think he's ever woken up to anything beyond
his own small existence.

You're making the mistake that I care about your insults.

No, don't see many pigeons here in Italy, they're too easy to shoot.
Lots of other birds in the dawn chorus though...
