paul on Cartoons De nuon reclame gezien met die leuke lampjes in de Sahara? Website gekeken?
http://www.nuon.nl/acties/verspilling/top-5-verspillers.jsp
Bij mij begon er iets te jeuken toen ik op de Nuon site las dat ze met
300 miljoen spaarlampjes 'de hele sahara' willen verlichten. Met mijn
vmbo-niveau (theoretische leerweg) kan ik dat nog wel uitrekenen...
300.000.000 spaarlampen op 9.065.000 km2 Sahara?
= 33 lampen per vierkante kilometer...
= 1 lamp moet 30.000 vierkante meter verlichten...
sterk lampje hoor...
Maar de hele reclamefilm en onderliggende berekening kloppen ook niet
Met z'n allen - inclusief industrie en transport - gebruiken we aan
energie 2698 PetaJoule per jaar (CBS 2007)
http://statline.cbs.nl/StatWeb/publication/?VW=T&DM=SLNL&PA=37281&HD=080706-1219
Huishoudens doen daarvan 920 PetaJoules ( 1 PJ = 278 kWh) aan gas en
electriciteit...
30% van 920 = 276 maal 278 miljoen kWh = 76.728.000.000 kWh
Dat lijkt veel maar "de hele sahara" is wel 9.065.000 vierkante
kilometer groot...
Dus die 30% die wij met z'n allen verspillen is dan 8464 kWh per jaar
per vierkante kilometer Sahara
Nuon zegt nog: Dag en Nacht...
Dat betekent (8464/(365x24)) 966 W per vierkante kilometer... 100
spaarlampen ( van 10 watt) op een vierkante kilometer? Dat is 1 lamp
op 10.000m2
Kijk nog eens naar dat plaatje: dat klopt dus echt niet met de
afbeeldingen in de
reclame.----------------------------------------------------------
Ach waarom zou je in de Sahara een boek willen lezen, terwijl we hier
al niet kunnen rekenen... Nuon wordt aanbevolen door WCeend!
John on Bipartisan idiocy At the end of the day, they're all politicians, and they're all American politicians. Guns and warfare are all they know. It's sad, but I don't expect anything to change just because a spineless Democrat is in charge. Afterall, they've been in charge for a year+ now and done nothing.
John on Acrobat If only that were true. It takes almost as long to start as Photoshop and has so many unnecessary additional bits embedded in it that I think Adobe have lost sight of the fact that it is meant to be a document reader. I now prefer Apple's built in Preview app for reading PDFs because I can be several pages in before Adobe's reader has finished telling me about all the crap it is loading.
Chris G on Acrobat And it's just a document viewer for chrissakes - just imagine if the Adobe Acrobat team had written an operating system...
graucert on ‘Disneyland’ comes to Baghdad with multi-million pound entertainment park If you thought that was scary, did you see that an advisor to McCain is lobbying for casinos in Baghdad's green zone? I saw it on Raed in the Middle's blog (but it was also on DailyKos the other day):

What Happens in the Green Zone, Stays in the Green Zone

John Sinteur on I set up a new web site today….- not a lot of legitimate follow-up mail for whatever purpose people were registering for
Most honest marketeers have found out that confirmed opt-in is the only way to stay off blacklists, so that's not a surprise (and actually a good thing)
- a lot of emails to john.doe@niet.com, all english names, unlikely to have been people who used niet.com to create a fake address.
Those are from backscatter from a few years ago when niet.com was used with random english names @niet.com as a "From" address by a spammer.
Sometimes addresses fall into the wrong hands because a business or site goes belly-up and the inventory gets sold off
Of course they do - does that make the new "owner" of the list any less of a spammer?
Given that a lot of spam has a forged From address, aren’t you exposing people’s legitimate email addresses to further harvesting here?
If the address shows up on niet.com, the address was already in a spammer database. I'm not making links of the addresses, so any harvester has to wade through plan text to find them. The added "risk" is acceptably small.
Maarten on I set up a new web site today…. Taking a quick look through, I was struck by a few things:
- not a lot of legitimate follow-up mail for whatever purpose people were registering for
- a lot of emails to john.doe@niet.com, all english names, unlikely to have been people who used niet.com to create a fake address.
- on the other hand, not a lot of evidence of simple user name dictionary attacks
Sometimes addresses fall into the wrong hands because a business or site goes belly-up and the inventory gets sold off. Privacy laws should prevents this, but there are cases where the original personwho asked for your address is not really at fault.
Given that a lot of spam has a forged From address, aren't you exposing people's legitimate email addresses to further harvesting here?
John on Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom Sounds like Viacom is fishing for evidence. Hope they have some big discs, or are ready to process a live stream that will go for months.
As for videos that have been taken down, I hope the folks at YouTube had the smarts to actually delete them - best not to keep content that has been taken down in case some dumb judge comes along and demands you hand it over. I suspect a court order will mean that there is no copyright violation though, as long as Viacom deletes it all once they've finished their fishing expedition. A smarter move would have been to use an independent intermediary to do the research though.
Still sad that the courts don't understand what user generated content sites are, and how they work.
Roland Hesz on Bill Gates was misquoted Yes, he will look stupid. They will all say: "Look the stupid guy, he was so stupid built a company that ruled the PC market for a couple decades and retired a billionaire! How stupid he was, oh my!"
Meh...
Jan-Mark on How to… It is not working. Re re-re-re-ed windows, but it's still not working. Man I feel like an Idiot...
Maarten on CNN priorities Maybe you should start shamecnn.com or shamethemedia.com where you let people submit screenshots like this. (Not sure how you'd filter out the photoshoppers....)
Maarten on How to… Hey, why didn't FlashBlocker block that YouTube vide....oooooooohhhh.

Either the First lady doesn’t see the irony of what she’s saying, or she does all too well and still says it for obvious political reasons. Either way, we are in the wrong hands….
Ralph, I’m Italian and I’m living in Italy. Nevertheless, I hate seeing what Bush & co. did to America. I was moved almost to tears when I read about the Walter Reed scandal and the way veterans of Iraq get treated. I will never forget the floating bodies in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. I write from the land where cronysm is an art, and still can’t believe how perverted this administration has been. I’m not a conspiracy theorist (9/11 and all) just because I wouldn’t want to live in a world where those theories are actually true. And I would never have voted for Bush. Once.

Andy, you have been in the wrong hands for almost eight years now, but you voted for it yourselves. Twice.
