The expression "stick that in your pipe and smoke it" is not meant to be taken literally, but refers to accepting a bitter-tasting truth due to the evidence supporting it and in spite of your preconceptions. g/kWh stands for "Grams per Kilowatt Hour" which is a metric measurement of CO2 output from electrical energy sources (such as nuclear power stations). I did not wish to insult anybody with my post, merely to investigate the claims that CO2 production by mankind is the greatest (sometimes even sole) cause of climate change. I stress that this is NOT a scientific study, and should not be taken to be one; however, it does provide some figures which have been obtained from external, independent sources that corroborate my assertion that 17 and a half non-energy-saving lightbulbs are equivalent in CO2 production to a single cow. I am sorry if you still feel offended. Incidentally, my sister is a smoking vegetarian, so I am offended by your claim that it is "a habit of the devil". Fortunately, this is the internet, so I have learnt to take everything with a pinch of salt. Hello again Douglas, my own resident Troll, I’m flattered!

If you want to know about Linux, try it yourself - the popular GNU/Linux distribution "ubuntu" is free to download on ubuntu.com and you can try it without affecting your system by running it from the CD. I'm sure you're very impressed with Windows 7 and I'm glad you've found an operating system that you like, but if you're only here to sing Windows' praises, then you might ask Microsoft for a cut of their marketting budget. Linux doesn't have a marketting budget as it is not-for-profit, so I promote it as an alternative voluntarily. Microsoft are a profit-making organisation, and don't really need you to voluntarily market their product as they already hold a monopoly on the Operating System market. Good day to you, sir.

My kids love that in Windows 7 :) It really is an amazingly in-depth operating system! Can you arrange the tiles in a family photo album to make pretty patterns on Linux?

I find your comment about Vegetarians very offensive as I have never smoked in my life! I find it to be a habit of the devil. You should think before you type such things as us vegetarian non-smokers would not like to be associated with the smoking vegetarians. Also I'm not very good at Maths so can I just ask is that a metric or imperial measurement of energy? Hi I was googling for vegetarian durger recipies and stumbled on your blog.

I tested a laptop with Windows 7 on versus Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu 9.04 booted up in 29 seconds, 7 took 2 minutes and 21 seconds. If Windows works for you, that's fantastic, use Windows. For me, I find Windows frustrating, slow, extremely limited and counter-intuitive. I would just suggest that you try Linux before completely writing it off, though, as you may find that the stories you've heard are untrue. Then again, you may not, in which case you can just carry on using Windows and nobody has lost anything. Take care, Chris Yes, I have tried Windows 7.
