Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate. Shutdown your personal computer tomorrow and see if you can stand for 24 hours without a PC. Click here to find out more.

shutdown day....what a dumbass idea.

If people were really serious about carbon emissions, the government would force car manufacturers to stop designing/selling internal combustion engine cars and start replacing them with hydrogen/biofuel/electrics.

But they arnt, so I say.
Good day.

I shut down... but I didn't know this was happening. I was out doing an hike for DoE (some people in England will know what that is) so didn't get the chance to use my PC.
