ecoli Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 then, her energy use would be negative. you could, like, leave light-bulbs on and stuff. it wouldn't be negative because the amount of energy to keep her alive would still be more than her output. What you should do, is kill her and keep her in the furnace. Use the energy from her decaying body to heat your house. Then, you could burn all her stuff for heat energy too.

Severian Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I realise that that was a joke, but I think it is in very poor taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herme3 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 it wouldn't be negative because the amount of energy to keep her alive would still be more than her output. What you should do, is kill her and keep her in the furnace. Use the energy from her decaying body to heat your house. Then, you could burn all her stuff for heat energy too. I think her body would release greenhouse gases as it decays. Anyway, I'm very concerned about global warming. Yet, I'm not really sure how much I can do about it. There aren't any bike paths in my area, and college is about 20 miles away, so I must drive everyday. Also, I keep three computers running at the same time whenever I'm at home. I can actually use two at the same time, and I usually have the third one doing something automated. I run a lot of web sites, design a lot of programs, and post in a lot of forums. I need lots of computing power! I do try to conserve energy whenever possible. I turn off lights when I'm not in the room. I also turn off other electrical appliances when I'm not using them.

Severian Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 How many web sites do you run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 LoL... I just thought of an amusing distributed computing app -- calculating the amount of time left before the Earth is destroyed by global warming! Only the fastest and hottest processors would be allowed to participate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
