I love people who make shit up about devices taking more power to turn on and off than to just leave on. Sorry, lazy retard, every time that myth has been tested for any device it’s been 100% busted. If you wanna mock a tedious note, don’t do it by making it clear that you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. Until you can put together a rebuttal that actually works, just get off your damn ass and hit the fucking power button.

I think the microwave note to cover the food in the microwave is an excellent housekeeping tip. I will post a reminder for myself tomorrow, after I go to Office Depot and buy purple post its.

Yes, because I get more tired turning a light on and off.

Real question, Ferd: does turning a regular light on and off = more energy used than leaving it on?

Um, learn more physics. Most technology exhibits non-uniform power consumption. Devices can draw much, much more energy during their shutdown and start-up phases than when “idling”. This is especially true if the device is built with power-saving features.

It can very often, in fact, be true that leaving a frequently-used computer running in “sleep” mode wastes less power than shutting it down just to start it up again. Those cycles can also be harder on some components. (If you’re worried about overnight consumption, make someone responsible for shutting it down at the end of the day.)

You are so very lucky. The admin assistant posts PA notes on the second (sometimes first) infraction of any sort in the break room or copy room.

bah, unsplit infinitives are for those who have never gone where no man has gone before!

or ended a sentence with a preposition, for that matter…
