Earth Day Contribution Computers

For Earth Day, I am retiring my old (and dangerous) Sun Blade 2000.  I'm replacing it with a new Ultra 24.  Granted, it's not up the drool-worth specs of Rama's system, but it will do for now.  I expect my office to be much cooler now (and quieter).

This will also allow me to use the latest xVM Server hypervisor technology, which is good because I'm on the xVM Ops Center team and I need to get some of this stuff to work.  :)

Sun Ultra 24

Stupid Shoppers Life

San Francisco's ban on plastic bags starts today.  The news interviewed a shopper who supported the ban and she had this to say:

Thank goodness there are no more plastic bags in my shopping cart!

Yes.  Too bad those plastic bags were forced on you all those years.

And, for the record, I support the ban, just not people too stupid to realize any of the following:

  1. You've always had the choice to pick paper.
  2. Both plastic and paper bags are easily recycled.
  3. Reusable bags are cheap and easy and sometimes save you money.

Right now being green is fashionable.  While that's a good thing, it shouldn't be a fad.  Also, legislation will not fix everything.  You must take personal responsibility.  That shouldn't be a fad either.
