Anyway, GOTD does a pretty good job of giving us variety. Keep rocking guys.

ANOTHER screensaver?! No thanks, I’m happy with my blank screen.

why not jkdefrag, do something useful (speed up your computer a taste) with otherwise wasted cpu time? when it finishes a different screensaver would remind you to turn off your computer.

Now we Muslims and Christians being commented on, What goes??

they’re forgetting to pick on buddists and us pagans and agnostics?

those that claim no one will watch- well, you know those anti-rsi timers? better than grinding your teeth at what you were trying to get done while giving your hands a break. the ssaver doesn’t have to take forever to come on.

personally I can type for maybe 15 minutes and then have to wait a half hour or more before I can use my fingers again.

I just thought that I should give my honest advice to the GAOTD Team and hope that they stop these regular screensaver giveaways.

and give us a day of nothing at all while they try to rustle up something else? at least a few like them.

as for power, if you have an lcd screen there is a neglishable difference in drain between displaying a screensaver, blank- or turned off!

the wall wart keeps dissipating power anyway.

Screensavers are good for those who want to see the planets power source die

do the math, and quit cooking your food and washing and drying your clothes. an hour of dryer use is thousands of hours of a screensaver’s lcd draw.

an electric element on a stove can run 5 kilowatts- really, do the math and conserve where it does some good.

I like to read books- just as much of a waste as I usually read ebooks. OTOH, the paper kind cost power too in lights at night.

ah well, you can’t get reality through to most people anyway.

Even when I don’t use the pc, but -for whatever reason- I left it on or even wanted to leave it on I walk across the room and see the nice scenery. That’s good enough for me, it’s a bit like aquarium lovers do.

Quote:’So, instead of using a screensaver at all, you can simply set your computer to automatically turn off after being idle for a few minutes‘
It is clear you don’t realize that a screensaver can do that for you and more. If you don’t like to reboot you can make a screensaver locking your pc. Only with a password you regain access. Many companies use this as a security policy against abusing a pc while someone is called away for a meeting or something like that. Very usefull I might add, not just for fun.

Quote:’But my point is that giving away a screensaver is just a waste of great resources.‘
What resources do you need when a screensaver is running. It is typically running when the pc is idle for some time.

Do you mean comments cannot be any praise? Isn’t it honest advice when people speak out that they like it just as much as they don’t like it?

Quote:’I will still visit this site daily & First time that I have given such a huge comment.‘
So you should know better & try not being the one who knows what is best for everybody. Opinions are there in all sorts not only yours. But having YOUR opinion is fine among all the very different others.
