DK writes "Computer performance has increased steadily in recent years, and unfortunately so has power consumption. An ultimate gaming system equipped with a quad-core processor, two NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra, 4 sticks of DDR2 memory, and a few hard drives can easily consume 500W without doing anything! To reduce power wastage, the industry standards APM and ACPI have been developed to make our computers work more efficiently. ACPI is the successor of APM and is explained in detail in this article."

You go there to read the article? Damn, I go there to enjoy the ads, and that little article paragraph in the middle? It's pissing me off. It's right in the middle, getting in my way, demanding attention, as if I have nothing better to do than read articles all day.
Can't there be site with just the ads and no pesky articles?
And then I found this [milliondol...mepage.com]. Best. Site. Ever.
