Decoding the Inscrutable Logos On Your Electronics 140

jfruhlinger writes "If you've bought a piece of electronic equipment — a computer, a printer, even a lowly power supply — you've no doubt noticed a host of inscrutable logos festooned all over it — UL, CE, FCC, TUV, RoHS, ENERGY STAR, and the like. What do they mean? Each of these compliance marks tell a story about your gadget's operation or lifecycle, and knowing what they mean can let you in on the hidden life of the gizmos you buy."

    They tell you when you buy them.

    Don't feed them after midnight.
    Keep them away from water.
    Avoid sunlight.

    Thought that was common knowledge.

Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
