Do something useful on the computer

Views: 133

While you're (most likely) wasting time on the computer, it doesn't hurt to take a bit of time to help.  This first link leads to the thread where you can donate by clicking a link.  In that thread, you can find a code in the first post to add those links to you Myspace, Facebook, Xanga and (as I recently discovered) your UG profile.

The second link is for a donation to find a cure for cancer.  It's the same as the other links, no monetary donation required, all you have to do is click a link. 

The third link is Google but with a black background instead of white.  The theory is that it takes less energy to light up a black pixel than a white one thus it saves energy.  But judging by the "About Blackle" link, there's no solid evidence.  However, it's good to set it to your homepage just in case. 

The last link is a download y
ou can set to turn off your monitor, spin down the disks, hibernate and/or shut down your computer after a set amount of time. It also tells you how many gallons of oil, number of trees and kilowatt hours you've saved.
