It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?
The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour.
About Earth Hour On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.
In order to increase your system performance, a regular defragment task for all the drives should be performed. This is to prevent your drive from fragmented. But how do you defragment the system files then? The problem is that Windows XP doesn’t allow certain system files to be defragmented due to the files are open for exclusive access. Thus, standard defragmentation programs can neither show you how fragmented your paging files or Registry hives are, nor defragment them. System files fragmentation can lead to performance degradation of your system.
Ever tired of watching YouTube? DanceJam is a bit different from YouTube where it is only for dance videos. DanceJam is now launched into open beta after several months of private testing.
Here, you get to watch dance battles where users dance off against each other, and you can cast your vote for the best dance videos. I watched a few of the dance battles, some of the dance moves are really awesome! But there were some who are competing with different standards though :lol: DanceJam also offers general dance videos, including locally uploaded content and videos from external sites such YouTube.
