I agree with this. This article mentions software utilities that try to solve the problem.

Quoted: That's the large display paradox. Having all that space can make you less productive due to all the window manipulation excise you have to deal with to make effective use of it.

I was telling people in the office about this skit this morning. Thanks for Dotting it, Brent! I thought it was brilliant.

Quoted: Vice-President Gore's allies believe that Hillary Clinton, 59, the frontrunner, is unable to win the presidency. The most recent poll shows a growing number of voters think negatively of her, in contrast to Mr Gore, who enjoys far greater popularity than when he lost the 2000 presidential race despite polling more votes nationally than the eventual winner, George W Bush.

gore! gore! gore!

This message it taking up nearly all the space above the fold...It's actually difficult to find Apple-related stuff. Gore is on their board of directors.

Quoted:Al has put his heart and soul, and much of his life during the past several years, into alerting and educating us all on the climate crisis. We are bursting with pride for Al and this historic recognition of his global contributions.

Quoted: The question now is what he will do with the prestige and attention that comes to him with the Nobel Peace Prize.

Why the "Peace" Prize is deserved...

Quoted: In the 21st century, although the world faces a new era of turmoil, peace ultimately must be about identifying and resolving the sources of conflict before battles break out. That's why no one deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than Al Gore.

Quoted: TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration. Initially an annual conference, the scope of TED has expanded to include a bi-annual global conference, a humanitarian prize, and free audio/video podcasts of extraordinary talks.

what's going on with ning.com? how is it different?

Quoted: Dedicated to getting Al Gore into the 2008 election.

Companion site to An Inconvenient Truth. Just watched last night. Pretty compelling argument. I'm pretty convinced that:

- Humans are having a dramatic effect on the CO2 in the atmosphere.
- Levels of CO2 are at higher levels than they have been for 100's of million years.
- The planet is on the high end of it's historical temperature over a similarly long time-scale.

Seems to me, the primary solutions are:
- Reduce the amount of energy each human consumes.
- Add more Nuclear power to our mix of sources.
- Reduce the number of humans on the planet.
- Possibly a technology fix to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere.

Gore never showed this - but if you look at the human contribution to CO2 vs. that produced by plants - it's still a tiny percentage. I know Gore is trying to get his message out - but he would be more effective if he had a more balanced explanation of the science.

I also feel that there are some BENEFITS to global warming. Gore just shows how terrible and CHANGE is. For any environmental change, there will be winners and losers - it's not an unmitigated catastrophe. I also think his scare tactics about ocean rises of 20 feet are unwarranted. Current projections are for sea rising 0.3 mm per year (about an inch per decade).

Quoted: See the Truth: Pledge to see An Inconvenient Truth on opening weekend at the film's official website. An Inconvenient Truth is a feature film documentary on the Earth's climate crisis. The film features Al Gore and is directed by Davis Guggenheim. A Paramount Classics Release.
