Does it annoy you when people use emoticons/emojis as ending puncutation marks like this :(

Is there an emoji for "Who gives a ... !?"?

You do realise of course that ! and ? are emojis? They just
didn't call them that then.

How about people with bad sigs?

Bah, and indeed, Humbug.

How about people with sigs? PERIOD
Sigs are a waste of bytes.

And bytes are becoming a dwindling resource these days, like sand?

Your argument kind of made sense in the last century.

How many kwh per bytes?

The entropy of a single bit is k·ln(2), with Boltzmann's
constant k being approximately 1.3806505 · 10^(-23) J/K.

What about *energy* for servers?

What about *energy* for servers?

The entropy of a single bit gives a lower value for the
heat that is produced when the information of one bit
is dissipated, but real servers consume much more energy
than this theoretical minimum.

You can read something about ideas to reduce server
energy consumption on pages like
