Nope, 149 TWh nuclear and 66 TWh water[1]. If we actually are talking about energy, most is coming from biofuels.

Posted by kdawson on Sunday April 12, 2009 @08:16AM from the sharing-it-around dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With Jaunty Jackalope scheduled for release in 12 days on April 23, this blog posting describes how to switch to apt-p2p in preparation for the upgrade. This should help significantly to reduce the load on the mirrors, smooth out the upgrade experience for all involved, and bypass the numerous problems that have occurred in the past on Ubuntu release day. Remember to disable all third-party repositories beforehand."

Well actually, Windows has version numbers too but it is not shown to the user unless you ask for it (eg. winver), but to be fair, the version of the linux kernel is usually not shown to the user either unless you ask for it (eg. uname).

well I see my kernel version every time I reboot since it shows up in grub. Probably only a debian/ubuntu based problem though..
