Q. I read one of the yahoo articles saying that leaving your computer idle overnight can cost up to 2 billion dollars. Is it a good idea to leave your computer/gaming console/TV/etc. on for a few hours? Or is it better to just close it and reopen it later?
A. > leaving your computer idle overnight can cost up to 2 billion dollars.
No. That is total for the country (maybe the world). They will NOT send you a bill for 2 billion $$$. ;-)

If you don't mind the long restart time, then shut it down. The SLEEP (idle) mode was created for people at work, while they walk away for meeting and such the computer can save MOST of the energy. But if they go to lunch or even overnight, it should be turned off.
The hibernate mode is a good compromise. It is actually like being completely OFF yet, it can restore all your open items when turned back on.
Good luck...

Does washing your eyes after visual activities damage your eyesight?
Q. For example, playing computer games/watching TV/reading books for hours then taking a bath immediately afterwards. Will it damage my eyesight?
A. Despite what your parents tell you, playing computer games, watching TV, and reading books will not cause permanent damage to your eyes.
Taking a bath afterwards will also not hurt your eyes.
If you close your eyes and wash your face, that won't hurt anything.
If you're trying to wash your eyeballs, that isn't a good idea, no matter what you were doing before, unless you splashed a chemical into your eyes that needs to be rinsed out.
