AH! I finally found out why people leave their TV running all the time:
They are preserving energy!!!

Come on, be reasonable. You will *always* find a so-called expert who
assure you that keeping computers on all the time is more
energy-efficient that shutting them down every evening. You will
likewise *always* find an expert who assures you of the contrary. Solution: use
common sense.

P.S. Ever wondered why US-made computers almost invariably have subminiature
power switches almost inaccessible at the back end? And why often
european-made ones have theirs in front? Any similarity with fuel
comsumption of detroit cars vs. european/japanese cars is purely
coincidental...
