Why is it that the number buttons on a computer and calculator are set up differently on a phone? Why not keep them all in the same pattern instead of swapping the top and bottom lines over?

How can I calculate the CO2-emmissions of my webpage?

My goal is to make my webpage (www.MyTree.TV) CO2-neutral! In order to reach this goal I intend to buy CO2-Certificates from www.newTree.org but the problem is that I don't know how to calculate the CO2-emissions of a webpage! The number of users is certainly important but if you consider just the electricity-consumption of a server it's not correct in my opinion. Does anyone know how to make a sound estimation?

What else can be measured to 5 trillion dp? What I suppose I mean is: is there any use for pi calculated to this level of accuracy? It's done using formulae. Surely we couldn't actually measure a circle's diameter and circumference this accurately, or anywhere close to it? If the only purpose is to prove that computers have advanced, is there a more useful proof?
