Idiots.. the whole lot of them. The current level of CO2 is at around 400ppm. Plants die off at 150ppm. The optimal CO2 level for plants is 4,000ppm. Think we are going the right direction trying to lower the CO2 level?

Heh.. if I had enough cases, I would probably have about 50. As it is, I have about 3-4 that are mostly finalized and about 7-8 that are in a ... what am I doing here? stage. And even the ones I say are mostly complete I think I am for sure going to make some changes. Once I figure out the exact …

Those cards have been posted there for quite a while. And is is "only" $1,300 for what looks like to also have a AWE64 Gold with the 24MB upgrade.... waaaaay too rich for me, especially since it is really just an AWE64 Gold with more RAM, surround sound and a digital daughterboard...

Yes, that's normal for Win9x. Win Me or 2k are perhaps more stable in this regard, since they share some modern system files. I had even worse experience with Windows Me. It often crashed to the point that the system couldn't even reach explorer.exe (with all kinds of such errors occurring right …
