Comment on Senate Report Debunks “Consensus” on Man-Made Global Warming. by mike P

mike P — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:18:50 +0000

I’d like you to think about one thing. Al gore just mentioned a couple of months ago that 30% of man made CO2 was from 3rd world counties using cut trees for heat and fuel for cooking. Now, it has been discussed that 90% of CO2 is produced by oceans, decaying foliage and volcano’s. If thats true, then we control 10% of the CO2 production. Taking the fact the unless your going to give solar food heaters to 2 billion people, or something that works close to that, you have to take 30% off the table.
Now, let’s say we can change by 25%. And it’s only 25% of 70% of 10$ of the total CO2 produced. How much does that save us? Do the math. CO2 is only about .035 0f 1%. is it that much of a problem?
I’ve read science reports that state that it could increase by 3 times the amount and it would only help plant life and lead maybe to a warmer climate that who;s to say is the wrong temperature.
Al gore is off his rocker. You alarmists (he means YOU brewski -ed.) should do some serious research.
Mike

Ok I did as you asked Idiocracy. Thanks for the link.

My initial impression is that this is Microsoft’s production version of Windows Mojave.

The few differences that I have seen between Vista and Windows 7 so far … are purely cosmetic.

Microsoft evidently believes their own marketing hype.

Let’s see how manageable it is on the enterprise LAN.

I agree with the computer repair guy. Load it up and see how it performs before passing judgement. Download a torrent of Windows 7 from here and see if it sucks or not for yourself!

They are also quite illegal to import, purchase and/or operate in most western countries. The ladyada project has scientific, engineering and research value.

The point is to exercise one’s intellect. Too much to ask Kazelynf?

Hi webmaster! This is cool, but you can buy these things on the internet. They are only a hundred or so dollars U.S.!

Comment on Reviving Old PC800 RDRAM PCs by PoliTech

PoliTech — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:04:43 +0000

Hi Chopper Dan, Thanks for sharing your re-build experience here. There are some unofficial “Mini” or “Tiny” XP builds that I have used for really old Compaq iPaq desktop machines (we’re talking 900mhz boxen) with great success.

And I also have had a bunch of good luck running various Linux flavors on many of the old salvage computers that find their way to me. Knoppix, and Fedora have been most stable on old machines for me (but YMMV). Nice part is that you can load the entire Linux OS directly from the CD drive and don’t actually have to “install” any of it on your hard disk.

I just rebuilt an old Gateway Performance 1×00 (don’t remember the exact model off-hand) for an older lady and she is thrilled to have not only saved several hundred dollars that she would have spent on a new computer upgrade she didn’t need (think email, word-processing and solitaire). But she was also very happy to tell me that this was the “Green” solution as nothing ends up in a landfill, and she’s also not responsible for the carbon required to manufacture a completely new comp.

Thanks again for sharing Chopper Dan!

Well guys and girls I have a Sony PCV-RX470DS running windows XP. remember the post where these computers could supposedly only take a max or 512 MB of RDRAM? Well I ordered 1 GB (4 sets of 256 MB and IT ALL WORKS GREAT!!! Bought on the internet site. for I think about $150 haven’t run stuff yet but its seeing all the memory and with the new 500GB hard drive its like a new machine.

Thought I’d pass that along. As far as I can tell if they would have had 4 cards with 4 GB on them the machine would have accepted it. I think XP has a limit of 4 GB.

I figure that when this computer was new it was at the end of ME. I got a free upgrade. The way the systems were marked and marketed were for ME. So when the new OS came out nobody ever bothered to check but its all working great.

I also have the same Sony Vaio and have ordered 2 GB of RDRAM. I do believe that sony made a mistake I will post a follow up when the memory gets here. I recently added a 500 GB drive as the old 60 gb was getting tired and needed cloned. THis machine has worked for everything I use it for and don’t feel its very “green” to get a new one with that “new” operating system. I like XP and want to stay with it. Again I’ll let you all know if it really works. By the way I am only running 300 something in memory.
