atmospheric methane.

Plants produce OXYGEN. Decaying, DEAD plants produce methane. We
refer to our dead plant piles as compost heaps or piles.

Sheesh.

No, there have been recent studied that show that living plants
release sizable amounts of methane too. It's been known for ages that
plants release hydrocarbons, which is why we have the "Smokey
Mountains."

Uhh.. Dude... that is water vapor! Most folks call it FOG. It is
related to dewpoint. I am from the Smokies and there is no fog due to

Was he right when he said "Approximately 80 percent of our air
pollution
stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation."?

Bovine flatulence and subterranean fossil decay is likely a bigger
culprit.

Apparently bovine farts are a myth - cows have more than one gut and the
gasses reverse course rather than completing the journey to the back end!

Really? Some research:

No research - it was mentioned on some documentary or other, but not to say

cows never fart just that most of the gas produced is belched!

What intrigues me is the claim that termites fart! One website shows a photo
of a fossilised termite in a block of amber with a stream of bubbles from
it's rear end. It probably suffocated quite quickly but carried on farting
until the hardening tree sap glued it's arse shut!

Maybe someone could test this by feeding a length of det-cord into a termite
mound and see if they can blow it up.............

Here's my very first google hit on the subject:

http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/2000-10-14/travel.html

"Once the spectacle of sunset passed, the views of the valleys turned
grayish shades of blue in the evening haze. The Cherokee Indians
called the Smokies "Shanconage," or place of blue smoke. The almost
ever-present haze is created by a combination of evaporation and
transpiration; the forest exhales terpenes, or hydrocarbon molecules,
from oils in the plants."

and there are lots more.

Replaced PSU, no change other than "floppy presence check" was louder,

Changed RAM. Fixed MOST of the problems.

BUT! I still have a weirdness. I can "see" other machines on the

So I still have an issue.

Other symptoms:

"Searching" the drive causes it to lock up.

But I can surf the internet.

Jim,

Have you tried swapping the network card? I have seen fnetwork cards go
flakey and cause hang-ups and re-boots like you describe.

Go to Control Panel/System/Device Manager, right-click your LAN adapter,

That's what I'm talking about. Google has some way of extracting text from

tool won't work. It's a scanned image.

Try *search* on such a file. I'll bet you'll find that the scanned
image is overlayed over an uncorrected OCR file created by Adobe
Capture. I don't think it's anything to do with Google.

Darn it, Speff, can't you wait til I get my chores done

I mentioned searching these files for text strings doesn't work. It tries
but quits instantly with no results.

Looking for an example, I tried searching google for a pdf article that I
downloaded long ago: Elaine Balliew, "The Challenge of Testing ADSL
Modems", Evaluation Engineering, October 1998. The copy I have is
definitely scanned with no text at all. Unfortunately, the only copy left
on the web is a text version stripped of all images. (Not that they were
that important.)

http://www.evaluationengineering.com/archive/articles/1098adsl.htm

So I'll never know why I downloaded the article - whether it was her wit
and charm, or the results of a google search, or if it was simply linked in
another long lost article

Anyway, I should never use google until all the dishes are washed and
everything is put away. it is simply too easy to get lost in very
interesting pages that you never seem to hit when you have lots of time to
spend.

Tell me about it. I was trying to solve the mystery of a menu item on
a Chinese menu, and ended up in a maze of different versions
(Mandarin, Khmer, Vietnamese, English) of an apparently *very* popular
and extremely sappy love song. Now I can't get the tune out of my
head... wo3 ai4 ni3, ai4 zhe4 ni3, jiu4 xiang4 lao3 shu3 ai4 da4
mi3... and I still don't know what the food item is (possibly whatever
they wanted it to be). The Chinese google (baidu.com) is interesting.

Doug,
If you are seriously interested, try gaining access to their Altium
support forum. I have the new tools but we haven't deployed them yet and
even then we don't do use their simulation tools (I do not know historically
why that is, but probably an issue going back to the day that the decision
was made).

If you can't easily gain access, contact them via email and I am sure
they will allow you access as a potential customer wanting to research the
state of the package. The forum can be searched and the other tool you could
try would be searching their "Knowledge Base" for relevant information. I
would also go through their user guides (there are a large number of them on
the website), their multimedia demos and even their white papers.

I used PADs for years and found it very usable in it's day. However that
day was back in the early to mid 90s and the package is still stuck there. I
agree that for today's market it is very "clunky". It can also get very
expensive when you start wanting any advanced features because you end up
having to buy so many additional high end modules in order to get the
features you actually want.

Sincerely,
Brad Velander.

From what

Doug,

I use both Protel and Pcad from Altium and like either one. Each one has
it's own plus's and minus's. Protel is good if you want all packages in one
including FPGAs. Pcad takes a different approach and keeps each application
independent. You can order demos of each and try them as well.

I usually end up modifying external drive cases to improve air flow.
Knock out parts of the grill at the fan exhaust and drill a few extra

deg.

On a last note, I've just started playing with SyncToy

Allows you to backup or sync two directories. It's free. You create
backup "jobs". Sort of a GUI version of RoboCopy, but much easier to

reliable, quiet, and run cool.

I usually end up modifying external drive cases to improve air flow.
Knock out parts of the grill at the fan exhaust and drill a few extra
holes in the front panel. That has dropped internal temp by 10 to 20
deg.

On a last note, I've just started playing with SyncToy

Allows you to backup or sync two directories. It's free. You create
backup "jobs". Sort of a GUI version of RoboCopy, but much easier to
use.

Hmm, wonder why that is. No such limits when two PCs are accessing each
other's hard drives over the LAN.

It is a limitation of the OS itself. It sees USB drives the same way
it sees IDE or SCSI drives, and limits you to one type of file system.
The LAN uses networking protocols, and the drive type is transparent
because the computer converts the data before sending, and after
receiving. If it wasn't, the internet and most other networks wouldn't
work, unless every computer was the same OS.

I have a pair of "Mad Dog Multimedia MD-AEN350USB2 USB2.0 USB drive
enclosure" that I use to work on computers On has a FAT32 drive, the
other has a NTFS drive. The computers don't recognize it if you use the
wrong file type.

They were about $25 each, and have used 30 to 40 GB drives in them
that I had salvaged from a pair of dead computers.
