My dad used to work for a plastics plant, and they got a contract back during the Bacelona Olympic Games to build these 4 by 3 by 1 tubs for Mars Bars. There were yo build a tub then insert into the bottom what was essentialy a ceremic coin about an inch in diameter with 2 diods sticking out. This coin, made in on a sub-contract in Malaysia and designed by the Japanese had the abality to keep that tub, filled with Mars bars cool so as the Mars bars didn't melt. I don't really know how it worked, but my dad mentioned to me that theyed apply 18 volts of current to it and it'd heat up on one side and freeze on the other. it was so cold taht when one of my dads co-workers touched it, his skin froze over and tore. It needed 2 fans to cool it.
All plants DO breath O2. It's just that in the day time it's said that they breath CO2, This is wrong. This is because in carrying out photosyntisis, O2 is produced as a byproduct (6H20 + 6CO2 -> C6H12O6 + 6O2). Out of this a persentage is recirculated to carry out respiration and the excess is useless and is discaharged. So they still breath O2, but use CO2 in carrying out photosyntisis. Then in the night when theres no sun to carry out photosyntisis, they take O2 from the air.
Besides, it won't be much of a problewm because 70% of the earths O2 supply is exchanged out in the sea and not by trees on land (Think Plankton).
I've notice that Both Photoshop 6.0 and Photoshop Elements won't run without 512mb of swap no matter how much RAM you have. And here you have me who locks my SWAPfile at 256 MB on it's own partition. It's getting to be a real pain. Really, even with the memory hog that is Windows, Doyou really need 512MB of Swap when you already have that amount in RAM? Most files generated don't get even 1/2 as big as that unless youre making an Ad for a BUS full sized.
Reminds me of this kid for a science fair project, held a poll asking people to support a ban on the production and use of Dihydrogen Monoxide, a substance which is discharged by most industries, is a major component of acid rain, causes break failure on automobiles and has been found in cancer cells in cancer patents. 70% responded with a YES, 22% had no opinion, and only 8% knew what Dihydrogen Monoxide was and said no.The title of the fair entry? A Survey on 'How gullible are we?'
(Dihydrogen Monoxide, is H2O a.k.a water)
But really, wouldn't using Liquid Nitrogen to cool it make more sense since it's naturally cold when it's liquid? (Yes it also means that if you can keep it from expanding, you can keep ur Athlon below freezing)
