I don't think it really matters if global warming is happening or not, or whether it is caused by humans. Should we just give up on trying to find cleaner sources of energy, lower emissions, etc... just because they may not be the cause of global warming? I think it's obvious that these things have other detrimental effects even if causing global warming isn't one of them.
This argument about there being no proof for what is causing global warming is often use to support more or less what you are saying... "Emissions might not be the cause of global warming. It could just be a normal cycle. (note that I'm not arguing with that) Therefore we should just keep doing whatever the hell we want".
On a somewhat unrelated note, it's not necessary to give up your life for humanity. If people would just stop having children, that would lower the population by quite a bit. Sure, for a few years we'd have a lot of old people, but we'd eventually die off. For an interesting look at this see The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement's web page.
actually the 12" powerbook could support up to 2GB of memory the same as any of the rest of them. It was just very hard and VERY expensive to find bigger SODIMMs. (note that now it is less hard, but no less expensive to do so)

You're joking right? You must not have driven much of Route 66. That drive makes me want to shoot myself!
