Why do you think these pollutants are no longer being spewed out? Because the power companies felt bad for all the acid rain and pollution they were causing? No, it's because the EPA came into existance and made them clean up their acts. There is always more that can be done and yes CO2 can be captured. I didn't say it is easy or economically feasible but yes it can be done.

This is exactly part of the issue of the slowdown over time. The system spends more and more time searching for the correct files in the SxS jungle to use with each system call. Yes the registry can get muddled up but bloat caused by MS architecture failures seems to be the culprit in my opinion. I don't have metrics or references just 20 years experience as an admin. The SxS mess was created to fix the DLL hell mess.

An often overlooked killer is the environment path. Say for instance you install a program that prepends their path to the environment path and guess where the OS starts it's search every time it looks for an object on disk, in that folder. The entry %SystemRoot%\system32 should be the first in the path.

I noticed the same thing too. Even going back 20 years to the very first graphing calculators the prices have not changed much. The technology is so much more advanced now but the price and the screen quality seem to have stayed the same.

We need an open source graphing calculator project. OGCPC! (one graphing calculator per child).
