I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I don't need to do that, I have remote start on my Malibu.

Wyle said:FYI, I liked the snow, but it was wearing out my fan clutch (oh, wrong platform) and hijacking my CPU. Thanks for making a setting to turn it off.

CPU was running pegged at 100%. Closed GMTNation tab and it dropped to 7%. New tab with GMTN and fan takes off again.
Turned off snowflake setting and CPU slowed down after a few seconds (first ramp down shown). Used browser history to go back to forum page and, bingo, fan and snowflakes again. Reloaded the page (to update settings) and, boom, back down to 7%.
FWIW, Windows 2000 (shut up, I know, its way down on THE LIST), Firefox 3.6, 1.7GHz P4, 768Mb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6200 w/ 256Mb.
I'm guessing that snow was making my system cold and the CPU/fan were hard at work on melting duty.
