More accurately: Carbon dioxide gas also can be sold commercially to the petrochemical industry, which uses large quantities of it to extract fossil fuels.
At the moment, only plants can react H2O, CO2 and a couple of photons into fuel. The problem with the article's method is getting rid of the CO2. The harvested CO2 is removed from the earth's carbon cycle. This is not a valid long-term way of dealing with the problem.
From the article: The purified and liberated carbon dioxide can then be sequestered as a gas by direct injection into the ground or it could be reacted with minerals to form a solid.

I am typing this message in Mozilla 0.9.9 that's running on a university computer 3 miles away. I'm using Mozilla over ssh because I want my home browser to have the same cookies and bookmarks as my work browser and can't be bothered to scp the.mozilla dir. There is no decrease in performance at all (the univ. comp. is 1.2 GHz, the one I'm touching is 0.4). I can also run OpenOffice really well like this.
This is proof to me that X-Windows over ssh absolutely rocks!
'Citing internal Microsoft memos, the nine states also said that in 2000 and 2001 Microsoft pressured Dell Computer Corp. into dropping plans to offer the open-source Linux operating system on some machines it sells.'
On a related, dual-boot note: many laptop vendors install Windows XP with the NTFS filesystem taking all of the hard-drive. These laptops only have a restore-CD to put XP back and usually have only 1 restore option: XP for the entire drive. I'm sure Microsoft 'encourages' vendors to not distribute real XP install CD's with computers. This is a very nasty way of discouraging people from trying an alternative.
A friend of mine recently bougth a Compaq Presario 1714AE and wanted to be able to dual boot and get to know linux. I did the install for her, starting with erasing the entire disk figuring I could restore XP on a smaller partition. I turned out the restore CD had only 1.5 MB of data on it. All the real restore data was on the second partition of the same hard-disk! (which I'd erased)
So there was only on thing to do: intall only linux. Compaq does send a real restore-CD if you call their expensive support-line. The CD took four weeks to arrive and when it did, using it erased the entire harddisk again. There was no way to install XP from these CD's alongside linux. Absolutely no way. I spent an entire day trying many tricks. Even Partition Magic 7 could not shrinkt the NTFS partition on this machine.
The good thing is that my friend is very happy with SuSE, which she preferred over XP. And she is no computer expert at all. She only has a problem with running CD-ROMs. DVD's work very well (after tweaking).
She has now called Compaq again and demanded the real XP install CD's which she paid for. Compaq is clearly trying to delay things, unfortunately.
3. Those who would like to use code, are entirely willing to give credit where credit is due, but haven't decided yet if they want to (or, legally, are allowed to) release their own code.
is the same as
2.Those that would like to steal code repackage it and sell it without giving either credit or code back to whence it came.
4. Anyone who wants to see open standards. It was only the existance of free-for-any-use code which lead to the global use of TCP/IP -- back when every company had their own proprietary network protocols, the only reason they added TCP/IP support in was because they could do so (almost) for free.
You've got a point here, is you assume code, instead of text, can be a standard. But the LGPL is intended for resolving these matters. The code that captures the standerd can be put into a library with a LGPL licence.
5. Anyone who wants commercial software companies to release their source code. Companies which operate by selling software are never going to GPL their code; they might, on the other hand, release it under a less restrictive license which would allow them to incorporate improvements back into their own codebase.
If a company wants to release it's code, it is not forced to use the GPL. It would be free to use a license without restrictions.
Who cares about posting porn? In the Netherlands there's a bold homo that likes to visit darkrooms and says the country is full and that Muslims have an underdeveloped culture. He's running for prime minister and getting 10-20% of the votes.
XML is a very convenient standard for defining and parsing documents. This makes it a very useful framework to extend upon (ooh, so that's where the X comes from).
Also XML is easy to validate. This should put an end to invalid web documents.
'The killer app' is not the way to make standards, since the app needs to be available for everybody you want to communicate with.

XHTML & CSS should suffice. Add to that SVG & MathML and you can send many types of documents.
The guys at w3.org have written many standards, for many types of applications.
And if that's not enough, write you own DTD and publish it.
Why not a bike with a PDA? I don't think you need a 7! computers on your vehicle. It's ridiculous and kills the environment with way too much CO2 generation.

Wow, very nice for word completion

This proves it: emperors and other leaders prefer using short commands.

Don't believe me? Check this.
Al the devices on that page have their own type of batteries inside. What we need is wind up batteries of standard sizes.

and of course SVG and MathML
Mozilla has both of these in a special build. In 0.9.9 MathML will be enabled by default.
Konqueror will have SVG support in version 3. It's in Qt 3 too!
These two technologies will finally make it possible to publish scientific articles in an easily browsable, open standard.
Q: So, Alan now Linus has merged himself in the kernel, how do you feel about running linux on Alan-Cox-on-a-chip?
Even I can do it.

Sorry for all the acronyms...
Any government should communicate in open standards only. Period.
Open source software is good at doing this and Microsoft isn't. The choice is easy.
