Why would you sequester the carbon? Grass grows, absorbs carbon. Grass gets cut, mulches, rots. Grass releases carbon. Hence, the carbon cycle. You're not *adding* additional carbon to the cycle, so it's ok.
Agreed. A better solution would be electric mower robots http://www.friendlyrobotics.com/ charged from solar (or other low/zero-carbon energy source). Or no grass at all.
Net-zero carbon output. Fossil fuels release CO2 that has been trapped for quite some time. Goats are releasing CO2/methane that was recently stored as energy in grass.
That's like saying "I don't drive a semi to work, therefore no one is using them", while neglecting to understand that almost all goods are shipped via semi trailer.
Keep in mind that Linux is the OS used by Google across hundreds of thousands of their servers. How many people a day use their search, gmail, maps, and other services? Linux use is up, just not in the traditional desktop sense. In another year or two, you could probably get away with a slim Linux image that boots into Firefox, and use that for your basic needs if the work/home environment allowed for it.
You are aware that Oracle is the company behind BTRFS and Oracle now owns Sun and ZFS?
I am aware. Also, Oracle licensed BTRFS under the GPL from the start. Makes it a lot easier to integrate with Linux when you don't have to make poor technical choices due to licensing issues.
They are working on BTRFS, but will also soon be the owners of ZFS... What's to stop them re-releasing ZFS under compatible terms, or even merging the two filesystems?
Nothing I suppose, although I would prefer something as important as a filesystem be GPL'd just like the kernel, and not tied to any one company.
And what happens? Someone takes the features they need from a non-GPL program/filesystem/etc and creates a GPL version. Yea, great going there with using an incompatible license. Feel free to use a license incompatible with the GPL. Also feel free to whine when someone replaces the functionality of whatever you've written with a GPL version, which is then included in Linux distros or the kernel where huge amounts of users get access to it.
Unfortunately, Sun had no plans on licensing ZFS so it could run on Linux. Will Oracle change it's mind? Probably not, hence the reason btrfs is reproducing features of ZFS.
You willing to shell out the additional cash every month that trickles to the companies that will be shelling out the capital expenditure to upgrade those bottlenecks? If not, quit whining.
Funny story. I was at the library the other day looking for a very specific electronics book and passed a teen with a laptop, and external hard drive, and a stack of DVDs. As I walked past I glanced and saw him him running DVD Decryptor while he surfed the web. I said "Don't fill that drive all in one place chief." He just laughed as I kept walking.

This is true, unless the goats are nearby and can be walked there, or the truck is diesel and runs on biodiesel.
Which isn't illegal. If I want to target customers of a certain company, I'm free to do so. Nothing illegal about it.

Where's the "-1, tired and worn out" mod option?
Someplace in the US handling data from the Large Hadron Collider =)
I have to say, I love postgresql. We use it to store hundreds of gigabytes of metadata for our 17 petabyte disk/tape storage system at my day gig.
Will they differentiate between a CD and a CD-R/RW?
You're aware that Medicare has the lowest admin costs in the industry (even lower than private health insurance firms), correct? Retard.
While The Pirate Bay doesn't actually host anything (only the torrent file), I don't see them providing logs to anyone.

Thank you!
It'd be nice on the blackberry if I could silence SMS messages from certain sources but allow from other numbers.
kill -9?
It's why a man that builds his own hotrod is far, FAR, more respected than the rich guy that bought his.
Although I would argue that each gets laid about the same, but for different reasons (and by different types of women).
I can get books electronically. I have yet to be able to do the same with food products. =)

Like Firefox? They've perfected the way they do updates.
