There aren't many inelastic systems in nature like the example you have given.

We know that water and plants will absorb co2 faster if there is more available.

Please state examples of how we have removed 'carbon sinks'

I've programmed in both C and C++ and I've used PHP GTK and I'd choose X86 Assembler to build a GUI before I choose PHP for desktop GUI development. And all of the benefits you mentioned are almost completely alleviated with Boost

It's a fatfinger by TFA writer. $fp doesn't exist, it should be $output.

There is the PHP GTK project but I'm a PHP developer and even I'm wondering why you would choose PHP for developing a GUI desktop app.

There have been "sneak peeks" at PHP6 for a long time. This is by no means early.

Most online retailers hate New York because we have horrible taxes, I believe NewEgg stopped requiring users to pay the tax in NY which caused them some issues. This will only exacerbate the intertube hatred of NY

SK writes: "A flying carpet, just like the one in Walt Disney's creation 'The Arabian Nights' may soon be a reality. Laminarayan Mahadevan along with his colleagues at Harvard studied the aerodynamics of a flexible, rippling sheet moving through a fluid. Based on their study, the researchers came to the conclusion that making a carpet that would stay aloft in air may be possible. Mahadevan says that to stay afloat in air, a sheet measuring about 10 centimetres long and 0.1 millimetres thick would need to vibrate at about 10 hertz with amplitude of about 0.25 millimetres."

An anonymous reader writes: Security Researcher Chris Boyd discovered a Habbo Hotel hacking tool and traced it back to the creator, a 13 year old boy apparently well known for his wannabe hack and phish antics. He then uncovered the boys main forum, seen to be distributing professional phishing kits and hacking tools. Asking the public what to do with these kids, the verdict was unanimous — take the lot of them out. How was this achieved? By pretending to be Batman and making them cry for 14 hours — before finishing things off with the killing blow.
