yes that's a constraint, but all you need to do is look for a suitable plant for that environment

You make a valid point. A large percentage of the carbon absorbed is placed back into the air (I would venture a guess of 80% since about 80% of the tree is above the ground). But this solution is a stop gap until other means of carbon reduction can be implemented. Also, if tree farming is used for crop's IE: wood products with a life span of 30 years, then we have locked in carbon for; growth time + usable life span of products.

I, myself, have planted trees all my life, and my dream retirement goal is to create a forest somewhere near the Mississippi River. Lots of trees, all different breeds, providing a rich environment for wildlife. Nothing fancy, lot's of southern pine ( that can be used for telephone poles, or sunk in the mud to support buildings in Louisiana ). Some hardwoods, and if possible, some trees that grow very fast for natural wind breaks.

With over 1 million users on Slashdot, I would venture that if we all planted 1 tree in our life time, the net effect would be in excess of 20 million tons of CO2 removed in our lifetime. While that is just a drop in the bucket, it's a start. I recently read that your basic tree removes in the range of 30 to 40 tons of co2 over 30 years. So I ask you all to plant a tree, think before traveling to find the most effective fuel route, recycle both sides of your paper if possible (I save 20 reams of paper every year that way) and use your bikes if you can.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the memory...LOL
but I have to ask,
Why not a Gosub, I recall, I did everything with gosub's so I could keep the most used code near the top and the few used routines on the bottom?

No, it's crappy, like riding the subway back in 1978 in NYC, but not as smelly.
But what people have learned is that you can operate on a schedule and have relaxful time for yourself.
Trust me, driving in southern Florida is a horrible thing, best way to describe it, You will get hit if you don't pay attention ALL the time, in California you only get hit when you do something dumb. It's a stressful drive here. I would rather be stuck on the 405 doing 20, or on the LIE doing 15, then doing 30 to 95.

See and that is what is happening in the world, Dr Dobb's was a general knowledge publication, where you learned and gained insight from your peers. Now everyone is focused on a solution. Where just 20 years ago, 20 different solution would happen for a problem, now we just see 2 or 3, lack of creativity.

So as I will advise you all, read, and read a lot, and about stuff you never tried. You would be surprised at the solution you will create.

I knew, before even looking at your link, it was a Commodore platform. V-20, I had the C-64, and yes, knowing how to use the least amount of memory was just the start. Sprites and all the fun, tape drive, saving, until I bought the disk drive. (It was 8,1 to save right)? I think it was the most amazing platform ever, and it was the best investment of $ 896.00 ( on sale that September or October 1981 or 82 ) from my newspaper route.

the real simple solution is a simple increase in the gas tax by a thumping amount, hurts like heck, but it will reduce the load, make it so that more efficient forms of transport work.
In Miami, when gas broke to 4.00 per gallon, I would notice that the trains were fuller, then when it got to 4.25 it started to get packed. It peaked and now people have come to like the trains. We are now just full. It's nice to know that every day, maybe 500 to 1000 cars are not on the road.

Yes, you do, that's 100% correct.
As a home owner, you sometimes choose a street where there is minimal traffic to enjoy that, the lack of traffic.

The recent solution I've seen effective is speed bumps, and they were tall one's. Keeps traffic at bay on one street.
Another is, speed limits that are enforced, sometimes severely (IE: out of the car, roadside safety check... )

I've seen 1 street block entirely reduced to 10MPH due to a family of deaf children, I bike past it every weekend, I don't think that anyone drives on that block.
 

While I don't know where you are located, the word "right's" in a business sense, might not be qualified to use in the EU. They have different rules that they play by. Googles stance, of "it's my ball and I'm leaving the game" might be a legit Right in the USA, but in the EU it might not be.

This action might be a painful lesson for both the EU and Google. Google's Spanish subsidiary might be forced into action that is unwelcome ( I believe it happened in google china ), the EU might have to intervene and say a business has the permission to go out of business or you will have to offer it a subsidy, and I don't think google would want a subsidy since that would disclose traffic information.

Well, this rule seems smart "It is illegal to rent out DVDs/BRs not specially licensed to that purpose"
Makes perfect business sense that I own a dvd store, I rent that copy out 100 time, why not pay the artist 100 time ( like a movie theater )
It's leveraging the investment. Sound solid, and I happen not to like that idea, but again, it makes perfect business sense.

You could be right, but the problem is ... How do you legally sell them the fish.
that's the big problem, how to sell it, document it, and track it.

In NJ and FL (those are the 2 that I know the laws in), you cannot sell your catch.
you can bring your catch and trade for smoked fish in NJ (well that was up to 2002 when I left)
Drop off 10lbs of fish, take 3lbs. Home.
In FL. You can bring the fish to a restaurant to be cooked for you.

Tracking the fish for non-human consumption might lead to better management of the carp, and lead to other discoveries.

See, a person that is making an effort, While I know it's not a lot, it's a trickle.
Back when I fished freshwater, I would sponsor a fishing trip to the local lake for the boy club of America and my friends tackle store.
cost almost nothing, and introduced fishing to a group of about 15 kids.

if you don't mind sharing your spot, you should post it around,
less of these fish the better we all might be.

note: even if they are an invasive species, permits might be required to sell them to a processor.
here in florida I can not fish for drum without one, and that's off the surf.

While I know the above is all for a good laugh, but there is a small solution to the carp problem that could stem the flow. Figure out if the fish is any good for pet food. Then, if it's viable, legalize the sale of it to processors for non-commercial fisherman. Once a fisherman knows he can legally sell his catch, he's going to think, fuel is paid from the processor and I've got myself a vacation.
While not the greatest solution, it's a simple and fun way to slow the fish down from crossing over into the lakes. Seems like a low risk solution.
Also, while not a common food here in the USA, I ate carp a while back. It tasted fine, no bones to complain about, maybe it could turn into a retail fish for consumers.

While it's not Math, we will add more knowledge to the simulations, we will learn a lot of the bounces, which should teach something about gravity bouncing on asteroids. We just might discover that the "dust" was really frozen solid, we might learn how to glide better.
They did something that was very improbable (speed matching at amazing speeds) which now makes it possible. I can not wait for the future

The problem is: we are talking about a design area of 1995 to 2002, with flight in 2004.
So, what we can do now, is all based on what we have learned.
All your ideas are valid and we will be better at it in the future.
