    ... but then we don't say "metric ton" or "kilogram."

    We say ton and kilo. And that's all.

    And then it's not that confusion, at least if you're used to it since the start of your life.

    Because then "ett kilo" = weight unit, "ett hekto" = smaller weight unit, "ett gram" = 1/1000 of a weight unit ;) and finally "ett ton" = 1000 weight units!"

    Funny how the weight unit is named in kilos. Makes me wonder whatever the kilo = 1000 or kilo = weight definition came first?

    Also I can't remember any occurrences of hearing "how fast do you run one hektometer?"
    "Stereon? Den kostar två kilo fem hektokronor!"

    It's still thousands so I don't see the problem.
    I don't know what your native units are though :)

    Anyway, what I find much more disturbing is the fact that one liter of water weight 1 kilo gram (old definition)

    WTF is up with that?
    Why isn't the definition 1 gram = 1 liter of water?

    1 milliliter of water = 1 gram
    1 liter of water = 1 kilogram.
    1 kiloliter of water = 1 megagram.

    Yeah, that makes sense .. :D

    I didn't got your point, but in reality the rest garbage will be burnt and hence the plastic and cat poo will turn into energy and the cat litter won't burn so I guess that may end up in the land fill.

    Yeah, people do a piss-poor job here to.

    This region got mostly immigrants though so I assume they are just too retarded or used to the shit-hole they came from.

    If you're used to leave your trash out on the street maybe it's not so weird that you do it here to..

    They leave large items out in the parking lot for "someone else" to pick up and leave there they should be left.

    Anyhow, yeah, they suck, regardless the statistics is pretty good. But of course it would probably be even better if everyone only lived in the cities with close distances to the recycling stations and with less filthy immigrants.

    Ah, but have you talked to the people who are actually doing your "recycling"?

    No, but I've seen the number of states doing any bottle recycling at all in the US, and even less so plastic bottles if I remember accordingly. I've also seen the numbers for how many bottles got recycled in the state with the highest refund upon returning.

    I assume the numbers where quite similar for our whole country as they where for that state. Think it was well above 90%.

    Some people only want to look at cost or energy consumption, and I'm not convinced recycling fails even there, but anyhow atleast you recycle the material as well. Also who wants to throw in an estimated price for cleaning up the great pacific garbage patch? No one?

    It's quite easy to make the numbers work if you decide what you want to count or not ..

    I have no reason to speak to them. I'm quite sure it works well here.

    As far as my mac goes battery life probably got better after installing some fan setting application. I don't think it let you override the system settings as far as "slower" goes, only raise them, and it improved somewhat since that P.O.S. got really hot. It was probably called fan control or something such.

    Battery life sucked though but that's to be expected if running in a machine at 70 degrees Celsius or such ..

    Never overclocked on it though because I don't think overclocking pays for itself in most cases.
