    If it's on Penn & Teller it must be true ...

    So, figure out the cost to clear out all the plastic particles in the pacific, good luck have fun!

    Without actually knowing I assume our system may go around, but it probably depend on scale. Built for everyone and used by many = better margins than if only a few actually use it or mess up a lot.

    Too lazy to check any info, but it may be possible, maybe I should mail and ask how the economical balance turns out.

    For aluminum as mentioned but probably other sorts of metal and also glass I assume it works just fine.

    Plastic I have no idea but it's a pain in the environment obviously, add chloride from PVC and estrogen-like softeners and such (some plastic got cadmium, lead and such in it to doesn't it?) and it probably gets worse. Also I guess it save resources.

    Over in the US you had 11 states with a recycling system for bottles, 6 for plastic ones, 1 of them gave quite a high fee and had over 90% of the bottles recycled.

    Looking at billions of plastic bottles per year that will make a difference.

    Over here in Sweden a glass bottle has 0.5 or if it's 0.6 SEK deposit, aluminum cans 1 SEK, 1.5 liter PET bottles 2 SEK, and some used to have 4 SEK.

    And I'm not trolling. It's a fact you suck.

    We got systems for things dangerous to the environment such as paint, glue, solvents and such, batteries, florescent lamps, regular lamps, electronics, glass, metal, cardboard and paper packaging, newspapers and paper, hard and soft plastics (earlier separated though soft where often just burned so you could just have thrown it in the regular waste bin), compost and then whatever else in the regular waste bin.

    (Of those I only got compost, regular waste, cardboard, paper, clear and colored glass, metal, plastic and batteries just outside the building, for electronics and dangerous stuff such as paint and florescent lights you've got to drop them at another place.)

    Anyhow, saving oil, mining less, put less crap in the air, sea and soil, chop down less trees (not like we lack those in Sweden though, but there are better uses for them) got benefits to.

    If you weren't as clueless you would had moderated my troll-posts insightful instead. Maybe in 10-20 years.

    Nah, time will tell I suppose. But haven't it been said it's already slowed down somewhat?

    If it slowed down because we got a better climate even without it I guess it wouldn't matter? I mean in case there's some temperature balance thing. Time will tell. But please no more cold :D

    I wonder if Norway will claim more of the area, us Swedes are so lame. Norway most likely already is (or becoming) the worlds best place to live in. Major screw-up by us. Time to move across the border =P

    GULEBÖJ o lusekofta!

    Of course it's human made.

    The question is rather should we try to act against it in any other way than trying to make our impact smaller (or even more stupid trying to act in a way which let us do "more evil things" / have more of a buffer?)

    imho: No.

    (Make less of an impact? Yes.)

    In other news wtf is it with you Americans and people like those damn tea house jerks?
    "Oh we shouldn't care about anything, more money for everyone!"

    GL HF. Jerks.

    You're already the most filthy people on the planet. Get with the times and take some responsibility.
    Start by separating your trash and recycle things (the only things I actually throw away is cat litter and those ear cotton things), recycle your plastic bottles (or drink regular water ..) instead of just throw everything in the same place or later into the pacific. Get smaller cars and stop bitching about how you may have to sacrifice something instead of remaining the biggest jerks of the planet. You will still be able to keep the title for long even if you start, don't worry about it.

    Nah, I would like to say "0" because I'm not experienced with anything.

    Swedish gymnasium: C/C++, HTML, Perl, Visual Basic
    University: C, C++, Java, m68hc12 assembler, lisp, SQL, ANN course (in matlab?)

    And then some PHP, awk and such I guess. But poor at everything because I don't use anything or do anything :)

    That really isn't much of a problem though since I could easily learn it =P, also here in Sweden people could just pay if it's 20 or 25% of my salary and get some social fees excluded to I think. So even if I did get a salary I would be more or less for free.

    So if nothing else they could tell me to re-read a C book in 2-4 weeks and then learn to do whatever they want for 2-3 month at the location ;)

    The thing to keep in mind, is you still need a form of energy to compress the air

    No shit.

    Usually we're talking electricity

    What else would you suggest? In the case of that vehicles they used wind electricity.

    But the huge advantage is most likely less advanced technology than batteries and electronic motors, lower cost, more reliable, ...

    Granted, this tech + a huge power plant is probably still more efficient and green.

    Over here our electricity is almost 50/50 water + nuclear.

    the real ticket would be if they combined this with a solar-powered compressor that could run while the car was sitting out in the parking lot for 8 hours, and in the driveway for another 3 or 4 (plug-in ability is for a back up). For the daily commute and around-town trips for the average person, I bet this would be plenty usable.

    Yeah, would be cool, eventually better with electronic motors then though. Depends on the batteries.
