as selling bottled water is very profitable, so canned scented air should be great.
They just suck up the CO2 and leave the O2 behind. Of course, once they do then we lose the insulation value of the CO2, radiate more heat into space, and enter another little ice age. We probably don't have enough fossil fuels left to pump enough CO2 back into the atmosphere to drive the temperature back up. We'll be forced to burn the remaining forests to keep warm, assuming they haven't already died due to CO2 rates lower than they've adapted to. The resulting unsecured soils will shortly erode; combined with the lower temperatures, agricultural yields drop below what's necessary to support the population. Food riots soon compensate, but by then Western Civ as we know it has been reduced to levels where Eskimos are able to leverage their cold weather skills to the point they are regarded as gods.
I've said too much already; Lucas has already optioned this and will be upset that I've ruined the trailers.

The Patent on Dehydrated Cans of Water.
It's absolutely brilliant all you need do is just add water after you rip the top off the can. Bottles are out because the Plastics used to make them require Raw Materials best converted to pumping the CO2 into the Atmosphere. Instead of making plastics we could make much more CO2 if we used the Oil used in Plastic Manufacture to drive Internal Combustion Engines.
While we could make Glass Bottles they are way too fragile and the people buying them are likely to cut themselves on the broken bottles and sue me for their injuries.

Losing Geekend sucks big time. Sorry to see it go. Didn't they fire you once already Jay?
.... I go as well, and I can only assume a lot of other people too.
There is no actual reason for geekend to be shutdown and I for one am tired of the race to the bottom that just about every American corporation - including Techrepublic it seems, is engaged in.

... I see this as good a reason as any before. Don't stop Geekend. Seriously, most tech sites are as dry and dull as the next one, but these articles give a much needed comic relief that, though my clients tend to give plenty of, is still much, much needed! So for the sake of the loud, whiny few... keep it! 
Definitely must survive. Its the only newsletter I never delete and I've read every single issue since I registered a couple of years ago on TR.
