[sdiy] OT : environmental cost of computer chips

[Fredrik Carlqvist]

So, if I buy a computer every second year, I pollute like
driving a car for maybe 10 hours. The chip is 350 times more
dangerous to the environment than the car.  Because it
weighs less. 

They must have taken the university class Evil Algebra 2. I
missed that one.
