...Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation decreed that every country has sovereignty over the airspace above its territory, which includes a bonus 12 miles of adjacent water. Airspace stops short of outer space, which begins at about 55 miles, according to some experts (there's no official definition). And no, you own nothing beyond the 9-ft. ceilings of your apartment...

A steel frame keeps the unit sturdy, and aluminum or copper heat sinks prevent the cpu from overheating. The outer plastic case can be recycled to make everything from pothole filler to pencil holders. Even the cords dangling from the back have rich copper wiring that can be reincarnated as pipes, pans or furniture...
