9. Liftport failed to provide material information regarding the company including, but not limited to: financial statements; use of proceeds; projected costs to develop and build the space elevator; general risk factors related to the space technology; and specific risk factors related to space elevator production.

Remember, this data can only get out per the size of CERNs Internet pipe(s) - so even if they have, say 5 10Gig-Ethernet connections - that's not much effect on big OC backbones. I'm just guessing, but I don't think CERN has HTTP/FTP servers right on a OC Internet backbone, or the server structure (think magnitudes greater than Google's) to drive the data.
I do not buy anything made in China. Its not easy to find out what parts of a laptop of computer are made in China, so my plan isn't foolproof, but it's what I know that I can do to stop support for the Chinese government.

I get pre-owned notebooks and parts used off eBay / Craigslist. Even though I know Thinkpads have been made in China for many years, I feel it's a pretty good balance between me getting a good product and money *not* going overseas.
