Walter McCrone (http://www.mcri.org/index.html) is one of the pioneers in developing microscopy as a tool of chemical analysis. One of his companies, McCrone Associates (http://www.mccrone.com/), is a recognized leader in microanalysis. I've been a customer in the past and they're superb.
McCrone and his team did the analysis of the shroud in 1979 and 1980 (http://www.mcri.org/Shroud.html). I think sometimes McCrone's strong opinions get in the way of his scientific communications, but his group did some very solid work back then to characterize the fabric and the 'image.'
For the same reason people build smokestacks...to lift pollution out of a valley. That's the Rhone Valley down there:
"Millau's 20,000 residents can also breathe easier--literally--since the bridge opening will put an end to decades of environmental damage caused by the endless lines of vehicles and traffic jams."

How could you make a case to go back to dial-up? How about ditching your phone and just using snail mail?
I have difficulty seeing how faster communication is ever bad. Not perfect, certainly, and the flaws need work, but the the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Slashdot Mirror
is here. Radio Paradise and SomaFM are pretty much all that gets played in our house and in my car, via iPod. This really sucks.

Did you hear about the geologist with tooth decay? He lost his apatite.
BOO! Thanks for the early-morning scare, Taco!
I think you'd better not open the door.
Nice unit, but did you check the price? $2995. Ten Roombas could do a whole lotta cleaning...
