I disagree with the 2nd criteria. Going back to the original conception of an idea can give considerable insight, even if some modern specificities may be absent. Newtonian mechanics still works just fine for many purposes and provides a base to built higher concepts upon.
I would prefer that some of their patents be revoked rather than fine them. I think it would send a much clearer message and also have useful side effects to the general population.
For others, it can be an utter nightmare. Like an IBM I worked on. Getting at the connector required removing 27 screws, of 6 different sizes (though at least all were standard philips heads). Though having the entire shop manual readily downloadable from IBM was useful.
The highest concentration found in the water (59 micrograms per litre, so 180micrograms per day assuming 3 litres per day) is about 3 orders of magnitude below the therapeutic range (15-20mg per day).
FYI, lithium is not a heavy metal. It's the lightest metal, and 3rd lightest element, just behind hydrogen and helium.
That said, yes, it is quite toxic at the higher end of the therapeutic range, but the bottom end of the dosing range is about 5 orders of magnitude above the highest levels found in this (assuming an consumption of average of 3 litres per day), so I would think the toxic results from the naturally occurring lithium would be negligible.
Reminds me of when I worked for the Saskatchewan government. Every piece of hardware has a "Property of GOS" sticker on it, with an item # and barcode. The various people (Crown prosecutors, etc.) who needed to disable the camera on their provided phone/blackberry/etc. would simply have that sticker over the camera lens.
Neither is ours. The only government owned media is CBC (and whatever each province has, like SCN here in Saskatchewan) and attempts to censor it tend to be dealt with harshly in the court of public opinion.
Another point is that their usual "Settle out of court for $X or we will bankrupt you in legal fees trying to fight it, even though your case may repel high velocity lead" tactic won't work here due to the loser-pays (aka English Rule) system.
I haven't seen any 100Mbit ethernet interfaces that can actually hit 100Mbit of data transfer. They usually tap out in the low-90s, even on fairly short runs, due to overhead.
And don't forget about routers, switches, and hubs.
NASCAR is interesting when they're on the road courses (particularly Watkins Glen and I wish they would do another race at Suzuka), but I agree that the left-turns-only stuff is fantastically boring.
You mention global air travel but I submit that air travel doesn't involve sharing an entire ship full of passengers for a cross Atlantic trip that could take 8-9 days to several weeks.
And I submit that there are a hell of a lot more people taking planes now than there were taking ships back then.
You forgot to clarify "tracking", such as "so called tracking", etc... because calling what the USPS does "tracking" is highly inaccurate.
I've gotten the same "tracking" from UPS and Fedex, unless their ground shipping is actually done via hypersonic jet, as I've seen the tracking go from Concord, ON, to Regina, SK (about 2700KM/1700 miles) within 20 minutes.
And Fedex is fucking lazy. They punt and send it via Canada Post before it gets within 100 miles of me (and then I have to go pick it up at the post office 2 or 3 days later). UPS at least gets it to the nearest city on their own.
The only tracking I've seen that is worth a damn is Canada Post's Xpresspost and Purolator (and Purolator can actually figure out where I live and drop off/pick up stuff from my door, something UPS and Fedex have never managed).

What's that? ;)

Definitely not to be confused with the Merck fake
I think that was his point. They're only one word apart, and thus easily confusable, and this could be damaging to their reputation.

The outlook junk filter has always been nuts. It still filters even when you disable the damn thing.
Correction : that should be 3 orders of magnitude, not 5.

They weren't banned. They just had their tax-exempt status revoked.
Did you miss the subject line of the post? He's referring to Micheal Geist as the breath of fresh air, and this moronic report as the pollution.

I have your killer app right here.

Sumatra PDF is also available in a portable format.
Doesn't Apple have their own non-adobe pdf reader built into OS X?
They have.
