    Thats not free trade.

    Now if the US would stop buying the stuff....
    But apparently there is a big demand for Chinese honey. Now *THAT* is free trade.

    Clean up your own dodgy people, don't foist your rules on the Chinese. You don't have to buy their stuff in the first place.

    Yes the Chinese are adding Mercury to their fake honey.

    Or not. They'd have to go to a bit of effort to do that.
    Chances are China has fewer checks and balances on heavy metals and antibiotics so the article says that the fake honey could have them in it to sensationalise the story.
    With no connection to reality of course.

    Not being able to remove it seems like a pretty stupid feature.
    I can't think of any reason why it should lock in place.

    Throw your key out the window. Probably cheaper than burning through your tank of gas.

    Erm I just installed Ubuntu on a crappy 2001 vintage Dell laptop and it works just fine.
    I'm using it without a GUI which helps but it could handle Gnome/KDE flawlessly.

    Australia does also use ethanol in fuel. None of it comes from crops grown specifically for it.

    Most of it is made from the waste material left over from crops like sugar cane.

    That doesn't affect most of the internet however.

    Yes the burners are just starting to get affordable, but is it actually too late?

    Back in the days of 20gig hard drives and 128mb flash sticks, DVD burners were a god send.
    But now we are at 3TB hard drives and 64-128gig flash sticks plus 'cloud' storage which is better for long term archives.

    Is a measly 25gig single sided going to cut it when they are just starting to get affordable?
    Some people will buy them but I suspect every single computer will not have one like they used to with DVD burners.
