YES, that was what I was thinking! Lots of the older people rolled around mercury, and you don't see them dropping like flies.
This article is of particular interest to me, because I dropped one of these things just a couple of weeks ago. I'm probably at more risk from the radiation coming out of my computer monitors than the mercury in these bulbs.
I think China, if they want to remain Communist, should shut down their internet all together. Perhaps they should also limit computer usage rights to government, science, and the commercial business zones. Then, they would have total control over the young people once again, educating them only with propaganda filled text books and nothing else. People could also be imprisoned for even hinting at something that the government does not consider patriotic. Personal websites may be banned and consolidated into one big Facebook style website with strict controls. Imagine being forced to make pro Communist remarks through out your blog. Perhaps there will even be a quota for internet users... something like - "you must say something good about the PRC or Hu every 3 days in order to keep your PatriotBook website." The result of painful restriction would also work in favor of the government, as fewer people will be inclined to use it. Both ways they win... and soon, provided they decide to stay connected with the world, they will own most of the internet and be able to force their will on everyone.
FUD is fun!
Sell all remaining assets and close down. I'd rather the company go up in a huge explosion than have it choke to death from the government backed hands of a competitor. OH! Forget selling assets. Just blow it up!
I think China was setting up another root. You'll be no more secure using it though... and perhaps less so. And that's assuming you could even use it from outside the country.
There's a lot of monkeys here on Earth. Many many many different species of monkeys.
Life on Earth arose and took over the planet. You've got millions of different animals all over the surface of the Earth. Wouldn't it seem likely that a planet with a similar composition, in a similar distance from a similar star, grow life of it's own?
Wouldn't it be cool to find semi-intelligent space 'monkeys' on another planet? Wouldn't it be even cooler to find super-intelligent space 'monkeys'? Doesn't that seem possible, or even LIKELY that a super-intelligent space 'monkey' exists? Heck, it doesn't even have to be monkey like... there could be super-smart space manatees... or rock monsters...
We think we're special, but we're really not. We're just space monkeys.
No no no, no Nazis. Communists! It'll be the 1950's, and the greatist threat to America is the Soviet Union. Also remember that Indiana Jones is not a super spy or anything stupid like that, so he won't be fighting the Russians directly. Instead Indiana will run into them while searching for some amazing artifact, and he'll have to use his wits and his wip to get out of the situation alive.

In the case of Windows, things are so bad that they will have to start fresh.
I can prevent it by not using the internet.

You mean this hasn't happened yet?

Have 10 of them, and fire 100 times a day.

I'm sorry, but that's just silly. I remember those things, they were awesome.
Politicians would sooner have another quagmire in the middle east than secure the continued function of our Democracy.
Amen.
Yeah, he definitly should have said Windows ME. Windows 98 was the best thing Microsoft ever did- sad yes, but true.
... and the creation of new patents!
