    I said it has it's roots in Clintons push to give everyone a house, not that it caused it - this mess is just a continuation of that same piss poor policy, of relaxed credit checks and government backing of bad debt. clearly any criticism has you foaming at the mouth, but put that aside and try finish reading my post.

    actually, it was the Clinton administrations wet dream that everyone no matter how poor should own their own house that is the root cause of the current situation. it wasn't a lack of regulation, but poorly implemented regulation allowing banks to loan to homeless jobless slobs while giving government backing to these bad loans.

    bush and co lacked the good sense to put an end to this house of cards, and poured petrol on it while playing with matches.

    And now we have hero Obama, plunging the USA into debt never seen before. what happens when china stops bailing you out?

    it's pretty straight forward. google sells ads and so does rupert, they are in direct compeition for the same dollars. he just wants to try smear them as much as he can. he knows full well that he can stop them indexing his sites (to all you moron's prattling about robots.txt).

    if google isn't in the least bit afraid of rupert and he knows this as well, it's just the game thats played at that level.

    how do you know the CO2 rise is man made in the first place, and not oh say from the oceans which are the largest stores of CO2? everyone who's sane agree's the climate changes, whats not clear is that it's man made or that we even need to do anything about it. we don't have the kind of grasp on how climate works to be able to make such massive calls - we can hypothesis, but the pro global warming camp seem to jump instantly from hypothesis to theory instantly if it fits their world view, but dicredit anything that disagree's as funded by the man.

  16. Re:Not enough indium in the world on Dow Chemical Rolling Out Solar Shingles Next Year · · Score: 1
    your understanding of resources is horribly flawed.... it doesn't matter if indium was 100 times more abundant if the processing of it isn't fesible. because indium isn't in concerntrated deposits like silver, it's horribly hard to mine. you need something else there as a sweetner to make it economical. if you bother to read the very next line in wikiperdia it states "Fewer than 10 indium minerals are known, none occurring in significant deposits"

    sure you could just strip mine bulk tonnes to get at it to make up for how low the grade is, but the environmental impact of that would cancel out the positive impact of the solar cells.

    they do mention increasingly effect recovery rates, but it can't be too effective given the indium price has risen from $94/kg to $700/kg in the last 7 years. this tells me supply isn't keeping up with demand at all. given the spot price has gone up 800%, if indium deposits really are out there you'd see a lot of announcments about projects to mine it - there aren't.
