And a few hours later right here on Slashdot (which IMO is *not* a social site like Facebook) comes a perfect example of why I say stay off of Facebook
Practice run for something larger later, to bad everyone in Washington is primarily concerned with "copyright infringement"
China's blue army hacked the plans, ramped up the factories and started selling the panels before the USA got their second beer open.
The current financial crisis was manufactured, not a poorly modeled prediction.
