the key comment in the original post is "forums where cool kids hang around". well in case you haven't noticed, these cool kids are probably not even 1% of the total software engineer/developer population out there. and i would thus question the whole premise of this article. its based on a number that, as we say in physics, infinitesimally small and can be safely ignored for all practical puropses! :-)

maybe the rare earth elements are not that rare after all. people just didn't look hard enough. we should all thank china for forcing the issue! :-)

read it like this, "was" moderately successful, "now will be" a total failure! ;-)

i have been reading slashdot since '98 or '99 i think... and this is story is nothing short of depressing! however, change is but natural and i guess we all have to accept it as a matter of fact! so long, cmdrTaco... i wish you a happy future! :-) i always thought the cmdr was a short for "commander" and he was some retired military guy who had a keen eye for news/headlines, till i read about his proposal to kathleen... lol. so long and thank you! :-)

am surprised they didn't do this earlier? the great western powers have got all sorts of robotic devices and planes and tanks to kill people, couldn't they have given japan a couple to help out people in need? oh but then, that wouldn't earn them dollars would it! ok my bad!
