Noted thank you TJ, but unworthy of reply [mainly due to being wrong, but also trivial and also mere sandpit insults]. <message to maurice> TD-SCDMA is more interesting. But you prefer to lecture me about envy which you seem to think I experience, which is amusing [though you are right it is a Biblical level personal failing]. As for London Olympics outshining Beijing - as I described = easy. Do it all digitally, [see previous post] and hold some of it on Mars. Meanwhile, I was recommended by PM to trawl through some of ElM's zone which I did, being amused by you, Haim and the crowd [I have ElM on 'ignore' as he has me, so I have missed his contributions along with most of the posts]. But cutting to the chase and to save you 4 hours of searching, a nuclear attack on Beijing seems just the thing to clear the air. It worked wonders on Japan when they went on militaristic murderous rampage. As you say, the chromo-lattice is similar with China and human nature rules, so you say, so the reaction should be similar. We should not dismiss such ideas out of hand, just as China hasn't dismissed out of hand murder of Taiwanese should they fly the coop, just as Russia and Georgia have conducted military negotiations in recent days [under cover of the Olympic Games]. Such a nuclear attack would make great TV. Heck, to save on costs it could be done in Weta Workshops facilities. It seems such a waste for umpty thousands and umpty megatons to sit around invented, built and never used. The builders obviously planned on them being used. Let's hope those who own them do a display and preferably keep them clear of innocent bystanders who wish merely to enjoy the spectacle on a pay per view basis. If China would get with the EV-DO/OFDMA pathway to the future, then locals across China could enjoy the action via MediaFLO anywhere they are at the time. TD-SCDMA is worse than useless. I hope you got the good posts regarding the situation and aren't just obsessing about sandpit issues, like taunting the departed Zim the Amazing. Did you see my $20 million trades and about $40 million profits so far? Hmmm, I wasn't going to reply and now I have. Got things to do so must go. There's not much point preaching to the willfully deaf. Mqurice PS: It did seem an odd method to improve China's population's standard of living by all-out war. I suspect CDMA/OFDMA would be a more reliable method. I've put considerable money and effort into that method.

TJ, Every Olympics has its share of controversies: budget overruns, doping, revealing costumes, undignified poses, bad judging, etc. Overall, I think the Chinese Olympics are splendid and the air brushing at the opening ceremony is just an amusing footnote. ;<) But here is something of greater substance that should concern China. See the part in bold... DEALTALK-US coal assets attracting overseas buzz Message 24845402 Investment bankers say Indian firms are very active in the U.S. M&A market. India is short of coking coal and keen to aquire it wherever possible around the world. "You only have to look at the steel deals and see that the Indians have been quite acquisitive. The coal story is rather unique. They either want coking coal for steelmaking - and they have steelmaking facilities in the US and they're looking for coking coal to feed those plants - or thermal coal, which is a difficult market." Indian companies such as Vedanta, Essar and Tata Steel have already made M&A inroads into the United States. One Asian investment banker said the Indians were taking advantage of Beijing's timidity about U.S. acquisitions following the failure by Chinese oil firm CNOOC to take over Unocal in 2005. While Communist China had got hung up on political worries, buyers from democratic India had no such problems. "It's an interesting twist on the great emerging superpower rivalry that everyone's enjoying watching," he said.

TJ it's amusing that you snipe at me from the cover of ElM's zone so that I can't reply. Some would call you heroic for such courage, hiding behind Mummy's skirts so to speak. China snipes at children escaping from Tibet too. It must be a national characteristic to shoot in the back. Doubly amusing as you say that it is I who are sniping. Fortunately, up down, sideways, banned or not, it is all good fun. Interestingly soldiers from actual wars seem to often think of their time in the army as the best of times. My preference is cyberwars with digital nuclear megatonnage on Beijing's digitalized Olympic Games and lip synched digital child singer with knock-off brands. It's like lucid dreaming, or more worrying, schizophrenia with hallucinatory sight and sound. Recommendation -= double up on gold, and borrow some of those US$ to double up again. There are a LOT of said US$ looking for debtors to give them a home, so you will be welcome. Gung Hog, Mqurice PS::ooops, checked gold and now at $790. Lucky lucky lucky. Bargain basement buying. Those in at $1000 will really be thrilled now to be offered a 20% discount to load up some more to get a 25% gain back to $1000. .
