    @Sticks Calhoun: Very little oil money = lots of money relative to any other good

    All of their capital, originally, came from oil. They were smart enough to invest it. Not that all their investments were good.

    @D.E.P.C.: Yes, but my point was that the oil money has pretty much already run out for Dubai.

    GDP BREAKDOWN - The non-oil sector contributed 96.8 percent of GDP in 2006 and oil sector 3.2 percent. Among non-oil sectors the biggest contribution came from wholesale and retail trade (34.6 percent), manufacturing (15.6 percent), real estate (15.2 percent) and financial sector (9.3 percent).

    @Sticks Calhoun: We aren't in disagreement! I was just pointing out that their "very, very little oil money," combined with unique investments, are what lead to them being mega-rich. I was not taking the position of the person you were disagreeing with.

    I don't know what pre-man-made-islands-and-7-star-hotel Dubai's GDP was comprised of, but I'm pretty sure it was primarily oil.

    "The stained glass industry could be due for a big boon."

    ....You know how folks get all excited when there's a turn of the millennium, or a certain comet passes by? You know one of those "this is a once-in-several-lifetimes event" kinda things?

    There need to be days to recognize sentences like this the same way.

    Beautiful tones. If only more colors were effective — combine to make a spectrum. :) I'd be fond of green + pink. An entire rainbow would appear like Daft Punk/James White of SignalNoise.

    I'm sure I've used them to make a toothbrush holder out of at school...
    In fact I'd love to get a few panels of these n have a tweak about with them, could make something very pretty compared to the current black one.
    Also surely if they each only absorb part of the spectrum if you lay them on top of each other they'll get most of the spectrum? Or is my colour theory off today?

    By final set, does this mean that nothing else is going to be added or that no more solar panels are going to be added? Maybe we can add a few more segments to get this thing up to number 1.
