Does anyone know of any reliable ways to donate money directly to the relief efforts in Japan? I'm always leery of donating to large charities in general as there is no way to know how the money gets used. Any help here is appreciated.

(http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntld_main&s_src=RSG000000000&s_subsrc=RCO_BigRedButton) The Red Cross has a specific option for donating to the relief effort in Japan.

Don't be so silly, where on earth would we get all the silicon we need to make that many solar cells?

Don't be so silly, in Earth's crust, silicon is the second most abundant element after oxygen, making up 27.7% of the crust by mass!

I think there must be more to it than that. I have had all my glassware out in the sun for hours and so far not one kilowatt. Maybe I just need to buy more glasses.

(edit: Wait, am I meant to tie them together or something?)

You just need to put your glasses on your face, then stare at the suns. And plastic lenses won't work.

Silicium, pure silicon is needed to make ultra pure silicon for semiconductors.
You just can't use glass.

An american talking about Pearl Harbor and rejoicing about the events this month should be pretty damn worried about the karma involved with ghosts of slaves and native americans that their ancestors murdered.

I'm not guilty for things that happened 60 years ago. Holy shit I don't know why the ignorant and vacuous still surprise me.

I guess they forgot about the only 2 deployed nuclear bombs in the history of planet Earth.

EDIT: I apologize. I was responding to a post on the first page, wasn't paying attention to the length of the thread. hmmm what are we talking about now?

prosthesEs, please. We've already determined that one ain't gonna do us any good, not without string.

So any of you armchair pundits actually donated anything yet?
