I'm guessing that they're waiting until mid-November to do the serious
layoffs.

...and that's what you can expect from trying to run the
world's biggest economy on unicorn farts and wishful
thinking.
Looks like a better track record than most venture capitalists. I
understand they are happy with one in ten going the distance.

You understand wrong. Where I live, I know of 2 venture captalist groups
that aren't happy unless they have a 5 out of 10 positive ROI. 1 in 10
wouldn't fly for long with my groups. They really do their homework before
parting with the money. Obam-bam has a lot of friends needing capital;
unfortunately they are
poor businessmen or outright thieves. He really needs to pick his buds with
a little more care. After all, it is OUR money. Does anyone really know
where the money went at Solyndra? I for one would like to know how MY money
was pissed away.

website. Cylindrical cells? There's simply no way they'd EVER
compete. Flat panels are half the price or less, smaller, easier to
make,and easier to use.
