His 2004 book "Networking Magic" went from a sales rank of 896,000 on barnesandnoble.com the morning it was published to No. 1 at 4 p.m. He has a poster in his office showing the sales chart he briefly topped.

Hey, a cheap rifle with a scope, a perch in a high building - you can be somebody for a lot longer...
mdsolar is an astonomer, not an engineer. He is a member of the Green Party.
*sound of axe grinding*
He apparently has no intention of responding to questions about his qualifications. Judging by his use of personal attacks, he's an asshat.
I wouldn't have him consult on designing a whirligig, much less any sort of power solution.
Look at his attack on a nuclear engineer in this thread.
Pah.
For the record, I'm not an engineer, either. I'm not pro-nuclear, either. I did a six-month analysis of Three Mile Island, to write code for a computer game. Interesting, but not germane for forecasting the reliability of totally different designs. Just my uninformed opinion.
Or even a Prairie Dog. From Wikipedia: "In companies that use large numbers of cubicles in a common space, employees sometimes use the term "prairie dogging" to refer to the action of standing up in one's cube to look around or converse with another employee in an adjacent cube. This action is thought to resemble prairie dogs standing in the openings of a burrow."
That makes sense. Could be the object had an icy coating, was broken up, and the outer bits, if perturbed into the right orbit, became cometary objects.
Which is why my plan is to sew gold coins into my clothing, slip across the border into Mexico, and continue to head south. Ecuador should be about right.
So what's FEMA's plan... hello? Anybody? Brownie? Oh, right.
Looking at their site, they used advanced visualization tools to... help the BBC make a documentary. They also have plans to... evacuate locally, near lava flows.
Hmm. I think I'll update my passport and buy some gold coins.

It's okay - the next release is 'Grungy Gerbil' - much more street cred.
>we can bypass all the leg humping and mindless dribble and get down to the real discussion...can Microsoft keep it up?
So much sexual innuendo - so little time.
Yeah, ancient folk wisdom.
Instead of my post I almost wrote "The nail that sticks up is the one that gets hammered down."
de Vellis: "I wanted to show that an individual citizen can affect the process."
That he did. He also demonstrated that if you stand up for something, be prepared to be slapped down.
Here's hoping he can get back up.
I know a Blackfoot and two Cherokee...

So was it good for you too?

It's a sad commentary about the Simpsons' effect on our culture - that I can only hear Apu's voice when I read this.
Been there. There was a Dilbert cartoon about a "kybard" once.

You lost me at "explan."
propoganda, explan, personaly, Tempratur, corolation, temprature.
My eyes, they burn!
You're free to do what you want.
So is Google.
Selah.
Is it true that yours is a name that a shame never has been connected with?
Oh. Harrison, not Harrigan!
Oi'll be goin' now.

>Nobody knew I was sunburned, drinking from a coconut and listening to howler monkeys as I replied to their e-mails.
If I just make myself a mug from a coconut, I'm there. I've got the cube next to the window.
*listens to the howling of middle management*
You should never read "Lord of The Rings" in a moving vehicle.

What's it called now?"
"Urectum."

Treebeard: "I am on no one's side, because nobody is on my side."
How does the "dirty snowball" composition of comets fit into this theory?
Wouldn't the result resemble asteroids rather than comets?

Now that's a letdown - I had read that far and thought I was in for some beatnik poetry...cue the bongos!

Kinda flammable, and not shiny enough. I suggest we take it one step further and use ethylene.
