CEV to be made commercially available

I don't rely on Samizdara for my "view of the 'British mainstream.'" Why would you believe such an absurd thing? Oh. Right. The reading comprehension thing again. Yes, you're suffering from it. He never said he believed it. He posed a hypothetical. Then why pose the hypothetical? |

Not all of them, occasionally, like Rand, he makes some very valid points. But, generally, yes, the guy is weird. Although, not to rain on Rand's ranting - Pat brought up the subject of how weird the Samizdata crowd were. I was merely agreeing with him. Dave |

Which is the MPD victim? Or do I need to adjust the gamma on the picture? /dps |

O'Neill" made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Then why pose the hypothetical? Seems obvious to me. He wanted to tell us that he considers the views of Perry to be pretty bizarre. Not all of them, occasionally, like Rand, he makes some very valid points. But, generally, yes, the guy is weird. Although, not to rain on Rand's ranting - Pat brought up the subject of how weird the Samizdata crowd were. I was merely agreeing with him. Pat was describing (out of total ignorance, based only on the picture), how "weird" I and the other two gentleman in the picture were. I'd be astonished if Pat reads Samizdata enough to know how "weird" that blog is. Here is the quote: Rand is the dazed looking guy on the left standing next to the crazy looking guy on the right. That's from this webpage BTW-http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/cat_antics_parties.html This impresses my as one strange group. If he was referring to Samizdata, and not the people in the picture (one of whom is indeed me, one of whom is the author of The Anglosphere Challenge, and one of whom, as I said, is a current Associate Administrator of NASA), he certainly had little to base it on, if he was going on a single post of pictures from a party. If you read Samizdata regularly, you're certainly entitled to think them "weird," but it's kind of stupid and nutty to claim that I think that Perry's views are the British mainstream's. But then, we have to consider the source... Of course, when he gets out of the hospital (as I hope he does soon, in good health, unlike his wishes for George W. Bush, who he hopes will die from choking on a pretzel), he is welcome to correct me. |

I saw 2 people too, at least in that picture. But I'm not responding to Rand for the rest of the year, so I couldn't be arsed asking. Glad you did. Dave |

Sorry, wrong picture. I was referring to the previous one that Pat posted from that site, and confused the two posts. |
