Be fair, it was hardly a great invention -- just one more "touch-and-the-buzzer-goes-off" toy in an era where they were proliferating like rabbits.
He did a few days not-too-creative work, and he was well paid for it.
I dare say most of us do more creative work every week. Should we get paid millions every time we use our brains well, or is that what we're already getting paid for?

He wasn't working for them, and nobody paid him for any work. He sold off his idea but didn't think to incorporate any future for it. He's not complaining, I'm not complaining, just pointing out a what could have been if he'd had the foresight to ask for something based on future revenue.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

OK, but if I ever have to pay for an operation, I want the same level of publicity and contributions.

Exactly!
And if everyone were to get rich for not doing much, money would devalue so much that the price of everything would shoot up out of control, no-one would be able to afford anything, Germany would invade Poland, etc.

Went to The Beer Factory[^] last Saturday and brewed a keg of Traditional Ale[^] (scroll down to #672) which is their take on Big Rock Traditional Ale[^], only they added an extra 1% of alcohol to help me out.
On the day of the party I go down and pick up the keg in one of their customised Sulo Bins[^] that holds the keg, CO2 bottle and has the tap for pouring out the front.
Called one of my customers (that just happens to be a pub) and have ordered 24 schooner glasses. They should be in by the end of next week. These will be stored in and then cycled through the freezer throughout the party ensuring a crisp cold beer. Should be in the mid to hih 30's so will be required.
Anyone who finds themselves on the glorious slopes of Mount Druitt around lunchtime Saturday the 15th of November, drop through for a rather large piss up and barbeque.
Poker (everything but that gay Texas Arse Pokem variety) will be running for as long as I can focus on it.

Is DD still moaning about having leprosy, bird flu, swine flu, H7N1, Ebola, and a teeny tiny cold? I'd check FB / Twatter myself but it make me itch all over when I go there.
Or has he succumbed to the Luton Complaint (other than "Oh Gawd, I'm in Luton") and forgotten how to use a computer he hasn't stolen?

Oh, congratulations!
Nice to see someone who still at least tries to fix things these days...

Hopefully a better photo of the repair will surface so the rivet pattern match can be conclusive.
I remember as a crew chief on a helicopter when we had field repairs or repairs as a result of scheduled maintenance a technician would show up and do the repairs on site with tools he brought along.
That would make the rivet pattern fairly distinct.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

I doubt it - they found the metal in 1991 so they have had a while to look for photos!

They can just use that photo and sent it to CSI: Miami, they will be able to clean up the grainy photo and solve the mystery!

Nonsense - she was abducted by the Briori and is heading to the Delta Quadrant in stasis.
Interesting article though...

I believe that the longer they go without solving the puzzle, the least likely it will ever get solved. I think they have been grabbing at straws for a while now, with no solid leads of any kind.
With my defeatist and negative reply out of the way, I do enjoy the mystery of her disappearance, and I have always hoped they will solve it. Thanks for posting a link to this article.
