From TFA:
"Why does it cost so much? To power an air conditioner at a remote outpost in land-locked Afghanistan, a gallon of fuel has to be shipped into Karachi, Pakistan, then driven 800 miles over 18 days to Afghanistan on roads that are sometimes little more than "improved goat trails," Anderson says."

Bringing in solar panels would reduce costs in the long run, but the transport investment would be the same or higher. I agree that there are greener ways to handle this. Personally, I think it's insane they provide air conditioning at all.

Hasn't she read the Terms of Use? By posting the pictures on Facebook they're no longer hers.

Was just about to submit this myself. Over a million dollars has already been raised. I'm curious what will happen when Fox gets wind of this success? Will they even sell the rights, glad to be done with it, or cling to a dead series trying to squeeze more money from its deceased remains?
I sure hope this takes off... I wouldn't mind seeing more from the 'Verse

The coffee table eats mice to power itself.

But what does it need power for? It's pretty much a coffee table without the energy the mouse will provide!

If you need to be gorgeous and adhere to ridiculous social standards in order to be cool, most geeks are doomed any way. We don't have the cool hobbies, because practicing sports take time away from our interesting research. We don't watch the cool shows, because most popular TV shows have gaping plot holes or are just not interesting at all. It's hard to "fit in" when you're smarter than the masses. I like it that way.

We are more suited to distinguishing ourselves from the masses with silly jokes and dooming ourselves to our little social niche because let's face it, the conversations are just so much more interesting over here.

Come to the nerd side, we have pocket-protectors.

Slashdotted. I guess everyone was curious!

Agreed!

We basement-dwelling nerds hate the sun. We hates it, precioussss!

That list alone will warrant Homeland Security / FBI / CIA / MI5 / KGB and the Doctor to keep an eye on you.
