It was Dr David Viner, a senior researcher at CRU in Anglia Uni (one of the ones at the centre of the 'ClimateGate' affair). (I don't know the answers to the other points but I happened across that report from 2000 recently).

She sounds bat shit crazy.

There are pages of this rambling nonsense:
I’m still shell shocked, because it’s pretty clear that Jay Lee was hand picked for crafty weasliness with advanced studies in computer hacking. He also happens to be an amateur photographer at .(drumroll, guess!)Houston Chronicle. A guy like Jay Lee would know how to inflict the most harm with a single shot. So, he did. Read his column and ask yourself: was this guy really clueless as to how host sites carry others and how to I.D. The host, disabling all. Motive? Muddy the Water of an overblown 4 year old set up. Though 4 Judges and the AG found that Garcia improperly withheld exculpatory evidence to terminate Guthrie without cause, Camp Garcia is desperate to poke holes and twist clear facts: Guthie beat him badly 3x. My blogs are the only high. ranked discussions of the Attorney General, 14th Court of Appeals, and Judge Caroline Baker’s rulings. Dillon butchered them, but lacks credibility due to Pittman agenda.

Why not use the energy during these peaks to pump water up to the top of a tower, then gradually release it as required. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity

Not sure if this is what you meant, but at least on OSX it is broken in that it now does not tell you what percentage the volume control is set to. This is only really a problem because the volume goes above 100% without snapping at the point where you reach full volume.

It's a good start! It fires up OK, but cannot open any documents (message says: "Cannot read from start of file"). There are also still a lot of crashes which is to be expected - but unfortunately it leaves a whole load of KDE processes running when it does so. Looks fantastic though, and it starts surprisingly fast. I really hope this becomes stable enough to be a viable alternative to MS/Open Office.
