Posted by: Brooke at October 22, 2003 08:12 PMPeople really flip out about grenade launchers.
They are just tubes on the bottom of a rifle with a trigger and firing pin. For example, check out the attached URL regarding the M203 grenade launcher. Even some police rifles will have "grenade launchers" for deploying tear gas grenades.
And although often described as an M-16 rifle, I bet it was a semi-auto M-16 "knockoff" rifle. There really aren't too many full-auto M-16's around in private hands.
If he actually had a 40mm anti-personel grenade, now that would be news, launcher or not.
BTW, this guy's name sounds very familiar to me. According to Dr. Newcomb's website, he was "He is conducting research on mixed-signal analog vlsi circuit design". Newcomb was almost my advisor, but Dr. Shamma stole me at the last minute.
It also looks like he was going to be in Eta Kappa Nu, the EE honors society.
Here is something he wrote into CNN in 1999:
'Not a popularity contest'
I've been following the impeachment case and process since its inception. It alarms me that many at present feel that because they "like" Bill Clinton, he should be excused from a full trial. This is not a popularity contest and the president of such a powerful country must be held to a standard above the average John (no pun intended). He is an example for our young and supposed to be a leader that we will rally around in times of trouble. We need a commander and good manager with a take-charge approach to our complex world position. Mr. Clinton does not fit the role.

I know what sent him over the edge though:

Hi everyone.
I'm having this nagging problem with i.e.4.0x that I can't seem to get rid
of:
While I'm using the program, I started to get these messages from win95 that
"program performed an illegal operatopm and will be shut down", then I have
to recover my active desktop. Again and again.
ie4.0x worked for well over a year before this cropped up, and I can't seem
to figure it out. I did a virus scan and came up clean; I also flushed cache
several times with no effect.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
