I will paraphrase Virgil:

Timeo Microsoft et dona ferentes! :wink:

Timeo Danaos et dona ferentēs is a Latin phrase from Virgil's Aeneid (II, 49). It means: "I fear the Greeks, even when bringing gifts".

Richard Hull? One of the brightest thinkers at the old Fusor Forums. Some heretical thoughts wrt subatomic physics, but I increasingly think he was right.

Not to worry, once Apple gains enough capitol to make a hostile buyout of Microsoft, all will be well. They are well on the way... :D

So, to turn off a Microsoft Polywell you'll have to hit the "Start" button?

Regarding "So, to turn off a Microsoft Polywell you'll have to hit the "Start" button?" This is, of course, from a well-circulated rebuttal (or internet myth) in which GM tells us how nutty cars would be if Microsoft made them.

What I wanna know is, exactly at what point did Detroit decide Start buttons are a good idea. BTW, Toyotas can be rebooted by holding the Start button down for several seconds.

Anyway, I have to wonder if Microsoft is working under the mistaken idea that the Tom Ligon involved in amateur fusion is Dr. Thomas Sumner Ligon, who wrote tomes on client/server communications for them back in the day. First cousin of mine.

Well not Polywell directly. More like a fusor.
Well, as long as it's the cousin of the polywell that doesn't work as a power reactor anyway, what could go horribly wrong?

Since the moment that they become fashion in Formula1 cars.
Car manufacturer didn't supply also the "remove steering wheel option" simply because they couldn't get a certification for it (Fiat tried twice to get it).
