...to blow the bloody doors off!

... is an ASCII version! That old ATi Radeon 9500 ASC has been king of the market for too long. It's beginning to look dated. Imagine playing NetHack on this ASUS! Never will an @ look more realistic...

I don't recall the Golden Figurine, but Elite almost caused its own fair share of Electron-Hurling at some points. I'm sure games were harder back then.

I remember my old Acorn Electron. Elite in black and white wireframe graphics - it was fantastic. The first graphics card I actually bought on its own was a 3D Prophet 4000XT 64MB, which I still have in my parts box. I think I still have a Rage from my old G3 Mac lying around too, and the G3 and G4 I still have still contain their Rage and GeForce 2MX respectively, and still work perfectly.

Guess you'll have to move along.

That is true. However, most of the Tritium produced in the DD reaction would be burned off before leaving the reactor. This means that the advanced Tritium handling facilities of JET, for example are not required. This does make it 'cleaner' in a way, and means that the tritium is not 'involved' in the reaction per se - it kinda... appears in the reaction and most of it goes away afterwards. I think this is what is being implied here - no tritium is needed to start the reaction, nor are the handling facilities needed. DD is much cheaper than a DT reaction. However, DT is better for power production, and commercial fusion reactors will probably use the DT fuel mix. ITER will be running DT, and JET set its record with a DT mix, and will probably run more DT experiments in the future. Most reactors run DD however, because of its cost advantages, it's a little cleaner due to the lack of tritium handling required, and is useful for simulations.
