It's a lovely device, really. But windows, eww. I'd get one for myself, but the keyboard doesn't work with Linux, and is too cramped for my ogre hands.

Fission only at places where you can cool them, and preferable the road infrastructure is good to get fuel to them and waste away.
It's cute that you think waste has to be hauled away and stored, instead of reprocessed into more fuel.

When arguing solar vs. nuclear, what you are really arguing about is where to put the reactor, and whether it's going to be a fusion reactor now, or a fission reactor now, with a fusion reactor replacing it later.
I'm disappointed that codes for new construction haven't started mandating the installation of solar.
So are the companies selling solar. Meanwhile, Chevron is disappointed about codes for new construction not mandating the installation of furnaces requiring heating oil.

I travel a ton and stay in dozens of different hotels every year. Domestically, and in maybe 50% of the foreign cases, the high priced hotels had worse and slower internet up until a couple of years ago. For the last 2 years they have gotten better, on the average. Oh, I was in a 5-star Vegas resort last night that had horrible bandwidth. In the past, my joke was accurate that the difference between a Four Seasons (just an example) and a Super 8 is that at the Super 8 the internet worked and was free. The most important thing to me in a hotel is computer use. The fancy suites in major hotels are often set up for entertaining friends and DON'T even have a computer desk. I ask my wife to book me into Super 8's whenever possible.
As customization reaches lower and lower levels, it becomes increasingly difficult to meaningfully compromise it. Probably the only way to meaningfully compromise an FPGA is to autodetect an internet connectin, and stream out to it everything you receive, possibly only on receiving a particular activation signal.
The "FP" in "FPGA" stands for "Field Programmable"; it's possible to compromise in the field, in a rather meaningful way.
One generally isn't ironic/sarcastic when "pushing" a company or its products.
That's easy!
Start with a computer that doesn't need tweaks/updates from time to time, and then add video conferencing software that allows you to not upgrade it in order to support new platforms because the basic protocol never changes, but is already ubiquitous on every platform someone might want to use, and get it all from a vendor who has no monetary interest in forced updates!

Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
