And ironically, I just looked him up on LinkedIn and he is a senior consultant for Microsoft!!!
In which phase is he? Embrace?
I hope he is not going to suffer from "Stockholm Syndrom" before he gets into the final phase!

I think it was called FrameMaker.

It was so simple to invent a format for a text block, give it a name, and apply it where needed.

No idea why no office suit can do that 30 years later ...

Well, they just could invent their own sane XML format (is that possible? Sane and XML?) ...
And then use XSLT to either transform the bad bad M$ format into their sane one, or into the other direction ... /me runs and hides

Maybe the "fueling" part, but not the part where the fuel dispenser gets stuck to the car.
It is.

Perhaps you should once visit a fuel station that has H2?

Or the part where you are waiting for the fuel station to re-pressurize the hydrogen gas so that it can be dispensed into your car.
No idea what that is supposed to mean. If the gasoline station has no gasoline, a truck comes and filles it up.
If a H2 station has no H2 .... yadda yadda yadda: A truck comes and filles it up.

Obviously as long as there is "fuel" it is under enough pressure to fill your car, facepalm.

It takes less time to get a full H2 tank than a gasoline tank ...

Hydrogen does not leak in the modern world.
That was true in the 1930s ... or so.

Refueling a H2 car is faster than a gasoline car.
The fuel gets pumped into the car under high pressure.

"I'll see myself out" - something no CEO has ever said.

A phone SIM card does not execute Java (or any other) software.
People keep mixing that up with "Java Cards"

Almost 4 years after the very publicly well known CVE was out there.
That vulnerability only works for "inside jobs", and even then it is complicated enough to set up that there is no known case, that it ever got exploited.

Java has not really anything to do with Oracle.
Unless you buy a Java version from them.

Well,
Russia wanted to make sure in the first Afghanistan war that the pipeline to India and China gets built. But failed.

USA made sure in the second Afghanistan war that the pipelines never get build. So far they succeeded.

These lasers require minerals that are in short supply right now, especially rare earth metals. In spite of the name rare earth metals aren't exactly rare, but they are rather difficult to refine.
That is just nonsense.

They are rare, the lazers, because they are complex systems. You have to track the target. To kill shells you need multiple lasers targeting the same shell. The electronics use simple chips. As long as they can make phones, they have enough rare earths for what ever they want.

The lasers are in general CO2 lasers. They only use rare earth, if available, they do not need it for functionality.

The people in the USDOD are certainly working on getting lasers to the front lines but they have a shortage of materials
Nope. They lost the race when they could not deliver 30 years ago as their MIC was to expensive. Now Germany and Austria is selling them for an Apple and an Egg: the Americans do not even want them: NIH syndrome.

It takes china to make them mainstream and some angry words from an american president to push them into the US Army (the Navy has a few, but does not really want them).

Lasers: no have.
A fibre is super thin ... it is not one with a black plastic "protection" around it.
You probably never see it.

A 1kW laser is likely not enough anyway. But a few that concentrate fire would do it.

They withhold services until there's blackouts, because it's more profit for them to see spot prices get high before providing power than trying to keep the grid, and the spot price, stable.
If your market regulators allow that: blame the legislation.

If a price is high at the spot market, it simply means: there is a buyer for that price.
Ordinary customers, who already paid the "overpriced" end consumer price: are not affected.
Giving them a black out is illegal in Europe (and in general technically not possible, reserve power providers would jump in and bill the guilty parties).

and they only become profitable at times of peak spot prices due to their inefficiency.
That is nonsense.
Gas turbines are extremely efficient. As efficient as a "single" heat plant can get.
Obviously combined cycle gas plants are more efficient as they use the exhaust of gas turbines to heat a boiler.

Electricity from Gas turbines is expensive: because the plant/turbine is absurd expensive. A single blade of the turbine rotors in the burning area costs as much as a german middle class car.
