Which, luckily, is why we're a republic of multiple states, and NOT a democracy, as a nation. Very thoughtful, on the part of the founders.

Apparently, now, anything that's an improvement over anything being used is so unimaginably cool and rebellious that it's "disruption." Like, "Area man totally disrupts restaurant industry with new pot pies."

"The secret articles they don't want you do know about!"

"slow" is relative. I sleep well at night having OpenBSD on much of my internet-facing stuff, a few percent of performance being used for safety & sanity? I'll take that anyday.

Hydro Quebec is mainly hydroelectricity. I'm more surprised that AECL is not involved, at least from what I've read. They were a prime partner in building the CANDU reactors.

Forgot to change accounts, eh? How embarassing.
