2050? Maybe they can run their systems on GNU Hurd then.
(</sarcasm> I've been hearing how fusion reactors are "just around the corner" since I was a teenager, at least 40 years now.)
- nategri 9y agoThat's actually a standard joke in fusion research: "Always 20 years away." Although it looks like they're updating their model to be more accurate, as now it appears to be "Always 30 years away."
- smnrchrds 9y agoI cannot wait to play Half-Life 3 on GNU/HURD! Joking aside, fusion research is infamously underfunded. At the current rate, it may never come to fruition. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/U.S._historical_fusion_budget_vs._1976_ERDA_plan.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/U.S._his...
