Which makes C. Regius a very tiny CEO? :)
- falcor84 11mo agoOnly if it has a mechanism to send signals into the host and cell. For the CEO metaphor to hold, I'll accept that these signals can be entirely ignored, but they need to be transmitted.
- zkmon 11mo agoThere must be some interaction with the host involved. Otherwise there is no point in being hosted or stripping off own features.
