The fact that those rockets are 50 years old makes no difference. It worked then, why wouldn't it work now? You don't see 50 years old weapon systems stop working.

"I really don’t see how these would work in anything other than very basic scenarios, even less how they would achieve the objectives." Well, what are the objectives? If they are complex, so should the code be complex. That's

I doubt it. Most of the ocean floor is very deep, so deep that even modern submarines can't reach it. If I were a non-human, intelligent species, that would be a perfect place to hide.

I, for one, wish we'd go back to physical storage media such as DVDs, Blue-Rays and CDs. It made you value the content so much more.

"if they can't convince the IRS to lower the bill significantly" Why would IRS agree to this? Would the IRS agree to lower your taxes if you pretty-pleased them? Microsoft should not be an exception.
