Sounds reasonable, we just need to set some ground rules.

Everyone and their cousins have their own platform. That's the issue. No one wants to standardize on someone else's alternative so the incumbents reign supreme.

So SNW is Enterprise but actual Star Trek and not "Bush's America in Space - now with 100% more war crimes"?

By that criteria so is article 5, as it only calls for "such action as it deems necessary".

We didn't have the Intel 8080 chip that the Altair computer ran on, So Paul got to work writing a program that would simulate one on Harvard's PDP-10 mainframe. This allowed us to test our software without needing an actual Altair.

So, basically:

We are going to write a compiler, but first we are going to write a Virtual Machine from scratch because the hardware is too expensive.

Good times.

It was always about extortion and never about defense.

The Trump administration got a human trafficker in Romanian custody free for some vacations in the US. That's the only thing I have to say about the US and people in foreign custody.
