    They’re going to build it in 2026 but it’ll still somehow be running on XP.

      “What operating system is that running?”

      “Uh… vista.”

      “We’re all going to die!”

        Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

      XP is still a solid OS as long as you don’t connect to the internet.

        A nuclear reactor connected to the internet sounds like a bad idea.

            „Your reactor has been temporarily disabled due to license payment issues. Please consult support@mcaffee.com“

          Not that you’re safe even if it’s not connected to the internet (stuxnet comes to mind)

          I’m not sure why you think it would be connected to the internet.
