I've been reading this site for 13 years and I think pontifier's original post is my all time favourite HN comment. It's perfect in so many ways, and the fusion reactor is the icing on the cake. I think this might be the peak of hacker news.
I wish the article had more on the fusion reactor than just the bullet point at the very end, but I suppose they would have needed to interview more people. This was a great read.
Yeah, me too. I recommend visiting the page of Deuterium Deuterium Periodically Returning Orbit Fusion: http://www.ddprofusion.com/
He doesn't mention the reactor in the original comment, at least not as it's presented here...
