Beating Microsoft

Microsoft... and the end of the world

It's April Fool's in the U.S. today... but I've decided to post something that's emphatically not an April Fool's joke.

There's an interesting, practical, and disturbing little essay on coming energy shortages and collapse of our civilization.

Very pragmatic, very clear, and very scary.

This little essay is from a book by David Goodstein, the CalTech Vice Provost.

Of course, if our fossil-fuel dependent little world collapses, of course, there will probably be no more Microsoft, no more large scale software deployments, and no more need for this blog!
