The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Are there any nanotechnological approaches to controlled nuclear fusion?

Or, for that matter, are there any microtechnological approaches to controlled nuclear fusion? The reason I ask, is that I am most unimpressed with the Tokamak nuclear fusion reactors. Looks like the idea is a Manhattan Project that never ends. It's always just "ten years away". So, huge amounts of money are invested endlessly in totally useless megaprojects. Seems to me that very small fusion reactors would be much safer and much cheaper. Are there any efforts in this direction, at all?
