This makes me happy.

This makes me sad.

I'd be right behind just having the thing as furniture/talking point,
to be honest. If there's no power, there's no issue with
non-US-citizen use, right? And is there anything interesting in the
way of legitimate research left to do in this space anyway? If we want
to run demos with it (which we obviously would), we could take some
care with the legalities while it was running and otherwise enjoy its
silent hulking presence.
