But if they used quantum cloned Soylent Green as fuel, wouldn't they end up 
everywhere at once?

(Hmmm.  Maybe you're on to something.  First time someone uses Soylent Green 
fuel they end up everywhere, universal mass increases enormously, universe 
becomes a black hole, and Microsoft cannot escape!)

(Yes, I know that, given the estimated mass and Schwarzschild radius of the known 
universe we already are in a black hole.  This would explain a lot about user 
behaviour.)

When I was young, I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the
elder Cato began at the age of 80 to learn Greek.  I am amazed no
longer.  Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked
because they would take too long.                     - Groucho Marx
