Iceland Moving to Hydrogen Economy

LordSah writes "Related to the recent coverage of hydrogen, it seems that Iceland is making plans to dump oil in favor of hydrogen produced by the country's abundant supply of geothermic energy. Iceland is being used as an experiment to test out hydrogen fuel cell technology en masse. It has backing from DaimlerChrysler, Shell Oil and the European Union. Article here."

>>Windows NT/XP/2000 stable? Compile and run: main() { for(;;) printf("\t\b\b"); }

this is a known and confirmed bug of all windows based/developed on/from NT. it's even in knowledge base.

workaround: use ascii-numbers instead of escape-sequences.

conclusion: complaining about trivial vulnerabilities of an OS shows lack of brain cells.

ummm let's try that in linux... lemme open midnight commander... mmmmh whats the /dev/ directory? ... ugh, whats all that stuff in /dev/ ??? .... mmmh lets open something. open.... ah F3. (on /dev/procs) .... AAAAAARGH (kernel panic).

i hate commandlines prompts and everything i must enter from hand instead of choosing from alternatives in a graphical shell. you can tell me what you want, i still hate it. and that's why i hate linux. i tried and that commandprompt was inevitable at some time. thats why linux SUCKS. now stop that damn OS-flamewar and let everybode the free choice. not everyone using windows is a lame turd that cannot beat shit in CScience. not every windows-pc is bound to crash every two hours. mine does not. thanks to atguard xp cannot phone home anyway. i tried redhat, va, SuSE (debian not, i was told it sucks more than hell) and none worked. they found the hardware n stuff, but eventually there was that DAMN BLOODY FCKING black'n'white prompt waiting for me to remember one of the pathetically UNmnemonic program names invented by braindamaged programmers from hell.
so mark me as offtopic and flamebait linux zealots.

an OS must manage the following tasks for new users: to give ME as an interested linux newbie (at least experienced in windows-computing for 8 years)
internet/browser access,
(simple) word-processor,
mp3/mpeg-playback,
easy gui-reconfiguration without tons of MAN-pages and STUPID DUMB commandprompt directly after installation. no prompt, no cryptic commands no nothing.
that's simplex ms windows behaviour.

linux falls short here. (mmmmh lets try changing the resolution of X on a freshly installed redhat... (remember: NO linux experience presumed!) - how the fuck should one know that "xf86config" is the keyword? HMMMMMMMMM?)
