    Ah! An article about possible future technologies. I see the comments broken down like this:

    The standard guff:
    1% - "Imagine a beowulf cluster..." posts
    2% - "First post" posts
    10% - "Off-topic, Microsoft stinks" posts
    12% - "Big Business is evil" posts

    And the more relevant posts. I predict:
    20% - "Very cool and exiting, I want this" posts
    25% - "Very dangerous, we do not want this" posts
    30% - "Very cool but it'll never happen, people" posts
