The benefit I see of hydrogen is that energy can be stored via the electrolysis of hydrogen. First of all, it's absolutely false to say that energy and water are rare. Go to the US Southwest and you'll find more solar energy than you can ever handle. Convert dirty water to H2 via electrolysis and store it or transport it. Hydrogen may be inefficient, but it's energy that can be stored. All we need are machines that can generate it in an automated fashion via sunlight and water. Imagine electrolysis factories in the ocean near the equator.
This article is classic PR FUD. Someone who has an interest in the status quo has bought this study. Read "Toxic Sludge is Good for You." for other examples of how PR masquerades as science or journalism. Don't be fooled when the vast majority of the scientific community support H2 as an energy source and some lone person who calls himself a scientist speaks in the interests of the petroleum industry.
Last I checked, all games performed more poorly on Linux than Windows. I run both Linux and windows. If you made a Linux version of my favorite game run 5% better, I'll happily buy it. It's all about frame rates. Maybe the OpenGL people should look into performance optimizations or making their library more competitive with DirectX.
I bet if 1 out of 10 of the top PC games ran noticeably faster on Linux, we'd see a dramatic increase in desktop Linux usage for general and gaming use.
