Er, maybe because Liux bugs are reported and put on a website, while Windoze bugs can be easily be temporarily fixed by a simple reboot. Linux problems are also posted on LUGs; Windoze problems are delt with by 'professionals'.
I have seen Windoze's Blue Screen of Death, and I have seen the Linux Kernel Panic (check out the screensavers for the latter). Also, there is a difference between 'bugs' and 'problems'.
The little notice says you are not to even operate a hand-held cell phone in the car.
That would avoid lots of car accidents. Nut if the car is stopped, not being allowed to use the cell phone means either horrible horrible design, or an excuse to save/make more money.
But if we have learned anything about excessive energy use from the past, we should proceed with caution. What will happen when the whole world is powered by solar power? Think of it, all this energy from the sun that would normally heat the earth would now go towards generating electricity. This would probably lead to a global chilling which is not a good thing.
No. The solar generated elecricity will ultimately turn to heat. Unless people decide to store large amounts of it, it will be used and converted to heat.
I think we should either stay dependant on fossil fuels for now, or even increase our consumption of them to counter the effects of global chilling in the future with more global warming now.
Burning fossil fuels could upset the balance of oxygen/carbon dioxide, plus releases other chemicals that cause acid rain.
Whatever it is, it is going to be pretty darn high. The earth's atmopphere isn't very big, either. I don't know how to simplify (sec(L) - 1), but would if it was sec(L)^2
I bet we could exterminate most nn-human life if we really tried. Or if we let factories spew out pollution at any rate they please (which would be a cheaper way to do it). How would you like to breathe smog, instead of air? Granted, though, the *planet* won't die, but what we care about are living things.
People can stay in the air for several days in a glider. They use upward currents to gain height. You know, fly over a desert in the day, and over a forest at night.
Because it is so hellishly expensive to develop a new drug and prove that it is not harmful that only big corporations can do it. And they will only do it if they can make money out of it.
Banning cash would be the next great advance in finance. It will have backing from every business, as it will prevent theft. People will like the idea because it will prevent bribery. Think about it, would you steal/accept a bribe if the money went directly to your bank account? No more laundering money, either. If people didn't buy from you, you won't be able to say they did, cause everything will be written down in a database.
And IT WILL BE ABUSED. Yes. Someone will abuse it.
It might get interesting if this evolved into a complete wireless virtual reality helmet. That said, though, I don't want strong electromagnetic fields passing through my brain.
I don't get it. How will a pin help if the machine decides to copy your pin as well? The only possibility would be if your number is given as encrypted and only approved machines can decrypt it. Or something.

I prefer to RTFM than RTFB (read the fine binaries)

It's more noticeable if you have to pay it youself, then if your employer kindly pays it for you. I suppose most people would notice it, though.

If they want to put nuclear reactors in space, they might need new safety systems. Systems as on earth will not AFAIK work in space.
true, but
too much spending == too little saving == only firms with income can invest
If everyone gave an amount they could afford without even noticing
It's called 'withheld income tax'.
Saving is also good.
spent money == income for firm
saved money (in bank) == invetment money for firm
Which is better?

Traveling around the world in 24 hrs is not something you can do in a glider/solar powered plane. Think 40,000 km/24 hrs ~= 2,000 km/h

Perhaps patent reviewers should only classify patents and put them on the internet for a year. Then anyone who knows prior art can pitch in

for each patent examiner. That gives them about 5-6 days to see if it is not copied. Is that good or bad?
Er, what if we store the information Knoppix CDs, and include the programs necessary to read it? CDs don't rot, do they?
What if we print to a paper like me write to a CD, and read it with a scanner? Or would that be worthwhile?
She doesn't look so cute to me.

I couldn't find a google page about her (except the one in Sweedish).
