  2. Re:This is the year of Linux on the desktop .. on Linux on the Desktop Doubles in 2007 · · Score: 1

    Yes it could! You just think that number of computer users is constant but it's not.

    37 of 10000 is 0.37%
    74 of 9135 is almost 0.81%

  3. Re:determinism finally! on Self-Tuning Electric Guitar · · Score: 1

    You should have picked violin, it's really simple to suck at it, and does not require much concentration

  4. Re:How many died because of religion? on The World's Languages Are Fast Becoming Extinct · · Score: 1

    Atheism is also a religion of sorts
    I agree, the best religion is a "I-don't-give-a-fuck" religion, when you don't give a fuck about what others believe. And that's not atheism

    Actually I was also wrong about quieter, they are not.

  7. Re:Stupid stupid stupid on Germany To Build New Maglev Railway · · Score: 1

    I agree. Maglevs are simply for showoff. Overpriced technology with no bonuses. It's not yet ready for use.

  9. Re:Faster, quieter, low-maintenance, uses less ene on Germany To Build New Maglev Railway · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it's quieter, faster and probably requires less energy if magnets do not require power. But I always thought it required much more maintenance. However it's difficult to cover the price of such railway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev_train#Economics there is some prices, for instance for the the Shanghai maglev it will take (9.93*10^9/(7000*50))/365 almost 78 years to cover the cost and it's not including maintenance.

    ...what's the point in overpriced railway?

    FUD? The "You have to restart your computer"-pop-up after an update in Windows XP is the most irritating shit. It it comes every 5 minutes and there is no visible option to disable it.
