                    It's unfortunate that all the rest of mankind live blissfully that all things begin with at least one of whatever but in Commuter Science zero is more than a viable quantity. Still tripping up the unchurhed too btw. ;-)

                        you are not welcome

                        Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

                                  In commuting zero is the standard: - probability of finding a seat on a train - probability of the train not being delayed - probability of the train not stopping for several minutes in the middle of nothing and nowhere without explanations (possibly alien abductions :D) - probability of not encountering both a Niki Lauda emule and an elder-with-the-hat driving in your direction. The first one endangering everyone with nasty overtakes, the second one creating kilometers of queue by his own forces.
