Only people who have said they can't. It's called the Biefeld-Brown effect. It's interesting, but not very practical. So I think you can't talk about people not having explanations. I have an explanation, you don't. > They same people who say Linux doesn't work say these can't fly. You just had to bring operating systems into this argument, didn't you?
