A few years ago, 95-99 % of the comments about LENR on Slashdot would
have ranged from negative to ROTFL, nowadays the skeptics are ...
well... not yet crawling into holes, but shall we say - a bit more muffled.

...and speaking of changin' times:

In 2007, the two largest English-speaking countries in the world are
India (350 million English-speakers out of 1+ billion) and the United
States (300 million English-speakers out of 325 million). This, of
course, is assuming a rather loose definition of 'English-speakers'-
more so for the USA than for India.

The Philippine are not third - as they like to claim- since out of a
total population of 90 million, less than half really speak enough
English to qualify, but now the third slot is  China (almost 300
million, so far out of 1.3 billion). China is catching up quickly with
India and the US, due to changed priorities in the educational system
there, will probably surpass everyone before 2010.

The UK, BTW is still in the top-10 ;-)
