If it's a real tile floor, then try Acetone: 100% if you can get it, nail varnish remover if you can't. It's a very good degreaser and my DefCon 4 of greasy-nasty removal. Trichloroethane is DefCon 1 since it was banned twenty years or so ago, just because it's narcotic and can destroy your liver... My small bottle is used sparingly, since I can't replace it.

Just wondering why only India and China forum exists under Non-English Language section? I am sure there are many other non english languages?
Is it based on stats on membership i.e. where the majority people are from, in this site?

Yeah, and around this place, I'm sure that American and Australian are at the top of the list...

As for the Indian forum, it's probably based on the fact that most westeners (except maybe for you British) don't care to see multiple daily posts in the Lounge about cricket... 
[EDIT] Before the majority of the Indian members here downvote me for being racist, please take time to enjoy the JOKE icon at the top of the post! [/EDIT]

It's not the down votes you need to worry about; it's the people angry enough to try and kill your account with abuse flags.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I know. But I only meant it as joke - not as abuse against anybody. Just wanted to make that clear from the start...

I can imagine it also being based on usage; how many Dutch people have been looking for a Dutch section?
It'd be nonsense to list every language.

My old joints have been playing me up something rotten over the last few weeks, a couple of friends recommended omega-3 capsules, so I hied myself to the local Holland and Barrett to get some. The containers were on the top shelf so I reached up to get them, I must have knocked something as the whole shelf collapsed on to me! I was OK though - I only suffered super fish-oil injuries.
Ithankyew. This joke guaranteed 100% stolen from "Boffins with jokes".

In case someone missed it in the Insider, a very good and simple article:
Arduino vs. Pi : Which one is best for you[^]
I belonged to the people who believed the two solutions were equivalent, this came as an enlightenment. Of course, if I really had the need, I'd have looked in the specs more closely.

As I have already pointed out, your behavior on these forums is on the edge of trolling, and this is getting slowly on my nerves, so at some point, be prepared to some reaction.
So, your answer is childish, but I know there are other members of the repost police, so here my general point of view about that : I don't f***ing care if it has already been posted. This is no news item, it is only a link to an article I find interesting, especially since I have seen lots of interest here about DIY electronics and in the forums and in the Q&A. You are not happy with that ? Move on. The mere fact that I have to write these lines is getting me mad.
tl;dr : F*** you.

Rage in rage.
Sorry
In fact, an interesting read - I missed it in the Insider news.
I own both and Arduino and two Pis, and from that experience I already found out that the Arduino Board is best when it comes to bare electronics work.
In my honest opinion, step back and take a deep breath - Some people know what buttons to push to get us raging. Ignore him, some brains never developed over (or sometimes fall back to) childishness.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Are you doing something special with these, or are they just playgrounds ?

I use one of the Pis as Print server to make an USB printer Ethernet-accessible.
The other Pi is a playground thing I use every once in a while, the Arduino did I use for my Arduino article (Arduino, C#, and Serial Interface[^]).
