NIST Wants An Electronic Kilogram

Posted by Hemos on from the standards-are-gud dept.

Dearing writes "According to the Global Engineering Journal, NIST, those not-so-standard standards people, want to give up the hunk of metal they've been calling a kilogram, even though it never weighs the same twice. In it's place, an electronic kilogram could act as the permanent standard."

    I bet you were really popular with the girls in high school.

    Smart-alec.

    I scored more pussy in high school than all the other slashdot posters together. How did I do it? Read a lot and made comments like yours? No way. I drank a lot, went to parties, had a flashy car, went to gym and knew how to sweet-talk to the bitches.

    Right now I'm at work, have a beer bottle next to my keyboard and, if I wanted, I could have sex in ten minutes with the boss' blonde secretary.
