sadly you are only half right. The UK switched to a billion meaning 1000,000,000 which I was annoyed about. I don't remember the referendum on that one. Saves confusion when watching US tv I suppose.
sorry bro but DUI has a strict legal definition here defined as "please blow into this sir", not "can you touch your fucking nose" so personal alcohol tolerance or driving skill is not a factor, except for going undetected.

The modern periodic table was first presented by Mendeleïev in 1869.
It had 63 elements and some gaps which Mendeleïev predicted would be filled with new elements. Between 1875 and 1886, three elements (gallium, scandium and germanium) were discovered, the properties of which fitted the theory that Mendeleïev proposed in his table.
Apart from rotating it 90 degrees and being able to record the atomic weights accurately, it has proved to be a sustainable representation of the elements, ergo a bad example to choose for your assertions.
In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o'clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity. "But I wore the juice," he mumbled. Apparently, Mr. Wheeler was under the impression that rubbing one's face with lemon juice rendered it invisible to videotape cameras ( Fuocco, 1996 ).
Darwin's preferred term was Natural Selection. I think survivial of the fittest has become more prevalent because "fittest" has changed in meaning from "most suitable" to "strongest" and appeals to those who think might is right.
"I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term natural selection, in order to mark its relation to man's power of selection. But the expression often used by Mr. Herbert Spencer, of the Survival of the Fittest, is more accurate, and is sometimes equally convenient."
"This preservation of favourable individual differences and variations, and the destruction of those which are injurious, I have called Natural Selection, or the Survival of the Fittest."
on a related note I was reading (in New Scientist I think) that the life of the parents between their birth and the birth of their offspring also contributes to the genetic make-up of new individuals, in particular, the effects of malnutrition. I wish I had a URI for that if anyone can help.
The original meaning, established in the 15th century, was "a million of a million" (1,000,000^2, hence the name billion), or 10^12 = 1 000 000 000 000. This system, known in French as the échelle longue ("long scale"), was formerly used in the United Kingdom and is used in most countries where English is not the primary language. 10^12 is referred to as a trillion in the "short scale" system .
10^9
In the late 17th century a change was made in the way of writing large numbers. Numbers had been separated into groups of six digits, but at this time the modern grouping of three digits came into use. As a result, a minority of Italian and French scientists began using the word "billion" to mean 10^9 (one thousand million, or 1 000 000 000), and correspondingly redefined trillion and higher numbers to mean powers of one thousand rather than one million. This is known in French as the échelle courte ("short scale") and is now officially used by English-speaking countries, as well as Brazil, Puerto Rico, Turkey and Greece.
Activision said that they would pay the fine for anyone who got a speeding ticket on the day Burnout 2 came out here in the UK. I sped through every speed camera on the way home but none of the suckers went off =(
A million monkeys will tell their friends "hey look at my cool video"
If it *is* cool, they will tell their friends
And before you know it you will have another Star Wars Kid
There are many short film festivals arounf the world that already accept public submissions, the panel does the job of the friends and apply their critcal talents to the submissions, here's the one I work on.
We've had quite a few success stories (Shame Meadows, Chris Cooke to name two) through our doors that were not part of the "film industry" for their first submission.
We are all very excited about the next phase of film-making.

you probably don't even know that in OpenBSD Apache is chrooted by default
I want 9/11 every year
it's my birthday you insensitive clod !

/var/www
are sure about that ?
My Apache runs as user httpd chrooted to
good luck getting full system access

In the arctic, do you carry a fridge to keep stuff warm ?

I'm confused (which isn't difficult), how does a Whitehouse guideline become Federal Law ?

You could walk into the shops and buy as many as you wanted on Christmas Eve round here

don't blame the corps for the fauilure of your lame idea
In the UK you are "driving" if you are sat in the driving seat with the keys in the ignition, i.e. in control of the vehicle.
I can drive drunk so I could pass the test.

Get your DV Cams out and get taping!
we don't need dns now

what does this mean ?
Yeah, great idea, take my laptop into the bathroom while I'm using the toilet.
I guess I'm not as hygenically challenged as some round here.

such as "control panel" ?
While you're finding your cites you should also go and find out that "begs the question" isn't the same as "raises the question".
That's the initial per day fine, the amount will go up if the non-compliance continues.
iirc there is no upper limit to the levy.
