It's not necessary to switch liter/gallon and kilometer/mile.
The necessary conversion is to express it in gpm instead of mpg (gallon used per mile travelled instead of mile per gallon)
The big problem I believe is that there are so many different operating systems (Symbian, iPhone OS, Android...) that all have a part of the market. Being able to write a virus/find a backdoor to control 90% of PCs is very profitable. Just like there are not many people writing virusses for Mac OS or Linux, there are not many viruses for mobile phones (yet).
"What do you do, keep logging out and back in again to play another game online?"
Battle.net isn't like steam, in a sense that you don't have a program running that combines all your games together (not yet anyway)
You still need to log in with your e-mail and password everytime you start a game; it would just be a different e-mailaccount if you keep everything separated.
The "Staatsblad" is a collection of all federal laws a Belgian citizen is supposed to know and follow. A law, royal decrete... is not valid until it's publicised in there.
The government will be forcing the ISPs to block all (foreign) online gambling sites and programs.
Only the regulated casino's will be able to offer poker games.
Because you can't use a monopoly in one area (OS) to gain a monopoly in another area (browers).
Giving IE with every version of Windows breaks that law, because most people won't install another browser. The browser ballot screen is a solution that the European Parliament (?) and Microsoft both agreed to.
It would be beneficial for many people to become cab drivers. This would decrease their income (less money per ride and less rides per driver) and you'll end up with many people barely making enough to survive on.
This would provide a speed boost to machines that already have enough memory (and most do). Part of your operating system would be copied to the SSD (persistent storage!). A system boot would be much faster because the data can be accessed from the SSD and doesn't have to be read from the HDD.
Having more memory, which only solves capacity problems, wouldn't be helpful in this case.
Perhaps there is another factor that causes cancer that has decreased in the last 30 years.
Asbestos use has been declining for half a century (and has been banned in most countries in the last 20 years). This could have easily hidden the cancer growth from cell phones.
(Note that Asbestos causes lung and kidney cancer but no brain cancer. This was just used as an example)
The computer AI in Starcraft actually has knowledge of your position on the map (that's why it never has to scout you before he attacks). It's reasonable to assume that the AI competion would include these things as well.
Making up new tactics on the fly is not as important as it seems. What is important is recognising your opponent's strategy and responding to it (something that can easily be programmed). Of course this would only work against other AI; a good Korean player can certainly come up with a strategy that the AI cannot deal with.
You could only order 1 at a time (or send a special request). After it got delivered, you could try to order another one.
Any subsequent orders or special requests always got denied for me though.
I always needed 2 CDs for me, and some more for my friends, but I haven't been able to hand them out for a few years.
In Belgium, the civil engineering degree isn't what you think it is.
It's more a general engineering degree with everyone choosing a specific major (chemical engineering, computer science, applied physics, elektro-mechanical engineering and "bouwkunde": the actual civil engineer...)
His degree would be the equivalent of "Master of Science in Engineering: Telecommunications"
This is one of the problems that can be solved with Cloud Computing. You would be able to set up an extra server in a matter of minutes. The cost would be little more than a price for the available processing power and storage usage.
Storing power is not as easy as it looks. If you have a good idea let us know.
Huge batteries are expensive and lose their charge over time.
You could use the power to pump water higher and then use that potential energy later. There are so many convertions of energy that make it not effective enough.
It's about not having to operate your own datacenter anymore. (not having to pay for electricity, cooling, multiple system admins, and keeping up with your server requirements...)
You get an account with a business who has a big cloud. You tell them what kind of equipment you want to use (i.e. via an internet application) and it gets set up for you automatically (within minutes instead of days/weeks/months. Then you just pay for the storage you are using and the processor clock cycles that are used.
You pay less, and benefit is that you can easily add more servers (in case you website gets slashdotted)
Teleportation at the speed of light would take 3.3 ns (3.3e-9 seconds) to cover a distance of 1m. This is certainly measurable.
However no time difference has been measured in this experiment because the teleportation is instantaneous.
Experience.
Before you start do a guess on how long it will take. Maybe divide the problem into multiple parts and try to think how long you will have to work on everything separately. After you have finished the task make sure you write down how long it actually took and compare it with your estimates.
Your estimates will get better and better even after just a few projects.

The specific units only cause a constant factor.
That's certainly possible.

We have something like that in Belgium.

The latest version is 87.000 pages.

Youtube Autoplay was my reason.
a simple window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(/&playnext=1/, "&playnext=0"); has solved all my problems

It was probably set to stop listening after a few seconds to make the demonstration easier.
I have enough problems to find the cats when I know that they're there. It would be a challenge to the bots, but nothing they can't solve.
