Mass is measured in grams. Multiply this by Earth gravitational acceleration (the 9.81 bit) gives you Newtons (called "weight" by those of us who understand the difference from "mass"). But how does the "standard g constant" apply when you're in space ?
Any acceleration due to gravity doesn't apply... so we are left with a mass (g) acting over an area (m2)... so the pressure should be expressed as g/m2.
Your electricity bill is reported in Kilowatt Hours... but most people don't want to know how many thousand Watts their fridge uses in an hour, a day is a more human-relatable quantity, especially as hours per day is one of those silly "Imperial" measurements that anyone under 35 cannot manage to convert without getting a migraine. Also, it gives a meaningful idea of the consumption between recharges as most people will recharge their devices at the end of the day / overnight.
When it comes to portable devices where the consumption is miniscule (compared to a fridge), Watts per Days seems like a good choice for people to get their head around.
Still, just for your benefit...
Watts per Day * 0.00004167 will give you your coveted Kilowatt Hours. Enjoy.
Suing IS the only option. Any individual consumer boycotting a product will do nothing, because they don't care about individual users... this is why they're quite happy to deal with your "customer service" requests by letting you talk so someone in Mumbai reading from a checklist of approved questions but offering no real answers.
Any percentage less than a certain amount are also "don't care" metrics, it simply won't make a dent on their overall sales, and is not cost effective enough to affect a recall or revision to the product.
But a court case, together with it's bad publicity and public perception that the company isn't being totally honest, WILL have the CEOs taking notice, and might just change something to the benefit of all users.
You are one of nearly seven billion people on the planet... no one cares what you boycott or otherwise, no one will even know about it. Make a class action suit, and entire countries can hear about it on the six o'clock news.
Anyone who uses MVC/OOP and PHP in the same paragraph is just churning out buzzwords, without any thought to what they are asking for.
PHP is the ultimate NON-separated language, where you are allowed (even encouraged) to mix HTML, SQL and code all in one "script"... why do you think there's a glut of PHP coders (and crappy, vulnerable PHP code) out there ?
I can't even begin to imagine how you'd implement MVC... not without switching to a real language first.
If you think climate has not already changed, go outside and take a good look.
Oh, I'm so tired of this bullshit... when we get a drought, its "proof of Global Warming". When we get snow in fucking India, then "its just weather, don't confuse weather with climate".
The planet changes, sometimes it's hotter, sometimes it's colder, and guess what Sherlock... that affects the weather patterns. NONE of this "proves" that man is a major contributing factor.
Had Islam been founded today it would never have made it. Look at the Koran. It's complete plagiarism, grabbing all the best bits from the Bible and Torah. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works would have had their collective asses in court in less time than the Muezzin can shout a call to prayer.
Also, due to a misunderstanding, the important issues about (a) washing pork 10 times, and (b) not eating your own hands and feet, have been completely misprinted causing untold inconvenience to millions of adherents.
Want to know why all religions were founded in the Middle East... no bloody copyright !!!
HE might be having fun, but for the rest of us, the last 5 series or so have been painfully unfunny.
Could be worse, Family Guy seemed to jump the shark after Series 4, and even Southpark has become more of a current events news roundup than anything relating to Kyle, Stan, Eric and Kenny themselves.
Is Matt doing it for the paycheck ? Of course he is ! It's just amazing he's still getting the viewing figures that keep renewing his contract for season after season.
Except in the case of BBC productions, we have ALREADY paid for it via the licence fee. Then if you want to watch a 25 year old Sci Fi show again, you have to shell out a futher 80 quid for DVDs that cost approx 12 pence each and a pretty box.
It's not a case of downloaders being "cheap", it's a case of corporations being "too fucking expensive" (and double dipping).
I imagine Pravda et al. are equally biased in their own directions.
Nope, I'd say the arrogance of the US is pretty much globally hated. Even their best buddies Israel give them the finger on a regular basis these days.
As opposed to nonsense projects that will get progressively MORE expensive as the resource runs out.
Newsflash, oil, gas and all the shale extraction gimmickry might last us 200 years, at an ever increasing cost. The sun is here for approximately the next 5 billion years, and the raw material costs nothing to "extract".
It doesn't matter who is supporting it... the plain fact is it's an (almost) identical copy of the encoding system used by h264.
It's only because of the fact that the internals are so similar, that many of the names you listed can set this codec into firmware relatively cheaply... as they're already got 95% of the code in their existing h264 firmware. I just hope they include a line on the chip to short out VP8 so they've got their asses covered when the shit starts hitting the fan.
Just because they have the money and the gonads to fight expensive litigation doesn't mean they are right.
Which is pretty much 95% of the h264 codec and a "coming soon to a Texas court near you" litigation that will mean no one will touch it with a 10 foot bargepole.
NO video code will ever be "open" while certain corporations hold broad patents on "detecting the difference between one frame and the next and transcoding the delta (USING A COMPUTER)" etc.
Assuming that your first step wasn't already longer than the length of the pier, and in the context of "taking a long walk" meaning you take really, really slow step(s).
Excepting landlines, just about EVERY mobile phone keeps a log of your last 5 or 10 missed, received and dialled calls.
And if, like 99% of the married population, your wife is not "jealous", just merely shall we say "overly curious", then that'll get you in just as much trouble if you happened to even miss a call from an ex.
I wonder why is nobody screaming OMGBBQWTF, GREAT BIG PRIVACY HOLE IN NOKIA / SAMSUNG / IPHONE PRIVACY ???
There's your problem right there. You don't talk about emotions, you just display the fuckers at the appropriate times.
The first time you find yourself asking your girlfriend "how she is feeling", that's when SHE realizes that you can't "read her" and are not suitable mating material. You are supposed to KNOW how she's feeling without having to exchange 20 questions first.
And really... a chick who likes playing videogames, how sexy is that ? And you wanted to just talk ?

What exactly is wrong with Watts per Day ?
Your electricity bill is reported in Kilowatt Hours ... but most people don't want to know how many thousand Watts their fridge uses in an hour, a day is a more human-relatable quantity, especially as hours per day is one of those silly "Imperial" measurements that anyone under 35 cannot manage to convert without getting a migraine.

How do you "accidentally" sample something ? It's like saying "I accidentally ate a cake", or "I accidentally drove to work".
You either sample, or you don't ... there's no "accidentally' about it.

and talk about emotions

I thought weight was a bigger constraint than size when it came to space flights ?
In which case, don't matter how small it's folded up, it'll still weigh the same.
