Very well said! I've always lived in the US, but as I'm in the electronic design business, I have to deal with both units daily. I do approve of switching to the metric system for everything, but only use them at work.
About the only thing that makes me mad, is missing tolerances, rounding and unit-less data files. I get drawings (in either unit) daily with no tolerance and many of the latest and greatest CAD data formats still don't support units or the program reading/writing them don't use/create them!!!! The first 2 can not be fixed by any system of measurements. The last two would fix any computer based data transfer in any unit. Heck, if they wanted to, they could add a units tag to HTML, and you could make pages (the writer) in either unit, and the browser could show you (the reader) what you prefer!!!
I still can't handle long distance (car) conversion in my head, but a 5 hour trip still takes 5 hours if the distance is in miles or km.;-)
And would someone that KNOWS metric is the best:
First, please write in decimal format, 1/3 of a meter!!!!;-)
Second, justify the use of 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the pole as a good starting point for a distance measurement!!!;-)
I have 4-5GB free on my 64GB card. Can't hardly wait until the 128GB cards come out.
Cloud doesn't work when you don't have a connection. No WiFi at work, and concrete walls so 3/4G only works once in a while. I have to walk to the other end of the building, just to make a call.
Printed Circuit Board. Birds that buy to many electronics, sing differently than ones that live the simple life.;-)
Using TLA's (Three-letter acronym) mess people up, and should NOT not be used in the summary, unless the TLA is implied! SiO (Spell it Out)
QED? OK?
Wait, since the NSA is monitoring all messages, and they also know where you are and what you are doing, and have the resources, since they don't have to fill out wiretapping forms anymore, it's ALL their fault!!!!
OK, I live in Chicago, and see all three in my 20 minutes per day each way (3 miles) drive, so which one isn't even possible?
(Please note, I am NOT joking!)
I think this is a great idea, but....
To keep things on a even keel, if there is even this slightest hint of playing with the artist money, would require a root kit on all the machines the company owns. No more playing with the books!!! They be out of business in a day.
You already answered the question. Like most larger companies, they need to get rid of the deadwood (deadheads) at the top, as the workers aren't the problem with most companies!!!
Alternative, heck, these are about 3 times better picture!!!!!
Over course, they were even more expensive than even Plasma!
Maybe pick one up, like the writer of the story is planning, if the prices drop.
No, but because it is a law, and that's the reason, a good lawyer could get you out of almost anything if they used ONLY the facial recognition software, and the picture they used had you smiling.
Now if they had ANY other evidence, or you did something REALLY bad, it doesn't matter where they got it, you are screwed.
I LOVE my SR-530's I had been using the ones that came with my iPod, and it was like AM vs. FM radio. You get what you pay for. And yes, FLAC all the way, off my own CD's.
If you are listening to MP3's, use a tin can and a string, you won't know the difference!
Wow, a government that doesn't listen to the mooing cows!!!!!
You should think when planning ANYTHING, including Dams for hydro power. It's nice to see someone is thinking instead of just reacting.
That is GREAT!!!! Wish someone would follow my brother around and do this when his wife calls. Of course, he'd be deaf within 3 days (48 waking hours of ringing!) if they did.;-)
Interesting. When they were creating the white space spec. MS (and others) said there was no way to create a device like this. Guess now they want one, it's easy, lol

I don't think 2016 is over yet, is it? Looks like someones pointer overflowed!
Cool, and thanks for the link.
Weird, I looked up my home town, and there is only 1 record high and 1 record low in my lifetime. (50+ years)
Most records (high or low) are in the early 1900s.

Hey, wait a minute. Hacking is something you do to hardware, you software freaks need to get you own term!!!!! ;-)

Sorry, in the US version, there is no SD card, so I won't buy it.

Problem with that, is "I" have an allergy to NOT eating peanuts. And since I'm the most important person "I" know, "I" win.

Wouldn't it be much shorter all around to go by the Saint Lawrence Seaway? Shorter on the water and shorter distance in Illinois???

Why should any Federal employee get any Holidays? I've never seen one that wasn't on holiday all year round.
I think M$ biggest grief with Google, is that an "Ad" company write better software than a "Software" company. ;-)
National debt would be zero in no time! How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving.

I've been playing since late Beta. I'm going to miss this game. Wish I could find a game 1/4th as good. I haven't seen one yet.

Even at home, I turn off the phones when watching a movie. Why even pause, when it's just some salesperson.
