Actually it makes it quite a bit harder when everything is measured in imperial units currently. 1 + 1 when counting inches is much easier than 2.54 + 2.54.
All the metric units are easier as long as everything uses those metric units. when everything except the import cars are standard measurements then it's just not practical.
how many mm is my 5/8" head bolt? how many meters are between my 16" on center wall studs? Why would all my roughly 1 mile apart main streets now be stuck at 2.4ish km? to me, there is just far to much that is dependent on imperial measurements that getting people to think in them is not going to happen.
this is new internet slang you can use in the bed room. Now you can ask a woman if she's a lawyer, if she says 'No' as in I ANAL then you can plunge right in. Give it a try on your next encounter.
It's called zero liability voting, and it's the biggest problem with democracy as you are doing nothing but voting for someone else to fix your problems.
There was a deal in my town back in the 60s that was specifically hiring people in our area due to a tax break from the city. The deal was basically, you keep our land as a county island so we don't pay city taxes and we'll hire people from your area, otherwise we'll build our plant near a different city that will make that deal with us. This is just one i know of for certain, this is not uncommon from what I hear though.
kinda like the depression we had in the early 20s where the government did nothing and it turned into the great depression vs the one we had in the 30s where the government helped out with job programs and infrastructure spending and it faded away quickly with barely a mention.
except there are plenty of rich people that could easily not work and live off what they have. The reason that is bad is because when rich people work they typically employ several middle and lower class people as well. If their taxes are raised past their "no longer worth it" threshold then everyone suffers.
And don't give any me bullshit about Bush. Obama makes Bush look like a tightwad.
Bush got us into two global conflicts consisting of large troop deployments, large expenditures on tactical support, AND large amounts of money going to infrastructure in the name of "nation building". During which the Bush administration lower the tax rate on a (*cough* *cough*) temporary basis which is unprecedented in US history. Normally we would sell bonds earmarked for the cause or raise taxes to pay for the war effort.
And again, looking at history, the expeditions to the north poll that were funded by government had a much higher failure rate than those funded by private enterprise.
Are they really not impacted by not having access? I think cell phones can kind of point out the possibility of being impacted. I think of when I grew up we never had cell phones, why do I feel i can't live without one now?
Well mainly because when I grew up there was a pay phone every 12 feet (well almost.) Now I know of only 1 pay phone and it's about 12 miles from my house and not near anywhere I frequent.

It's a conspiracy of Cresent, Snap-On and Craftsman to make me buy twice as many tools.
sorry was thinking inches/centimeters, but the point is still valid. I should apply for a job and NASA.

Not only that but a large part of that were the illegals and dead people that voted for Obama.
They could just say it was their open wifi that someone else downloaded the bag from.

Ok, let's just make up definitions as we go. I mean Let's just car up space races as we stop.
form now on car means what make use to mean and space races is the new way we define things. Also stop means go now.

All that and his point still stands.
except raising taxes does not always raise revenue for the government. Especially during an already sluggish economy.
If it wasn't an Air to Surface Missile then where the hell did it go?
Or was it shot from the RC Aircraft while sitting on the ground? Not very impressive.
It could of been worse. He could of been forced you to read it three times.

the point is to be as expensive as possible and provide jobs for PHDs and Engineers so they don't leave the country.

No, expensive means it is not going to be bought. It is priced well for it's target market.
So you agree that the mostly technical Slashdot community consistently points out the ineptitudes of non-technical managers?
but yet many multi-billion dollar software companies. They must be doing something right.
so a user report, when I put 2+2 in the calculator field I get 5.
How does a crash report help with that?
