The U.S. Military is almost completely metric. They made a great leap when they switched 5 gallon water cans to 20 liters, which were one of the big hold outs. Still weighing aircraft fuel in pounds, and speed limits are miles per hour, but they are moving forwards. At least we only need one tool set now.
I agree. It is a pain in the neck to maintain a set of SAE and metric tools. The next part is to figure out which one to use. Is this car SAE or metric? or is it a mixture of both?
We use an instant messenger product at work, and the programmers often use it to ask me questions. I will spend about 20-30 seconds to type a 4-6 sentence response. They will take 2 minutes to respond with 4-5 words. BTW, you can see when they are responding, so I know they are typing the entire time.
Vista was a pain, but not like Windows 8. Vista had software and driver incompatabilities. It asked for permission to do things way to often. But, if you knew how to use XP, you could use Vista. Not so with Windows 8. Now, 8 has software and driver imcompatabilities also, but the dual GUI thing is its major problem.
I don't have a problem using Windows 8, my problem is it is not helping me do what I want to do. Simple things like cutting and pasting between applications is a pain. Copying text from the Metro email app to a word document is far to difficult. I have been using it since the first preview, so it is not the learning curve. Too many times the item you are working on leaves the screen so you can do some Windows function full screen.

The sudden stop on impact will cause the most damage. It's not the fall, but the sudden stop that kills you.
And forcing us to spell it "litres." How dare they.

I liked Bambi meets Godzilla. May the farce be with you.
The tree is now just 100ft further out in a field. It didn't get turned into something useful.
Have they issued a warrant for Steve's arrest? Quick, before he flees the country.
Course list looks good. Solid CS foundation.
I agree, these are all reputable programs.
Other way around. What's the point of hardware except to support software? I don't do anything with just hardware.
Word has more features, but Google Docs is good enough for most people. Depending on what you use, Docs is good enough.
All in favor, say aye!
Or did it drop that support like the latest Kernel?
Do you end every sentence with a semi-colon?

Most /.ers are far from good typists. You can tell by the typos.
This is how islands form and erode. This is some kind of surprise?

They will piss off someone in Anonymous at some point, and they will take them down.
Seems to work in other situations.
Mathematica. Best of the best.
My god, it's full of stars!
River of hydrocarbons and no one is blaming BP for the spill?
