You're wrong about Dolby Pro Logic. It actually encodes multichannel infor in stereo recordind using phase shift. So it can accurately place sound in the rear channel.
I have a Sony telephone from mid 90s, which has a wheel for scrolling through phonebook or caller IDs with a "select" button in a center. Very sismilar to 1G iPod, lacks only buttons around the wheel.
A radio with a space for your iPod to actually slide into it - or an iPod dock that flips out of it somehow for the iPod to stand on, as long as it's secured well enough to not fall off when you corner like I do - would be pretty user-friendly.
This is not going to happen. Apple changes iPod form factor with every generation, and even within the same generation, high capacity iPods are thicker, requiring different docs. Maintaining compatibility would be too expensive- considering that no more than few percent of car owners have iPods.
That is unfortunate- I myself imagind car stereos where a cassette slot is relpaced with an "iPod slot".
Salo though, is horrible stuff.
Oh, no, yu are wrong! Good, fresh salo is difficult to find, but it is as good as a quality sushi. But it's taste degrades very fast, wehn quality goes down.
I understand what you are saying about skipping the sizes. I wanted to say that if 17mm wrench doesn't fit, I know for sure that there is no 17.5 wrench, while SAE may have something/64. Anyway, to many sizes is not a fault of the metric system itself, but rather easily fixable inconvinience. But how do you solve 1/4 vs 7/32 situation? Is it natural for you to add 14'7 3/8" and 9'8 11/16"? Even comparing package sizes in supermarket is PITA- not not a massive one, but still... Units of speed on highways are irrelevant- both US and metric work fine, but for anything involving conversion metric is clearly better. People can get used to anything- I don't think I have more problems with imperial system than native born americans, but I doubt I wll ever like it.
This is first time when somebody actually argues that imperial system is better. Usually people say "It's bad, but we are used to it".
People fight over 1 degree on thermostat just because of their nature. Switching to Centigrade would bring piece to families:) I couldn't hack my car climate control, so it remains in F, and I feel no difference until I push the button at least twice. While I agree, that 1km/h difference isn't noticable when driving, the same goes for 1mp/h.
Let's say you are working on a car, tried 1/4" socket and it is too big. Should you pick 17/32? or 7/16?. I agree, it doesn't take that long to calculate, but the choice between 5mm and 6mm is clearer. I've been living in States for quite a while, but I still don't rmember number of feet are in a mile or number of ounces in a gallon. Beer? 0.5l mug is perfect! Althought in Germany many people drink from huge 1L glasses. Small soft drink is usually o.2 or 0.25l glass- which more or less equivalent of a US cup- another weird measurment unit.
Third, US measurements are often much more useful in everyday situations.
Good examples of this would be measuring temperature in degrees farenheight and speed in MPH
To me the opposite is true. I don't find MPH more convinient than KPH, but with miles the issue of miles-feet-yards conversion comes up sooner or later. Farenheight is simply horrible. 0 and 100 degree points are meaningless, while 0 at freezing and 100 at boiling make excellent reference point. 1 degree Centigrade is the smallest difference which can be felt by human body in everyday situation.
They offer free POP3 and IMAP email with unlimited storage. They start with 40MB mailbox, but as soon as you have less than 10MB left, you can push a button on a web-interface and add another 40. Rince, repeat.

I don't think it is going to help. After reading the advisory, I have an impression that, as long as OSPF process is up,any interface is vulnerable- regardless of participation in OSPF routing.

I am not sure if you are right. All TV stations employ Time Base Correctors for their analog signals. TBCs recreate the sync pulses.

See? If they skip 1 size in metric wrenches, you notice it right away. With imperial, I wouldn't even know if the set I bought is incomplete.

I never buy anything advertized with words "magic", "miracle", "revolutionary", "incredible", "amazing". It helps to avoid all kinds of junk.
And I want my cell phone with built in film camera!
Toyota MR2 was a problem in French speaking countrys. MR2 sounds like merde (sp?), which stands for shit in French.

Google is a company that isn't an asshole, thusfar.
Seven or so years ago eBay also wasn't an asshole.
