You know, the one where the serial clock was derived from the timing for the TV out, so the baud rates on European models were all just that little bit wrong.
Let's do this right, mkay? Don't use thousand-delimiters. One man's decimal marker is another man's digit group marker. I can probably use a slingshot to shoot something 36,880m straight up, because that's not even 37m. 36880m on the other hand...
Do use 1000's delimiters, it makes numbers much easier to use. Just usr the neutral ones, i.e. a space (preferably non breaking (*)).
The one advantage developing countries have over developed ones is cheap manpower. So hire a bunch of people to count the students. (In my experience this is exactly how it is done in Africa for example).
You only need a high-tech solution in developed countries because people are so expensive here.
The "UN" and it's myriad institutions is a figleaf for your rulers. It lets them do what they want and blame it on "The UN" or "WIPO" or "the WTO" or "the FMI" or "the World Bank".
Ok, good point, sorry for letting my european assumptions show.
Why would manpower be a problem? In my experience of developing countries manpower is the last problem they have. You shouldn't need highly qualified people for head counts.
Switzerland has a different culture than the US, and isn't full of subhumans yet.
If you believe your country belongs to the Swiss, don't permit that to change.
Fuck off and die you racist cunt.
(Much could be written about Swiss history (collaboration with Nazi Germany, refusal of entry to Jewish refugees), current assimilation policies (effective in some ways, possibly failing in others) and so on. But what's the point when you're answering someone who, by using the term "subhuman" reveals that he is himself sub-human).
Isn't the "global warming will turn Earth into a second Venus" - belief also a kind of religion?
I mean, hey I sure can believe that we may have a few a little-warmer-than-usual years, but if the "Hockeystick" were true, Denmark and Florida should be diving-resorts by now.

Obama has views different from me. I strongly disagree with his 2nd amendment and intellectual property stances among others.
I know I'll regret this, but....
So, what exactly is Obama's 2nd amendment stance?
I thought Henry Ford was the best comparison, to be honest.
Ah yes, the iPhone 4s, so cheap even a Foxconn worker can afford one.
Yeah, that original Macintosh was such a wide open design.
Steve Jobs is your dad?
Exactly how many unacknowledged kids did the guy have?
No, the Apple IIc.

Cheap bastards.
Well, duh.

121 000 feet is 37 000 metres.
Or save breath and say 37 Km.

Amazingly schools these days have these things called computers that can automate the process of deciding who should be present.
(And sending me a SMS when the kids miss a class or two).
So watch the other one - it's funnier.

So the problem is quite solvable from an engineering point of view, but there is the most difficult obstacle, - the social one.
Not a problem in free societies.
