What's so awkward about centigrades? You start counting when water freezes and when the water boils you've reached 100 degrees. Simple, eh?
And what about meter? It's the most intuitive and natural measure for distances, as one can observe from it's definition: "Metre is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of ( 1/299792458 ) of a second"
And there you go, no more crashed space probes. And you can drive faster too, 50 mph is about 80 kmh.
My thoughts exactly, open up those technologies and maybe mozilla group could take advantage on those, among others. I bet samba group wouldn't mind supporting winfs.
If there are so many people wanting it, how come none of those people are willing to do something about it? Except bitching and moaning, of course. It really isn't that hard to do. So make your own DVD, it's as 'official' as any Knoppix version there is.
You see, here in Europe, we like to drive our cars, stolen or bought. So usually they are not chopped up. Most likely it's somewhere in the former Soviet Union already with a new proud owner.

Many, many servers will never get patched, due to lazy ass, stupid people, who think they can use their kick ass computer.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people

Wasn't that George Bush Sr? Oh, I see, you mean the time he was in the National Guard. Wasn't GWB kicked out from there because he didn't want to go to Vietnam to defend the Free World?
Here in Finland one IT-magazine ran such a joke on it's april issue a few years back. They claimed that one could visit the local bank and buy special ink and paper to print out money at home.
I don't know how many people fell for it, but I found it mildly amusing:-)
Slashdot Mirror
And since Opera Software is a Norwegian company, I doubt they'd make a press release only in danish :-)
I'm sorry, but if this thing gets to a court room, US legal system loses it's last remnants of dignity.

That resolution is from 1983 and as I understand it, it is the current definition of a meter (or is it metre?)

oh, I don't know... How about not sell him chemical weapons?
419 refers to section in Nigerian criminal law, that applies to these scams.
No reference this time, use google for more info

How hard is that to realize? A nation of convicted criminals is hardly a model society.

Yah, I know this is not PC, but I can't keep away from an easy mark
