If/. is any measure, I doubt it. All you have to do is mentions something in feet or pounds and the Europeeeons come out of the woodwork to say you are nothing but an American bastard and why can't the US us the fucking metric system (one reason is we can count past 10, we don't need everything to be increments of 10 to understand them).
But seriously, do you really think the internet is that strong? Most lusers just look up porn or sell shit on EBay. Has the radio or television created a uni-culture world-wide? Don't get me wrong, whenever those guys over at Amazon start turning a profit, you might see a change in global spending and the death of the mall might come about in 20 years (btw, what is the metric equivelant for a year?) won't that be a grand day. No more malls!! I can't wait to be shut out of my favorite sweater selling web site because of mob of grandmothers are hogging all the bandwith.
Only with long and painful process of soulsearching and admission of (historical) guilt can a white learn to live as a world citizen in a colorblind multicultural world
I don't want people to be color-blind. I want people to see my color. To see my heritage. I just don't want them to pre-judge me based on it. Just respect me for who I am, my thoughts and opinions. Don't disrespect me based on my appearance.
It's bleeding heart liberalism like this that is preventing us from moving forward. Do you thing affirmative action is helping or hurting? Do you think mandating minority hiring is raising people's opinion of minority's qualifications or abilities?
Me? I'd be very careful who I talked to about this. It sounds like someone dangerous wrote it... someone who might snap at any moment, stalking from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 Carbine-gas semiautomatic, bitterly pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. Might be someone you've known for years... somebody very close to you. Or, maybe you shouldn't be bring me every little piece of trash you pick up.
Go cry about measurment standards to the rest of the EU (the only people who seem to give a rats ass).
The kid was born in the US, we are going to measure and weigh her by our standards, HAHAHAHAHA now piss off.
ps - I demand a hand recount, I don't think the height and weight are right, if for some reason you get he same outcome - recount again. After that we go to court fuckers!
Debating the issue with the "politically strong faction" weighs heavily on their opinions and thoughts as to why moving to Exchange is a good idea. If they want it because of an article they read or a sales pitch they've heard, a simple retort to what they have been told could suffice. If they are in the know, and are planning for an NT migration, well then, that's another matter all together.
Offtopic, I'll show you Offtopic! You don't know what Offtopic is Mr. Trask! I'd show you but I'm too old, I'm too tired, and I'm too fucking blind. If I were the man I was five years ago I'd take a flame-thrower to this place. Offtopic, who the hell do you think you're talking to? I've been around you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit, there is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot-soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs but I say that you are executing his soul. And why? Because he's not a Baird man. Baird men, you hurt this boy, you're going to be Baird Bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, fuck you too.! .
Then I submit we begin a discussion of the mating habits of the extinct Banana Slug of California.
Banana slugs are hermaphrodites and usually cross fertilize. Banana slugs often eat each other's slime before mating. They begin to circle each other and may bite each other's right side. They spend hours mating and then try to separate. Since banana slugs have such large male organs, it is difficult to separate. At times, it is impossible, in which case the banana slugs take advantage of their ability to apophallate, or gnaw off the stuck organ. The banana slug's mating rituals are very unusual.
Is this news for nerds? Is this important to the open source community, or any other community for that matter outside Mrs. Balducci's 4th grade class in an unnamed Denver suburb?
It amazes me what people find time to accomplish.
Screw you guys, I'm going to Windows!
Very nice, standing behind the Anonymous Coward label. What did I say that you take issue with? I'm sorry, were the British about to stomp Nazi aggression prior to America's involvement? Have you not experienced gas (I'm sorry: petrol) problems? I am sure you are right, your response was well thought out and intellectual on it's own. You are like the fat kid everyone picks on that responds to his antagonizers by telling them to shut up, or what are you going to sit on me? are you going to tell my mom? How very typical on an AC.

Just dump a link on us, please don't copy and paste the fucking article.
You are truly sad, now go play with your dolls loser. I mean really, Ghostbusters 400 times!! Isn't that Betamax wore out yet?
Dude, you ain't right
Like any other M$ feature that is "optional", I am sure there will be a reg hack if you want to change your mind afterwards.

As the W in WIPO stands for World, I guess their limitations are only confined by gravity and their gravy filled minds of morality.
