A derived unit is usually singular in English, for example, the value 3 m2 K/W is usually spelled out as "three square meter kelvin per watt," and the value 3 C m2/V is usually spelled out as "three coulomb meter squared per volt." However, a "single" unit may be plural; for example, the value 5 kPa is spelled out as "five kilopascals," although "five kilopascal" is acceptable. If in such a single-unit case the number is less than one, the unit is always singular when spelled out; for example, 0.5 kPa is spelled out as "five-tenths kilopascal."
If you really wanted to waste your money, you would buy catware.com for $2788.20 and then randomly redirect to either deadcatware.com or livecatware.com.
So, since they found these inaccuracies in the article, I would like to know whether they edited them and fixed them as they went, or just played the part of the silent observer. To me, this is the great thing about Wikipedia; if you know the subject and you find an inaccuracy, be bold and fix it already.
Even better: Count how many people whine about how many people have completely missed the point of the article. Seriously, I don't see that many people missing the point, but I do see a lot of people trying to make puns out of the name.
Big whoop. If you don't like it, you're free to switch to another ISP. That's what I did when Bell quietly started blocking port 25 a couple of years ago, which was a lot more harmful to me.
There is a similar constitutional amendment (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms), but its language makes it very easy to circumvent (ie, it can be violated for what is seen as a good reason)
Yes, Section 1 of the Charter does describe the circumstances under which the government may pass a law contravening the rights outlined in it, but I would hardly say that it is very easy to circumvent.
Keep in mind that Canada, like many other countries, has laws forbidding hate speech. I believe it is still illegal to voice skepticism about the holocaust in Canada.
Yes, Canada does have laws against hate speech. The last time I checked, expressing skepticism about the holocaust itself was not hate speech.
Lead acid batteries, which I think are what are used in most hybrids, are the most recycled commodity in the country.
I think that hybrids generally use NiMH, not lead-acid batteries. For instance, the Toyota Prius. But I think that NiMH batteries are just as recyclable.
Unlike CNN (via shitty Real OnePass) it's free too.
Not true! Have you not seen the new CNN.com "with free video"? It's not even Real, so I can actually watch it if I want to. Unfortunately it's Media Player content, so I can't watch it at home. Ho hum.
I've been around since the start too, and there have always been these types of posts. As long as the ratio of good posts is kept up everything will be just fine (at least as fine as Slashdot can get).
You also shouldn't dismiss the study based on a brief summary given in a newspaper report. As a general rule, newspapers often omit several important pieces of "boring" information from the study in order to make the story more "interesting". Quotes like "Canadians between the ages of 18 and 29 are much more willing than other age groups to make illegal copies of software programs, cheat on exams or even shoplift, an Environics poll suggests" are very misleading and are likely to lead readers to the wrong conclusion. The study likely only showed a correlation. Of course, that quote doesn't actually establish causality either but it does tend to lead you towards that conclusion.
The parent didn't say that slander was free speech. Actually, it seems to me that e was implying that even honest speech against big money is difficult because you will be slapped with an ill-founded slander suit. Truth is not slander, but if you can't afford to fight it, what can you do? What good is a phone call when you are unable to speak?

Off-topic reply piggy-backing on high-karma thread to have comments appear near the top of the page.
You, sir, are absolutely brilliant.
Yes. See export of cryptography on Wikipedia.
Easy. Patent is on radio-based "push" e-mail. Obvious workaround? Go to a polling system. Downside? Significantly reduced battery life.
How does that equate to "the same functions and performance"? I have a feeling that they're not telling the whole story.
Isn't this just a waste of money? Can't I get the same results by searching Google?
RIM said the changes would require software updates, but the new system will deliver the same functions and performance.
If that's the case, why haven't they switched already?
How many times did you turn 16?
In other other news, a question mark should only be used at the end of a question?
Bull honkey.

Boo hoo. If you don't like it, build your own network. Stop complaining!

Uh, did you read the title of the article? Because it's there in 24px bold font. Did you remember to include the comma in your search string?
You should also add location.hash and location.search to that string or else it might be incomplete.

Naturally, this is right in line with Google's Copernicus initiative. I'm sure it will also help their mapping of the moon. A big win for Google!
