Seriously. If you're point is to get the picture to ask some geek hag to marry you because you've grown beyond virtual girl and want a real one then hire the stinking sky writing pilot to spell out "@SkankyGurl, will you marry me?" - so the whole bay area can see it, take a picture of it and post it to the internets.
Imperial measures, on the other hand, are totally psychotic. 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 5,280 feet to a mile. It is the type of nonsense that we would expect to see in Dr. Seuss story, not it real life.
Of course, hardly anyone ever converts from feet to miles or vice versa once they get out of school. It's 40 miles to my mother-in-law's house. Why would I possibly care that it's also 201200 feet?
It should also be noted that dividing or multiplying by three isn't really hard even for exceptionally stupid people, so feet-yard conversions are no big deal.
I've seen measurements of the distance to your mother-in-law's house and it's actually slightly over 40 miles at 201327 feet. I understand that distinction to be a sticking point between you and the CrimsonCountess because you see the extra 127 feet as beneficial whereas she sees it as just more annoying distance to keep her from here beloved Mum.
Let's not introduce ambiguity to the argument. It is precisely 2.54 cm per inch. It may be the only metric/imperial measurement conversion that is accurate at only 2 decimal places.
As a side note... "inch" derives from a term meaning "one twelfth part". Doesn't explain why we're dividing by 12 but it does give a piece of the etymology. Likewise, pound and pint stem from the same linguistic root - plus a pint of pure water at 4C weighs a pound.
OK, so I'm intrigued but, nowhere in this series of tubes we call the Internets can I find a reference to a project web site or anything about where to find early adopter tools.
As Dr. Evil said... "Throw me a frickin' bone here!"
Actually, although IANAL I can tell you with certainty that from a legal perspective posting on Facebook IS publishing. It may be not as public as a newspaper or a billboard but it is definitely publishing. Writing on you blog is publishing. Your Twitter feed can even be defined/construed as publishing.
If you consider vi simple as opposed to a complex tool, then Linux is pretty much beyond me, also.
Never hard wire simple to "easy to use" in a technical arena.
vi does a great job as a straight forward console text editor. "Easy to use" often requires addition of complex tools like mouse integration.
Before the invention of the axle the wheel was difficult to use. Adding a suspension system made use of the wheel easier still. None the less, the wheel is a particularly simple invention which can be difficult to use.
Because universities recognize that teaching is an important part of learning and all of these sophomore instructors of freshman classes are being watched by the fully degreed professor anyway.
On top of that, if you dream of being a game designer you should be well versed in sed, awk and regex, plus a few core skill sets like parsing XML/XSLT and other data persistance techniques.
Actually, I am the center of the Universe, and I can prove it... so long as we agree on the premise that the Universe is infinite. If given a finite universe more research is required both to determine the center, and to calculate when the "big crunch" will begin.
So, according to the federal agency owning the content of that linked page, not only are you not permitted to show their official logo, you are not permitted to reference their name or initials.
How does one refer to the federal agency responsible for domestic criminal investigations in the United States of America without becoming overly wordy, or inadvertently violating the law that officers of said agency are sworn to enforce?
In high school there was a small group of miscreants who took the phrase "To boldly go where no man has gone before" to new depths of depravity. To this group to "Shatner" was to eliminate bodily waste in a place where it was presumed "no man has gone before."
One year at homecoming it was reported that somebody had "Shatnered" on the 50 yard line.

"Who deserves more credit?"
Why does everything have to be a competition? Can't we accept that both groups have done a great job?

That's it.
All they want here is to re-invent Twitter. Or, is it FourSquare, or Angry Birds?

Still, the old addage stile holds...
Noone ever got fired for buying IBM.
In my office they banned blue jeans so I'm going with Slackware.
I see it now! they call it the Microsoft Window PC (Note, singular form of "Window").
Hey! My Window is booting to Linux!
How long is a piece of string?
How trampy is ( choose one of B. Spears, K. Perry, other of your choice ) ?
How evil is Microsoft?
So many questions... so few answers.

ROFL. The dyslexic part of my brain took over for a second there and I read that as

Of course, what they're not telling you is that they obtained 80% more surface area by reshaping the surface.
There's a HUGE difference between a surface with a linear cross section like this...

There is no spooning in prison
There, fixed that for you
And that mission statement is....
"All your base are belong to us."
It decrypts to "All your base are belong to us."

And what would a /.er know about the frequency of diddling?
