But cleaning the house shows RESPECT for your company
The problem with your argument is that real respect for others is not a very typical trait of people who attach great importance to ties. Besides being self-evident (if they did repsect people, as opposed to eppearences, they would respect whatever the person chose to wear), it also fits well with my experience.
Nothing wrong with wearing them, but requiring others to really does reveal priorities in a not very flattering way.
The Imperial system may use a metric shitload of inconsistent conversion factors, but for the units one uses day-to-day it's not hard to remember.
But if it used the same factor everywhere you wouldn't need to remeber anything, and would get huge gains for any sort of calculation (not, not just for hyper-precise ones or on non-human scales)
I get to use smaller numbers for day-to-day things
Day-to-day things come in many sizes. You just picked ones that happened to fit your assertion.
It is far, far easier to split measurements in the English scale into fourths and thirds. The math is much simpler to do in your head. Halves work just as well as in Metric (Decimal). Fifths work better under Metric, but English can do sixths.
Very true. Being able to divide by 5 in exchange for 3, 4 and 6 is a a rotten deal just in number options, and usually the only reason you need 5 is because of base-10 numbers or units, not the other way around.
But: that by no means justifies all the inconsistent crap you get with imperial for other reasons. 12 is not used consistently in imperial, so you get all sorts of weird conversion factors, and you still use a base-10 for the math, so it all ends up a mess for all but the most trivial calculations.
Ia perfect world, we would have a system much like SI, but it and the standard number system would be base-12, right from when you learnt your 10(12)-sums and multiplication tables. Now that would be a joy to work with.
Yes there are; the ones you said would have to be tethered, wheras existing proposals to deploy such platforms are based on free-floating solar powered ones.
would require a hell of a lot of power to stay in one place using propellers, far more than you'd expect them to be able to pick up from solar power.
I haven't done the math, but there seem to be qualified people who think otherwise. Remember we're in the stratosphere here. Less drag, gentle weather, practically no clouds, longer days, etc.
So I can see why they're investigating microlights.
Virtual reality should be just that -- a representation of reality.
Sorry. My virtual reality should be anything I want it to be, and if you don't like it, find another one or build your own. Limiting my options in creating worlds, including my ability to enforce restrictions that deviate from normal reality, would be censorship.
Now, if you mean restrictions on what VRs should/should not be required to filter, that's a different story. A similar one to the problem of what ISPs and chat hosts should be required to filter. A simple question to some, complex to others.
#1 is true. #2 is irrelevant for this type of worm. They don't require install priviliges, or at least can easily be written not to. #3 is irrelveant for most users because they are the type to be hit by #4. They don't know what a patch is, and no matter how many users you manage to drag out of that group, the vast majority will still be in it.
All you would need to get the same worm situation on Linux as on Windows is to get all the amateurs using it, and for the most popular mail program to have a moderately easy way to run "fun attachments" as the current user. That would be a badly designed mail program, but has nothing to do with OS security.
Well, I don't know who was first, but bleep is certianly not the only one. eMusic sells 192kb mp3s at very reasonable rates (provioded you actually download your mothly quota).
In Norway you could just take them to court if you're reasonably sure they don't have a case: they will very likely be ordered to cover your legal expenses if the court is convinced the case is even slightly frivolous.
If so, go for the unabashedly homemade look: just use your inkjet, normal art supplies, some sticky foil, and cernit or something for modeling peieces by hand (great fun BTW).
Also check out sketchup. Not exactly the same interaction techniques (because it's more architecture-oriented), but similar step in the "right direction" in uasbility.
My first thought as well. Or a "friendship cold": "give this letter and a big sloppy kiss to 5 of your friends...".
Unfortunately, if the virus only thrives in the tumors you probably won't be very contagious even if you have the right type of cancer, and not at all if you don't.
It noise reduction for city dwellers really only forcefully subsidizes urbanization, a trend you should perhaps consider reversing (especially considering the current attitude towards environmentalism in the EU).
Yeah, let's make Europe one big sprawl where you have to drive for miles do anything. That'll help.

I think a more promising line of attack is to look at what mammals and birds have in common to let them survive what the dinosaurs didn't.
How else would they know when the camera takes pictures,
Umm, from the web site, maybe?
Yeah, just like it stands to reason to assume that a random fashion victim is probably really, really bright...

Proble just naive pronounciation-based spelling.
The cable still needs to go through thunder clouds (from time to time) and down to the ground.
But I'm sure they've thought of some way of handling that. I just liked the mental image...
There are "no airships in question"
Yes there are; the ones you said would have to be tethered, wheras existing proposals to deploy such platforms are based on free-floating solar powered ones.

Sure, I'm not really disputing that.
Esp. in bad weather, a lot of electricity at the same time :-)
Are you joking? The airships in question would of course not be mere blimps but dirigibles, using solar power and propellers to stay in place.
There may be advantages to microlights, but the effect of one losing power and falling down on your head (or house) is not one of them...

African ones or European ones?

Uh, where did you get the idea these bugs are AB resistant?

well this is the partly the basis of the appeal isn't it?
More likely the appeal was accepted mainly in order to build strong precedent.
