"I think the RIAA should just use new media for music and stop using CD's"
They did (maybe not directly), it's called DVD. It has a audio only format.
But even if they changed to a closed format and media, the problem would be that the instaled base of cd players, either in cars, stereos, etc, is way to big to let RIAA change from cds to that new media in a period less than a few millenia... Will still having to release a cd version...
I have similar problem with my cable ISP, and I've thought of changing my local squid proxy, that resolves IP fine, to connect directly to my ISP's proxy and then issuing a CONNECT to the host real ip,
and then pass the normal HTTP request.
Due to lack of time I didn't get to implement that, but when I do, I'll try to first request the document from the ISP's proxy and only in case of an error to try the connect method.
Metric is a decimal system and the unit used to measure distances, volumes and mass.
Strictly speaking, the "meter" is a bar in a french museum of about 3.28 feet in length.
The SI (International Standard) defines the meter as the international standard for distances, and the standards for volume and mass are directly connected to meters: 1 cm3 equals a litre, and 1 Kg equals one cm3 of water at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature of 4 C.
It's the most used system, but the old british colonies and Britain it self use a different system.
But it is the standard for the scientific community.

"he said he hasn't had a problem with it"
The problem with it is that he *has* it! ;)
(Sorry, couldn't resist...)

If he can't submit code, they can't accept it.

"No, the metre is a unit of length equal to the length of the travel of light in vacuum during 1/299792458th of second."
Yes, and the speed of light is also mesaured relatively to metres...
Anyway, I'm sorry for my errors...
You're right. One dm3 is a litre, not one cm3, and I wasn't sure about the 4C. Thanks for the corrections...
