What's that? I think you meant "American" and were too stupid and self-important to type it
I'm not stupid and self important; just self-important. And there are plenty of people who live in a continent called North or South America who would be offended by me implicitly grouping them with people like you (I'm assuming you're a US-ian, but I've no way of finding out as you don't wish to stand over your words. Perhaps you're also one of these.)
Being wrong doesn't make you clever, it makes you wrong. And in this case, you sound incredibly fucking stupid too.
And you sound incredibly uptight and angry. You should learn to relax. Don't take things so seriously; you might live a bit longer. It'd be a shame to deprive the World of one second of your delightful, life-enhancing presence.

The closest I've seen is the "self checkouts" at the grocery stores (anyone else have these?) where you scan and bag the items yourself. (I'm still wondering how they would handle items that are sold by weight)
Re. the weight thing - there's a scales built in (e.g., Tesco). There's also some primitive weight sensor on the conveyor belt, presumably to eliminate cheating. A typical scenario at my local Tesco:
Scan item and place on belt
Belt moves so item reaches end to the bagging area
You forget to wait for the belt to stop before scanning the next item and it skooches it to the bag area before it registers its weight
Till refuses to scan your next item beacuse it thinks you didn't place the item on the belt
You walk to the end of the belt, get the last item and put it back on the start of the belt
Repeat above, depending on how much of a hurry you're in
All in all, quite annoying when you're in a rush and the damn thing keeps making you walk to the end of the belt and back.
I think you may be suffering from a hype overdose. I suggest you check in to your local ER for a stomach pump. Alternatively try being a little more cynical in future.
But try not to be so cynical that you come across as twisted and bitter. It's a fine line...

Delta-V = g * Isp * ln( MR )
where:
Delta-V: velocity required to achieve LEO (7.6 km/s best case scenario: but you need to add gravity and drag losses, add at least 1 km/s)
g: gravity (9.8 m/s)
[...]
Play around with that equation and you will see STS0 just doesn't work out yet.
Well, if you pull a favourite NASA trick and interpret g as 9.8 inches/s then things start looking peachy.
Two shows are doing the same thing but one of them is a satire and one isn't?
Because one is a cartoon and one has real people? (hint, the people on those shows are "actors")
Or simply because you, for some reason, find satire acceptible in one form and not in another?
Are you being satirical? I can't tell. Are you a cartoon or a real person?

No, we don't have to switch them. They're already like that.

Is this a rhetorical question?
Which question?
Since when is forcing someone to behave in a certain manner considered "freedom"?
Do you believe you live in a free market? Have you seen the size of the SEC rule book? Are you a troll?
In other words, you are a complete idiot.
Complete Idiot, have you met Obnoxious Jerk?

why doe the UK have to act as testers for the program, and then have to wait an additional 4 months because the test went well???

no. The mass of the stars is big, but they are very far away.
Reminds me of a Fr. Ted sketch: [Holds up toy cow] This is small, but those [points to cows in field] are far away. Small, far away.
Hats off to OO for making the clone, but it's useless to companies that already have bunch of access stuff already.
Perhaps those companies will have people smart enought to use JDBC or ODBC. Obviously, these won't be the same people who use Access.
You sure?
I guess you could call projects like this 3rd generation P2P networks. Looking forward to it!
