Try internation standard.
Just because the USA does it one way doesn't mean it's right.
Why the hell would anyone want to use Farenheit?!
Go metric! It's not a coincidence that everyone else in the world uses it!
The problem that MOST people don't realize is clock speed has very little to do with performance.
There was just that article where the 1.4Ghz Opteron was killing the P4 3Ghz in many benchmarks.

I'm in Winnipeg, Canada. Almost all of my friends have Cable or ADSL. I can only think of a couple people who DON'T have broadband. I'm including people who have the shit ass 'broadband' at 128/128. Otherwise about 80 percent have 2Mbit+ connections!
More people have broadband than cable packages... many ppl have basic cable with 2Mbit connection.
Everyone downloads music illegally. Everyone still buys cd's.
I have learned of so many GOOD bands that I would never of heard of had I not downloaded music for free. I couldn't even name all of the music I've discovered!
But do I still buy CD's? OF COURSE. Do I buy as much as I used to? MORE. Because before I had bought cd's which SUCK ASS... but now that I can sample music I only buy things I know I like.
Let's see, do we ever see people from abroad on tv burning Canadian flags? No.
Is Canada constantly imposing our beliefs and judicial system on others? No.
Do others resent us for that? No.
The only country that's really pissed off at us is Brasil, (spelled the proper way, there's no Z in Brasil godamnit!) and that's because we banned importation of their canned meat. (erg long story resulting from governement subsidizing of Bombardier Aircraft vs. Brasil company making aircraft... another story I won't get into it..)
So yes! "They" are not attacking CANADA! Did they attack the CN Tower? NO! They attacked the World Trade Center.
Another thing, Canada is currently in the process of decriminilizing, and innevitably, legalizing Marijuana. The US government is imposing their beliefs on us and trying to threaten us not to do so with economic sanctions! WTF?! Mind your own bloody business.
Here's what I say, we should legalize pot and grow it as a cash crop! Sell it all over the world. If the Americans try to bully us about it we say FINE FUCK YOU! We cut all energy exports to the states. OH OH! A good chunk of the US is now in brownouts. What are they going to do about it?! Attack us? Good luck, the world loves us, and hates you.
That's the thing OUR government doesn't seem to realize. WE CONTROL THE US with our ENERGY! The US plays dirty in 'free trade', so why can't we?!

...is one of the US's biggest ally in this. Bulgaria has lost every war in the last 100 years.
