The basis of the units are irrelevant; consistency in their use is. Unless you're able to tell me that the length of a path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 is directly related to landing a probe on Mars.
There are compromises in turbine design. If they're designed to turn in low wind, their top speed is reduced, and vice versa. These are solvable problems, but not easy ones.
But that's not what the ignorant Jerkopean said: he apparently thought the entire USA didn't care about seat belts. He's also ignorant of the fact that the front seat is not a suitable location for a child seat even with no air bag. It's safer in back.
I won't be satisfied until fetching princesses from Alderaan can have their likenesses projected holographically from my phone. Preferably, a droid phone.
To be fair, due to the aspect ratio a 24" screen is about the same as a 20" CRT when you're looking at 4:3 stuff... which is still quite often with TV.
What are you talking about? Are you stuck in the 1970s? You can have any traditional phone service you want... just about any long-distance company over copper, or you can use something like Vonage over broadband. The lines ARE open, but companies still have to pay to set up the infrastructure. Making the people pay for that to be done IS socialism; it's not some stupid straw-man joke.
As far as cell phones, I don't think there are many areas where you can only get one provider. And if there is, it's a failure of the competition to put their equipment in the towers. Again, if you want more "choice" you'd have to make the taxpayers pay for it... and it's kind of pointless once you have de facto government phones, right?
For example in contrast to most other countries, many Chinese government officials have engineering backgrounds, and they "get" technology, and thus they seem to make much more intelligent decisions for their countries in many areas, e.g. manufacturing.
China has a planned economy, whereas the US has something resembling a free market.
In contrast, U.S. politicians are all lawyers, who are adept only at diverting and twisting issues for their own agenda rather than a pure sense of "good" and "not as good".
Good in what way? Pure morality, good for the most people, or a compromise between favoring the majority without trampling the rights of the minority? China is "successful" with a bunch of engineers in charge because the good of the state always trumps the needs of the minority. I'm not saying our lawyer-driven quagmire of a federal government is better, it's just better suited to a non-authoritarian government.
The best boss I ever had was female, and black. I don't assume this means that women make better bosses any more than I think you're racist because you think Obama is a bad president. By the way, her management style was not democratic. She did what most capable managers do: assign tasks to those most capable of them and improve the skills of those who are lacking.

You accidentally the verb.

Can't believe your post made it past the fucking lameness filter. "Fucking" must be an incompressible word! This demands further study.

Straw man much?

Or, they might believe that it's not within Congress' authority to prohibit the practice.
Uh... Dodd-Frank? I know that was WAYYYYYY back in 2010.
As I recall, the USA was the first to put a man on the moon, and they did it without instituting an authoritarian socialist government.
"Science would never allow that?" That's the problem right there: assuming that science is a moral system.
That's D.C. math right there! File that along with calling increasing funding by a smaller amount than you increased it last year as a "cut".

They should have Foxconn build the phone. Then when their employees jump off the roof, they can stream their suicide to the internet in HD.

So basically you're not getting blu ray because you expect a 42" TV and speakers to cost as little as a 25" monitor.
The players are US $75 for Sonys and Samsungs. What is your price point, anyway?
Cable companies do this.

And Willie sure does know how to hook a 'gator wit' one. Yahoo!
Ironic that you start off a post about tolerance by calling your opponents basement-dwelling nerds.

This assumes that managing in a more democratic manner is good. Business is not government.
Santorum is President? I must have missed something.
