You could pardon some random bloke down the pub not knowing, but if you're writing an article about it for all the world to see then it behoves you to do a bit of background reading.
The (apparent) three decimal places should have made bell ring for anyone with a bit of intelligence.
Now before somebody pastes the first thing they find on Google, I'm aware that there are (or were) currencies based on a thousand subunits. But neither the Euro nor any of its predecessors is among them.
If people's nutritional requirements were as finicky as you make out, rationing would have killed more Brits in WW2 than Hermann Goering & Rommel put together.
If we hadn't actually become extinct long before that.
If they normally sell an item back home for 100$[1] and there's 4 million Lavaturian New Kapoks to the dollar then it retails for 400 million LNK. If the dollar strengthens by 20% they'll just put it up to half a billion, because the daft sods'll pay anyway. Makes no difference to Apple.
Speaking of which: Nokia is still producing quite some infrastructure projects and selling them to operators worldwide so talking about their death is bit premature.
I thought that was a separate division that wasn't part of the sale?
the patent office gets paid to grant capricious patents
The only alternative would be to fund it out of general taxation.
That's a bad thing because there's no metric[1] involved, which means they'd be totally immune to market forces or performance related bonuses and before you know it there'd be unions, socialised healthcare and compulsory gay marriage. And nobody could be fired. Ever. Even if they shit on the coffee machine.

I thought you were jumping to conclusions but a mouseover (FFS don't click it!) confirms you're right.
Anonymous reader my spotty botty. Has the biker-wannabe jerkwad had a momentary flash of intelligence and realised that everybody hates him and the shit he posts? Or has he had a momentary flash of conscience and actually become too embarrassed to stand behind the pissflap carpaccio that he posts?

You couldn't even point to Europe on a map, you fat bastard.
It's in Nigeria.
Try again, Sanjay.
That is your real name - as opposed to the one you use when pretending to be from Microsoft - isn't it?
Are you a mineral?

If you're going to be a pedantic little prick, at least try to be right.
Here is the thing I was referring to:
Yes, it was higher up the thread. Deal with it. Grown-ups call that context.
While you're in checking mode, perhaps you could research uncountable nouns.
Good spot, I didn't notice that.
Neither, of course, did the editors. [snigger] Perhaps shitandpiss and dimmothy are working out their notice periods.
From what I've seen of sculptures and stuff they look awfully like murzlums.
I think we should err on the side of caution and bomb them back into the bronze age, just to be sure.
I hope you don't teach them English.
Your link is nothing to do with what you claimed.
Lego claim 10 micrometres. In Imperial, that's about a tenth of an RCH.
Paul Gascoigne was before that.
To get back to the question, I don't remember exactly. I would have been at Uni, so I probably saw it in the rec room.
Metamoderation is broken though. It should go back to the old system where you moderate the moderation - as the name implies.
I like them.
You should totally get rid of FartsInABong though.
Dunno about Netcraft, but if it's on Forbes Ethan will link to it.

Don't click the link. It's forbes. it won't work uunless you disable adblock, and if you do it'll install malware.
(It's Ethan, the goatblower with the shaved head and the beard, if you hadn't guessed)
Some people do.
An interesting answer.
However the one I was looking for was "Shit yes, he might be an actual priest!"
There was a hope that if they could shake off the existing dictator, it'd all be sunshine, roses, and democracy.
Instead it just created a vacancy to be filled by somebody as bad - or worse.
