Most product labels have both. The engineering side of things is slowly doing both.(the national electric code was published in 2011 with both units included for everything.
School sciences teach both. and at least the ones I attend preferred metric internally.
The only thing that probably won't change like briton are street miles, though if they pushed the mile right up to the Nautical mile I wouldn't mind. Most people wouldn't even notice but their car MPG would go down slightly.
So when reading paper files on your desk you hold them all vertical? or do you leave them laying on the desk?
If you use a touch screen as your keyboard(bad usability without haptic feedback, but possible) then when you need a large drawing pad your a touch or slide the keyboard away.
What gets me is that people won't use computers like they use the rest of their desk. on a computer you are normally only viewing on page of information at a time. maybe two if your lucky and running multiple screens. you have one keyboard and one mouse and maybe if your lucky and use it a wacom.
but on your desk you will have pages of data floating at your finger tips, multiple forms/types of input, etc.
I actually like the ribbon. Basically all it is, is a pictorial, long text menu. The dialog boxes it brings up are the exact same ones found from the menus. If you weren't a power user(like 95% of Office users) you could find features faster with the ribbon.
Metro on the other hand works poorly,(try installing an old game where they put 12 shortcuts for everything in their menu). touch is an important part of all future interfaces. However Metro isn't user friendly.
Why do we consider the monitor vertical to be the only way to position a monitor?
You have a keyboard and mouse pad, lying on your desk. why not a second monitor as well?
MSFT surface tables could easily be integrated into many businesses.
Can you imagine an architect you can lay out blueprints on a large drafting table monitor? Where many people can stand around it? While windows 8 is a mistake from user interface, it is only because it takes away choice. a simple service pack could easily fix those issues.
If your a drunk driver you have already proven your self to be immature irresponsible and unable to control your impulses.
Having one or two drinks generally doesn't make you drunk. You can drink responsibly. You can even drink intelligently. drinking water or other non alcoholic beverages, eating, etc slows down the asorbtion of alcohol into your body giving you a longer time to process it.
The integration of the new CRM and ERP system is proven. We won't be the first company to install it, we won't even be the 1000th. They have worked out most their bugs and are used to dealing with the database transfer.
We also didn't have any consultants, just a couple of salesmen, a solid idea of what we were looking to address, and went with a known ERP provider in the industry we work with. One whose sales pitches does say things like digital signature capture, and digital order picking.
Those things are what will save paper in the long term.
As for the price it is a known quantity. Basically we are buying licenses, hardware, data transfer, and trainers. The end software is ready to go. it just has to be filled with data.
and three people in my office go through a box of 5000 pages every 3 weeks.
Of course we are printing invoices, and order fulfillment sheets, but they all get printed.
We are getting a new CRM, ERP software which should allow us to go mostly paperless.(figure cut down by 2/3rds) however that is going to cost us $100,000 in software, and who knows how much else in training fees.
In the end it will be worth it as we can streamline other areas of operations. and we ditch a giant headache of ERP system that we are currently dealing with.
The big trick to paperless is making sure people can deal with the documents easily in electronic format. That is something that is still being worked out by software companies.
Here is the trick what kind of heavy typing are you doing on the web?
Are your forum and slashdot posts that long that you need a keyboard to enter them?
Tablets are great for web surfing as most of web surfing is click a link. If your doing massive data entry on a tablet then your holding the internet wrong.
Actually paying for the ones the previous administration put on credit cards. Seriously look at the tax plans he isn't Spending any more than Bush did. the problem is that the long term loans are starting to come due and The US government can't pay for it.
In Clintons last couple of lame duck years the republican controlled house and senate forced through some decent long term tax and social security plans the kind to prevent the situation we are in now. The thing is Bush wiped those plans out and cut the interest rate for 8 years down to nothing to stimulate the economy. Which worked for only the housing market but that was enough to cloud the issue up. It also led to numerous secondary issues like the housing bubble, and the lack of incoming taxes effectively hobbled the government which then had to take loans to cover short term debt. Those loans are what Obama is trying to cover up.
Personally I am just waiting for the other shoe to completely drop. either we stagnate just like we are for about 8-10 more years or the bottom completely falls out and all that money the 1% have been saving up becomes worthless as the value of the dollar collapses completely.
The difference is I don't have the financial backing. He probably wouldn't even need a loan to do what I suggested.
Put it into perspective. your house needs a new roof, you have the money sitting in a bank account but you don't want to put the new roof on you would rather it leak and put pots under the dripping water.
This Guy owns outright PRIME real estate in a PRIME real estate market.
I don't think we should have a law.
Then again then top 1% control 20% of the wealth. If they aren't spending that money then what good is it? If 20% of the value of our money is worthless because it isn't being used then our entire currency system is 20% overvalued. That is the fault of guys just like him. and a government made of people like him who have who take and take and take to keep only for themselves.
Social Security is being called an entitlement. but it isn't it is a retirement loan sponsored by the government which you have to pay into. politicians in years past(both sides) instead of investing that money into the future spent it. Now it is gone, and the loans are coming due. So instead of fullfilling the obligations the government is trying to cut corners and take more of that money for themselves by not paying it out and calling it an entitlement.
So the Rich are hoarding their cash. The government is spending money like a drunk. and everyone who is under 30 is going to have their grand kids pay off the debt incurred because of it.
The government will default. and that 20% of wealth will evaporate. He would be better off putting that cash into properties that will still be there to pick up the pieces. Instead the building will be knocked down or sold out from under him in 5 more years.
he is earning $20 million a year. and paid 117 million for it in 1997.
The building is not only paid for in full but he could literally spend $50 million redoing the interior(the next ~two years of income) and then rent out the space for another 5-10 million a year.
It is what is wrong with the Republican Piss Down Theory. This guy is literally sitting on his money.It isn't really doing him as good as it should. If he was actually investing in that property I could see it but he isn't.
In NYC that location? he could be doing 50-100% more income on that property.
After 12.5 years Some 4,500 updates.( you have to count days and leap years). I would hope the artist not only gets better with that kind of practice but faster too.
I read schlock daily. It is awesome. Multi year story arcs, Stories from multiple points of view. Consistency that Hollywood doesn't dream as possible.
Characters flawed, but very few actually over the top. everyone has a reason(logic, emotional, money) for doing exactly what they are doing and when.
Of course the trick there is that the offspring of ALL those species are half way or more to maturity in 12 months. The Majority of those species are WALKING in days.
a human 12 month old is barely mobile(in relative comparison at least) Human's are one of the slowest species to mature. Human Kids take over a year to do something just as simple.
Monogamy gives us time to actually raise the kids. As it takes multiple humans to raise one child.
Or you know lava tubes formed when the volcanic island was formed.
Also any one who has looked at the Hawaiian islands should note one fact the biggest islands are the most recently formed. The oldest islands are the smallest. The older they are the smaller they are.
That is the point. with so many absurd patents out there that slashdot and the tech community have been calling for a while now all it took was for a Non troll(apple produces products) to start shooting their patent missiles only to realize that they are not only firing duds but ones that might explode on lift off doing more damage to yourself than the enemy.
For a while patents were defensive no one wanted to be stupid enough to use them in mass attacks.
Of course stupidity rises to the top and so all it takes is one dumb CEO and an itchy trigger finger.
It happened to be Apple. I love my mac hardware but damn the company deserves this.
exactly. they may even only watch one play from one camera angle, but then once the play has been deemed good enough go back to other angles to pick it out.
If you have 330,000 hours of video then you need to have a group of people watching that video live, and tagging sections for others to watch, who tag the best of those sections for someone else to watch and then compile it all into short clips.
Not only that but have a standard method of measuring said usage.
Comcast and aT&T both have caps but only count data that isn't theirs.
So comcast digital phone isn't included in the cap but if you use Vonage it is.Comcast Xinifty TV also isn't included in the cap.
AT&T charge for TCP header information but only when it isn't there header information.
basically all i want is someone to lay out what one gigabyte of usage is.
Or at regulate it so the caps makes sense. As bandwidth isn't really dependant on usage. We bill electricity per kilowatt hour not Kilowatt. If you download 10 gigs in one hour you get throttled for the next 4 hours. But after those 4 hours your back to full speed. So you can download 9 more gigs at the full speed.

Well considering the current popular idea is that children born on US soil of immigrants are still immigrants. I would say at least 4-5 generations.
That basically makes 75% of the current US population an immigrant.As the majority came through 100 years ago.

As the AC also said right now some of the best ideas in engineering are coming from studying nature.
Why are plant cells so efficient at harvesting light and how can we duplicate that ability?
The real trick about advanced technology it is driven by material science and nature does somethings incredibly awesome.
The difference is I don't have the financial backing. He probably wouldn't even need a loan to do what I suggested.

just remember birth control helps but isn't 100% effective.
I have known several women on the pill who got pregnant. A tiny pinprick of a hole makes a condom worthless.
Do you throughly check your condoms with a microscope before use?

No they don't.
They didn't have the theater space.
they have had 40 years to work on the story telling aspects. fake3d came out in the 70's.
Sure they use polarized lens instead of colored ones but it is the same thing.
It still sucks.
Not for me it made me throw up. but then again so does fake3D now.
Not everyone sees stereoscopically.

That works for at max 4 weeks. and then it comes back.
when you eat less your body slowly adjusts it's metabolism to compensate.
It is why you lose weight quickly in the beginning of a new diet and taper off the more you go.

I owned a 12 ga shotgun, and helped my father reload our shotgun shells when i was 16.
Not only did I posesses all of the above, I also had access to actual explosives.
