How is linux not well documented?
There are a zillion books in the book stores, there are a zillion howto's on the web, there is documentation on all the download pages.
Not that kind of documentation, you big freak!
In this case, "not well documented", refers to the record of where the source code came from and who originally wrote it.
I'm going to do this again, with a 65 chars user name so the only way it will get out into the wild is via Hotmail letting someone else in on its existence.

Yeah, it was nice of George H. W. Bush to sign the executive order which notified government agencies that they must have their metric conversion plans completed and approved by the end of 1991. I can't understand why he likes to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, though.
I do not understand why the US won't change to metric, it would be so much simpler.
We do. You're misinformed.
In 1866, Congress authorized the use of the metric system in the USA and supplied each state with a set of standard metric weights and measures.
The US is one of the original 17 signatory nations of the 1875 Treaty of the Meter.
In 1893, the metric system was adopted as the fundamental standard for length and mass in the United States.
Congress passed the Metric Conversion Act of 1975, "to coordinate and plan the increasing use of the metric system in the United States", and a process of voluntary conversion was initiated.
Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 which amended the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and designates the metric system as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce.
Federal agencies were to use the metric system in their procurement, grants and other business-related activities by the end of 1992.
The sooner the USofA joins the rest of the world in adopting the logical, easy to use and calculate metric system, the sooner we will all be better off.
We do use the metric system, you're just very naive:

And the camerawork/editing wasn't too good either, but I dunno if that was him or that his budget couldn't afford good directors/editors.
His budget was 1/5 of what Star Trek Voyager's was, and, IIRC, most of the money went to the talent. He had to work with what he had, and occasionally this meant that there was too much ring flare.

Yes it does. It's called the second ammendment.
They were very expensive too. That's why we used phone cable, and one of those DIN to RJ-11 adapters.
It worked great for Spectre VR in the dorm.
They are not RFCs, they are drafts. Big difference.
"Heat Seeking Moisture Missle" is prior art.
Considering that D-Link, Netgear, and Linksys make powerline ethernet adapters, I'd say the technical issues have been solved...
You mean powerline ethernet? Sure...
My mileage dropped drastically after pieces of the neighbors' cat got caught in the air intake.
If it hadn't been a black cat I wouldn't have run over it at night.
So, yes, mileage depends on the cat's color.
No you don't. You share your ZIP code with the other 3,053 people in Harvest.
Your ZIP+4 code, however, may be specific to your household.
Many people have their own ZIP+4 code.
If it's not related to work, yes. Duh.

Which, of course, is measured in yards. ;)

Point your browser here.Well, for one thing, neither the Secretary of the Navy, nor the U.S. Department of Agriculture should be using inches.
Woah, is that okay with the Wizard? He is a Yank, afterall.

Point your browser here.Personally, I don't see how my use of kilograms to purchase olive loaf at the corner deli is going to benefit you any.
This is a popular misconception. The fact is, the U.S. does use the metric system. See here for a list of laws.
And why exactly is this an issue?
His budget was 1/5 of what Star Trek Voyager's was, and, IIRC, most of the money went to the talent. He had to work with what he had, and occasionally this meant that there was too much ring flare.
There was a writer's strike during the second season, which is why the second season ended up being so bad.
Oh, and the Ferengi with their sharp, pointy teeth and ginormous ears didn't have any effect on you? (assuming you're into Star Trek)
Which is relevant to a PS2 discussion how exactly?
