Suppose that you have a 25' wall that you have to divide into 6 sections. Easy, 4'2" each. Try that with a 7.575757.... meter long section of wall (1.262626... meters).
We're not talking about computers, we're talking about actually using these numbers to do something. I can think of lots of examples, if you're as smart as you claim you should be able to think of one.
Much easier to use the metric system? Howso? You obviously have never worked in the real world if you think it's easier. Can you measure a cm (or meter) using a part of your body (cause I can with an inch and a yard)? Can you easily divide a meter into 1/12ths, 1/6ths, 1/2 and 1/4 just as easily as you can into 1/10? Maybe it's convenient for your science classes, but in the real world we use real units for real reasons.
It may be out in the open, but that doesn't make it public. Their parking lot is most likely THEIR PROPERTY. If they have a storefront right on the street, and you get harrassed by the music while walking by then that's a completely different story, but I don't think that's the kind of stores we're talking about.
"[it] is it ultimately more productive for society to have people healthy and returned to the workforce even though they can not afford the treatment"
If they weren't productive enough while they were healthy to be able to afford to get well, what makes you think that they will have anything to offer when they are better?

1. The hybrid will most likely cost more to maintain and repair than a conventional car.
2. The hybrid will NOT last 15 years. In fact, as with all new car technology, it will fail rather early as the manufacturers continue to work out the 'bugs.'

No, a coward is afraid to use something convenient because it might be "too complex" for some.

try dividing a meter by 6 in your head, now try it with a foot.

Tip of my index finger, when bent the end of my finger to my knuckle is one inch. My elbow to my fingers is 0.5 yards, I have two of those.
At my school, the science classes use metric, and the ENGINEERING classes use imperial.

Isn't that exactly what they did?
Anyone who can walk up to a game of craps and know what they're doing in 5 minutes has to be several steps ahead of me.
I am. But, what's new?
Why would anybody buy it the first week if they know they can just wait a few weeks and save so much money?
It's:
In Korea only the old people discover new mammals.
AND
In Soviet Russia, the new mammal finds you!
I know this is OT, but your sig just blew my mind.

You don't have a "right" to be there. If you don't like the music the store is playing LEAVE, don't just go and vandalize their equiptment.
I would like more info on this BAED...

How do you figure?
"we are proving what we suspected to already be true."
Actually, we are not proving it to be true. We are just failing to prove it to be false.
I believe you mean is a 'hippy.' I've got a trademark on the word 'hippie' (when not being used for plural, eg 'hippies')
HL2 is not bound to a machine. It is bound to a Steam Login that can be used on ANY machine connected to the internet.

At least he's not a fucking faggot.
Canada?
He just said that he wants to keep it out of the science classroom!!!!!!!!!!

What's wrong with 900MHz phones? Seems like a solution to me.
