i don't think many people actually have an idea how much a pint is. it's... a beer in uk:) it's a bit bigger than oh-five, so not much to complain about that. some pubs "on the continent" also do "british pint" drinks, but again - everybody just knows "it's a bit more than standard beer".
and, as a supporter of the metric system, i'm totally fine with pint staying as a curiosity historical unit, only applicable to that single thing;)
we burned all kind of crap to produce smoke, poured acid on plants (we had to water them...) and did lots of other things i don't remember anymore. every now and then we got in trouble. in the worst cases, parents were asked to come to school, but even that was very rare (and thus worked fairly well:) )
even bringing home-made weapons to school (shurikens ! ninjas were tops !) only resulted in them being confiscated and parents notified.
i've measured and photographed lots of buildings that are important for americans - in florida. so i'm suspicious for mapping supermarkets on openstreetmap.
what about http://krita.org/ ? i've only played with it a bit and my image editing needs are very basic anyway, but it would be interesting to see it compared to gimp for professional use
come to osm;) we now also have a new javascript based editor in beta, if you don't want to use something more heavy - http://openstreetmap.us/iD/release
are you the one who created waze or just trolling ?:) you can actually get all openstreetmap data. all of it. for free. openstreetmap has much better coverage.
the only thing waze offers on top of osm is the mobile application... which would be great to see somebody build on top of osm, of course:)
as others have noted, but to make it perfectly clear...
waze is not using osm data. waze is not contributing to osm data. if you contribute to waze, it goes in a closed, proprietary database that you are not allowed to use (or even obtain).
with osm, you get all the resulting dataset for free to be used for any purpose.
wouldn't lifting weight be a risk to child bearing ability ? as we are still dependent on it, there is an evolutionary pressure to save/shield women from anything that prevents them from furthering the race.
well.. if there was a solid proof, there is no way the award could not be successfully claimed. if you say "I am pretty sure that the money will never be awarded", you are on the track of thinking that all claimants are either insane, or frauds:)
if something is real and provable, you can convince all skeptics - you might have to work on it and spent some time in repeatable experiments, but those people love facts, and they can change their views - if there are, in fact, facts.
i just upgraded to opensuse 12.3 on the laptop. comes with kde 4.10 - definitely an improvement in many areas (since 4.7). spotted a few minor bugs still, so not as robust as 3.5.10 was;)
there is a short story in russian about a father being surprised that his son wants to buy an extremely expensive electronic version of a russian classic book that they already have (but it's uncool to read paper books), where the author is dead for too long for copyright period (but at some point copyright got extended to "indefinite"), and they have to purchase it from an american company (which bought all the rights). and the book can be only read by a single person via biologically imprinted glasses.
i think it ended with the expression from the son - "where the fuck have you been for the last 20 years ?"
haven't seen it translated to english. if anybody knows of that, please, let me know:)
huh ? he was a cop i physically met in a bus stop in front of my house. with a couple of friends of his. also from the neighbourhood. the cop was from a "semi-special unit" - not really swat-like, but a bit higher than normal traffic cops - thus i'd perceive the attitude to be fairly common.
i heard a cop here (latvia) brag about beating somebody and smashing their face in the asphalt because they argued with them when they got out of a car. it was illustrated by showing how they "smacked the head with this fist towards the asphalt".
the cop freely admitted that there was no need for violence, not even handcuffing the person. but he got a chance, and he physically abused the victim.

Dates on the immigration forms have moved to ISO DD-MM-YYYY.
iso is yyyy-mm-dd ;)

i'm scared of you, your country and the spawns it will create.

the coverage on /. has been absurdly high.
"they will announce something soon !"
"they will announce printable gun !"
"they will announce printable gun today !"
"THEY ANNOUNCE PRINTABLE GUN !"
"they actually reveal printable gun !"
is slashdot involved or just getting abused ? just a bit... too much.
would be great if you could find an instance of such a disappearance of your changes - it should be easy to find out what and why happened
osm history viewer is quite nice, although fairly cumbersome to use at this time : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_History_Viewer
what about http://krita.org/ ?

there are various routing and similar applications. maybe you can find something you like at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software

same here. when looking for a laptop, "matte" screen is a mandatory thing (one of a few)
this event was about mismanaging a facility (most likely), so there is a technical angle. :)
also, openstreetmap volunteers are mapping that region already - give a hand

you skipped the fact that you can take beer on the train. or water, although i'm not sure why would anybody prefer water over beer.
