I bet you're one of the bitches who blames Microsoft for HP putting out 400meg driver packages for Windows too.

You got me nailed. In fact, I even blame Microsoft for the iPhone 4S battery issue.

Quite. It's funny how all the extreme right wingers in the US loathe the idea of democracy so much they try to re-label their constitution according to their own definitions. Iit's almost like they're elitist, or undemocratic or something.

You don't seem to be aware that the U.S. Constitution was written by elitist, undemocratic men.

As already said, you are ignorant and wrong about the inch.

Furthermore, the kilogram happens to be the mass of a lump of metal in France. If the lump of metal would have been different, a kilogram would have been a different mass. In fact, the kilogram is a different mass than it used to be. Oops.

Nice distraction. Nice try.

Minutes, hours and days are not imperial units, but are based upon SI units.

Inches, feet and miles are also based upon SI units.

There's nothing wrong with doing science using American units of measurement, as long as you don't expect to have to interact with crazy ferriners. Sure it's harder to do calculations in your head, but why do we need to be doing calculations in our heads anyway? Isn't that what phones are for?
