Duh, thats easy. 1760 Yards. That's 1776 (to commemorate our independence) - 16 (the number we divide up inches by, as you noted).
It's simple, really.
On a side note, I have a feeling that most people in the US could tell you how many meters are in a kilometer. Of course, I couldn't point down the road and tell you how far away a kilometer is, but I could probably get pretty close to a 1/4 mile.
Perhaps because what seems simple to you is horribly inefficient or impractical for someone else? People have different needs, that's why open source software is typically very configurable. Thankfully there are other environments people can use instead, though.
Who modded this up?
Ah, I must have missed the news of where, after being hit by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, and a 20-ft wave, the 40 year old plant completely wiped out everything within a 50 mile radius. Link please?
When you consider the magnitude of the catastrophe, it *is* impressive that the site is as under control as it is. Despite all of the media hype about the imminent doom, things seem to be holding up remarkably well. Not great, but certainly not the end of the world, and frankly the least of Japan's problems right now. And hey, so far it seems like the long-term damage from the reactors will probably be way less significant than the Deepwater explosion in the gulf. Nuclear power *is* safer than the media portrays it. And certainly modern nuclear plants are safer than these older ones.
As an aside, applying a single trait to an entire group like
That is unless someone cal tell me how a move to an [open source alternative] would be better. Even these OSS alternatives have to be supported. The last time I checked, their support was anemic! Just ask the University of California.
Are you retarded, or just trolling/FUDing?
The article you linked to doesn't mention any OSS alternatives, nor any support costs/availability of anything. (Also, Mashable is the best you could come up with for a source?)
What the article you linked to (titled, "Major University Dumps Gmail Over Security Concerns") actually discusses is that the University of California in Davis just stopped their pilot roll-out of Gmail due to concerns that it wasn't secure enough. In actuality, its not clear if Davis would even be allowed to use Gmail at all, as the article notes, "[school officials said] outsourcing e-mail may not be in compliance with the University of California Electronic Communications Policy."
Later in the article it mentions that other organizations (such as the City of Los Angeles) are adopting Gmail. The whole thing is hardly damning of Gmail, and doesn't even mention OSS.
Mods: Don't just assume that someone's citation backs up what they're saying. Parent is off-topic and not particularly insightful.
For me, I can say that when my previous employer switched over to Gmail for our email it was a huge boost to uptime, and a dramatic drop in cost compared to the (unfortunately) poorly supported in-house Linux-based OSS email server and the Exchange server we were quoted.

(And FFS, mods, the parent is not insightful, interesting, or even remotely relevant. It's simply bitching by a lazy person who can't be arsed to do a simple web search.)
Actually, you you might be the uninformed arse here. Last time I tried (and *I* actually tried, not just googled it and then ran my mouth on
Yes some people have had success, but Google put almost no effort or man power into it, and it was in many ways a better tool than wave.
Umm...
Quiet Quail?
Or is there some reference I'm not catching...
Not directly affiliated with her (my girlfriend did work for her last year around this time, though), but the gal at Leaf Cutter Designs makes some pretty neat/cute/cool gifts. It's not too late to write your S.O. (note, that acronym is not for the also excellent Stack Overflow) a short message delivered by the world's smallest post office. She does other neat stuff, too. If you're SO is of the creative/craftsy persuasion she'll probably appreciate something there.

My best 'stunt' was a singing telegram to my girlfriend's (same one) dorm a few years back. Definitely a hit. This year is dinner at a surprise location which we always walk by and she says "aww, we should eat there sometime, its cute". You don't have to go too crazy, just let her (or him, ladies!) know she's special and that you've been paying attention.
This is why I keep my password file encrypted. Any I don't use that standard '.txt' extension either. Mine is 'passwords.rot13'... no one would ever guess that!
Sounds wonderful... if only it would work on Verizon's network
I suggested more porn...
You must not be new here.
Let's be honest here. What you really meant was:
Do not interfere with my dream of watching mile-high club webcasting!!
Right, because:
Obviously validates to True.
Then I can take the loan money and buy kilos of cocaine^Hdollar bills with the money...
What's the street value of a kilo of "cocaindollar"?
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I can provide detailed equations like E=mc^2 and c=pi*r^2 if you need them.
Ok, I know that m is 1000 and I think pi is supposed to be 3.2
So plugging that in gives me E=1000((3.2r^2)^2)
But what is r then, mister smarty pants??
Ahhh, my apologies. Yeah, I know about the Loongson. What I was wondering is where you can buy these Atom-comparable Loongson laptops. Glancing at the bottom of the Wiki page you linked to, only two companies have claimed to sell these (outside of China). One turned out to be a scam, and the other is the one I'd heard of which doesn't appear to actually be selling anything yet (and when it does is estimated at almost 400 Euros). So where are you seeing them?
Make headway at work. Continue to let things deteriorate at home.
