Then why don't you use a base-2 notation instead of a base-10 one? Also why don't you use 2^8 as kilo instead of 2^10? Or how about a logarithmic one? Your 2GB RAM upgrade would then become a 31 logarithmic byte upgrade and the upgrade to 4GB RAM would become a 32 logarithmic byte upgrade, makes computer upgrades nice and linear instead of exponential.

The 1024 mess never made sense in the first place, time to get rid of it.

The matter at issue is whether or not there's any substantial genetic component to measured differences between intelligence levels in racial groups or whether that is due primarily to cultural and environmental effects.

If only we could find people who are genetically foo, but raised in a bar environment we might be able to solve that question.

the "unlimited" plan contains 5GB per month at 3G speed. After that it's limited to GPRS. Same situation with the 1GB data plan.

The 1GB plan includes 5GB at 3G speed? Where can I sign up?

Not even just being out in the wilds. I've been to London and their transit system is infinitely better then what we have here in Dartmouth, Nova Scota. Then again, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any place with worse transit.

Sure I can walk or take a bike, but if you've ever been to Halifax or Dartmouth, you'd know the cities are made up of hills, hills on hills and more hills.

The advantage is I'm in great shape. I was at a bachelor party for a friend of mine about a year ago. He had friends from Alberta visiting and we spent most of the night waiting for them to catch up to us as we moved from bar to bar.

The other issue with traveling without transit is the weather. This last winter was pretty good we only had a couple of snow storms, but normally from about mid January to about mid April there's snow on the ground. Sometimes well over a meter, but normally at least a half a meter. Summer's not too bad and I welcome a nice walk on a warm sunny day, but when it's warm I'm outside until it's time for bed and rarely spend time watching movies.

Stopping charging them extra for our intellectual rights, in form of inflated medicine costs, etc.

By "extra" and "inflated" you mean the same as I'd have to pay?

I mean, it's like saying if governments cared about child porn, then they would kill all the children.

I always knew King Herod was a good guy, deep down.

Ahhh complacency through nervous joking....

OK tough guy, what's your excuse? Complacency by abdication is somehow better?

Actually it's more like complacency through double nationality.

Not that it's much comfort, everywhere that isn't worse already is trying to catch up.
