A pint is 568 ml and a pound is 453 grams.Water's different round your place??
I take exception to your first point about gun control. While Guns are indeed necessary and essential where a majority of Populace depends on hunting for their survival I see no reason for a Civilized society to require guns.
I believe there exists considerable confusion about the concept of freedom.What is freedom?? Is it being free to do anything you wish??Cut that tree down??Forcibly Mate with that Woman because hey she looked good??Bear Arms??
Or is freedom something that enables you to be free of Fear?Of walking down that street?Of someone breaking into your home ??Of being able to walk down the street / park / Shop / School??
If your definition of Freedom is the second one;then we require a society with rules.The rule can be a small family rule that i come home before 11 PM and we keep each other informed when leaving house??It can be community based such as not leaving garbage strewn around. It can be more significant such as laws outlawing violence against another person. Whenever a number of organisms come together they need to follow a set of rules.sometimes they are simple and are understood easily.Sometimes they are complex and need to be codified.
If your definition of freedom is the first one then all i have to say is that Somalia is the free'est place on earth today.The question is: for an Average Somali with a Family,Children and most importantly
I haven't much experience with Apple's products.My wife has a very old 512 MB Ipod Shuffle which she doesn't use.I wanted to use and downloaded iTunes and thought it would be easy to just drag and copy my mp3's to the ipod but I couldn't make it work!!!! I don't know about others but i am not really impressed with used friendliness of apple's software.
I bought some for £2 each
Where did you get them that cheap?? AFAIK Lidl has some at 4 quid but thats about it.
The theory is that US citizens should be able to figure out for themselves

Souter's leaving, Ginsburg is likely to leave in the next two or three years (to ensure that Obama gets to choose her replacement), Stevens is likely to do the same... and all of them are considered likely at this point to be replaced by more distinctly progressive justices, since for the first time in decades there's a Democratic President with a Democratic Senate that can actually confirm his choices easily. None of the hard-right justices (Scalia, Alito, Thomas, or Roberts) is going to be stepping down voluntarily any time soon, but Kennedy might be getting some inclinations that way based on not being fond of being the constant swing vote, subject to pressures from all of his colleagues all the time.
You guys need to fix your justice system soon.In the UK,Judges are impartial i.e. without any political affiliations who are supposed to deliver judgements based solely on the Law and not their political / social leanings.
They also retire at a certain age and that ensures that there is a constant inflow of new blood and more importantly, prevents any of them from suffering delusions of grandeur.With the new Supreme court of the UK coming up the judges will lose their last connection with the Parliament and will be truly independent of political affinity ( as far as humanly possible).
You have enough politics in two of your government branches,you should work towards making the third Politics free.
Lots of US discussion about big points of Law is about the Personalities in the Supreme Court rather than points of law.While its a given that no human can be entirely free of prejudices

Cable isn't available in any of the slightly rural places (Even inside the M25!)
Very True,i live in harrow and cant get virgin cable even though its available just 2 streets away.Virgin's customer services never replies to any communication about extending services
interests me is the fact that DDR costs at least twice as much as DDR2?Now why is that?
India has lax (nonexistent?) safety and emissions standards
Dunno about safety but the emission standards are certainly higher than the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_standard#Republic_of_India
Do you know anything about recent afghani history? In the 70's a communist government at Kabul decided that all girls would need to attend school.The Tribal leaders were against this and rose against the then gov.The Soviets thought that kabul's response was weak and invaded Afghanistan.The US financed the Wahhabi "freedom fighters" (mostly arabs) who the moment soviets were defeated turned on the local populace.
So dont blame the Afghans for the new york attacks,blame George bush Sr and Reagan for financing,training and supplying Binladen and co with means to attack the US.
In fact the Afghans should have a gripe with the US and not the other way round!
My thoughts exactly..this has the potential to be a NMP as well.Add a USB encoder/Decoder and run MythTV.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
