Fahrenheit? 0 = friggin' cold, 100 = friggin' hot.
How is that any easier than: 0 = water freezes, 100 = water boils?
How long is a foot? Approximately the size of your foot.
How long is a meter? Approximately the size of two steps. Big whoop.
Yes, for a change that's spending money in something worth it.
No, zero Celsius is "too damn cold", zero Fahrenheit is HOLY SHIT HOW CAN A HUMAN BEING LIVE HERE.
Did you expect that the White House administration was going to somehow force businesses and residents of the US to start using metric?
Why not? With three exceptions, EVERY country in the world did it at some point.
1) If the funding for research that led to the "patent" was in any part public, then the Patent needs to be public domain at least for non-profit research. Period.
2) If the funding for the research was not public, then the Government should pay for the patent, and make it public domain for non-profit continuing research.
Ether case, The patent should be still commercially viable for commercial purposes.
Interestingly enough, my subjective and anecdotal evidence suggests that stupid people "see" things that aren't there, don't see thing that are there, and generally are governed by that which is immediate in front of them, but are easily distracted by things in the periphery. . Conversely, smarter people are able to see more because they do filter out meaningless things, and the "Squirrel" effect is very brief if at all.
Again, all of that is completely subjective and anecdotal.
Have you not paid any attention?
During the "man hunt" (one teenaged man) in Boston, they shut the entire city down and put it in full martial law, searching houses without warrants in violation of the 4th Amendment. What Liberties indeed. "we suspend the constitution during this crisis, and appoint Palpatine as supreme leader"
So, your defense of the current administration boils down to "Bush was worse". That is a terrible defense of the indefensible. You cannot defend bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior.
My question is, if your kid was caught kicking the shit out of some other kid, would you accept "but he did it too, but worse" as an excuse?
They are banning the internet, because it has dangerous ideas on it. They are just starting small (Porn First, then Guns). In addition, these people that support this kind of stuff are promoting Censorship. As good liberals, this should send shivers up their spines.
It is like this: Clubs and hammers kill more people in the USA than Rifles do. However, Rifles are big, loud, scary things while hammer and clubs are not. Therefore we go after Rifles rather than the criminals.
What the government has done is said "The internet is illegal, because you can learn how to do things we do not approve of". This is tyranny.
I'm not sure what the color of skin has to do with anything. Could you elaborate?
Personally, I think smoking crack is fairly stupid thing to do, and anyone smoking crack should be tossed out of office with as little dignity as possible. Regardless of whether or not it is legal. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all to see him treated exactly the same ways a Barry was. As for criminal charges, I stated my opinion on this already.
But if they had, Obama would have taken all the credit for it, right? Because the (R) can never do good, and a (D) can never do bad in your world

Personally, both presidents are(were) awful. Both have eroded Liberties in such a way that short of tossing out both (D) and (R) congress critters and replacing them with (L) and (G) people, they (Liberties) won't come back any time soon. It seems like the American People love their nanny state, and being protected by the evil boogie men.
Mayor's smoke crack. Barry and now this clown. Yawn. Make drugs legal already.
