i'm not so sure about it. for example, the following could sell :

A hitch device for converting a conventional wheelbarrow into a towable trailer.

ok, this is so sad, but it sounded truthful :)

this is arbitrary. habitable != comfortable, and who has a daily task of figuring out "habitable" ? in celsius, habitable does go way below the cited -18 anyway, i present nordic countries.

and a surprisingly simple solution - you can say 21.5 degrees in celsius ! or you can add even more. for daily purposes, that is never needed, though

and for an average man, a slow step is 1 metre. roughly. probably the same precision as trying to match different feet sizes...

which might be why nobody does that. everybody measures height in cm. which is also providing more than enough precision, for most needs

normal people use math daily. and it's so much easier with base 10. don't delude yourself, imperial is used in the usa just "because we don't care" - not enough external trade or other reasons to change + the normal resistance to change.
understandable in short term, but shortsighted in the long term.

just like most inhabitants of the usa don't know/understand they're just 1/4 of the population of china... wait, what was your argument supposed to say ? :)

a bit :)

wouldn't those place properties be usually grouped by a relation like this one ?
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/...

this site also used to have technical stories. like this one. so its actually a welcome change from "what would benet..." series.

seriously, this is different from openstreetmap... how ?
ok, so it's more limited (addresses only) and uk only.
adding the missing info in osm is a much better idea.

do you work for marriott ? :)
most decent hotels have wifi network listed on an obvious sign in the lobby. even if not, you could ASK at the reception "which wifi network should i use?"

(for the record, marriott is not the worst when it comes to wifi - hilton sucks ass and can go and burn in some tar pit or something)

underground parking ?

densities of 5TB, 6TB, and 8TB

is that really proper use of "density" ?

i haven't met a woman like that personally. i haven't had terribly bad experience with women, either.
but there's this crusade which is getting more and more crazy. while it is lead by a crazy minority, there seems to be no opposition to that assholish behaviour.
well, here's some :)

ah, indeed - and some look like drop-in replacements for atms (quality matters, though) : http://www.sunsoninput.com/pid...

good point about the fingerprints... but at least there are ways to avoid that.

and i guess the idea is that people are less likely to forget their phone these days.

overall, seems like a silly idea with so many drawbacks that are being ignored...

it seems like it's actually bullying by crazy females (not really women, they have stopped being such).

they can't bully rockstars or sportists (see what is their attitude to women...), so they just choose a soft target that will not fight back - it people, scientists.
and then somebody whines why in some circles geeks see women with suspicion - after rejection and ridicule in school, after bullying later...

and the normal women don't speak up.

have a pin pad. officer hands the pad to you in/on your vehicle, you enter the pin (make sure to hit all buttons in a random order afterwards).
