..till the Moller Sky Car goes into production.
or
gets off the ground...
The DeLorean got higher, due to its unique fuel, (and I'm not talking plutonium ripped off from Libyan nationalists...)
It does make the driver very loud, confident and downright obnoxious, though...
.. and sniffly.
She should have joined the Silver Ring Tone Thing movement...

It's important to wait for the right smartphone to come along.
Now she'll be comparing her current phone, to all her previous phones, and other phones she could have. She'll never be happy with her current phone now...
oh, hang on...
"Imperial measures are good because they are very 'human', an inch about the legth of your thumb"
And having 12 thumbs makes base 12 arithmetic easy...
inches, feet, yards and miles are all distances, different scales to make the numbers manageable.
mm, cm, m, km, ditto, and the maths is decimal, like I learned since I was...
...knee-high ;-)
What on earth was all that about?
Where does one start?
Australia has a few railway gauges, so geographical separation explains nothing here.
Mostly Standard gauge -1.435m, followed by narrow gauge 1.066m, and broad (Irish) gauge 1.6m a distant third.
"Standard" Assembler - WTF?. See earlier poster
And the French Canadians are far, far more militant against english words than the french. "Chien Chaud" anyone?
Morse code was originally invented for the english language, so it's hardly surprising that it would be adapted for a different language and then international usage, given the different letter frequencies.
On the one hand:
Ubuntu has its LTS (long term support release) to encourage and support enterprise adoption.
Has Mozilla missed an opportunity?
On the other:
My impression is that Firefox 5 is not nearly as big a jump from 4, as 4 was from 3.6.
Is the other side of EOL'ing 4, that Mozilla promises not to break 4-compatible add-ons?
Did Mr Enterprise make such a big deal of moving from 3.5 to 3.6? Is he just hung up on version numbers?
And what about businesses who put everything on the cloud and lose complete control of the IT upgrade cycle anyway?
I'm caring much less about this already. Not sure where the FAIL is now, except maybe in Mozilla's PR.
"we don't care about you" is not a good look.
Stayed in a Travelodge in Newcastle last year.
Had to make the extra bed ourselves (apparently customers like to make it their own way)
No soap or hair/shower product provided to reduce costs.
Worst bed I've ever slept in.
After the first night, cancelled the next 2 nights, and booked in with Theophilus P. Wildebeest AKA the Purple Throbbing Monster. Not a lot dearer, but definitely a notch above.
