Etigo wyr	Posted - 2004.10.13 14:17:00 - [393] Question is simple and not as hard as many want it to be! A system can be inferior but used,that doesnt mean that system in anyway is better. Just as ya learn in early age one system and are used to it doesnt mean it is easy, more understandable then a new system. There is a sayin in Sweden:You dont teach old dogs to sit! Why? Cause he is used to stand or lay down. Same is it with new systems VS old systems! people used to a certain system will use it no matter what cause they allways used it! Metric system is superior cause it is more understandable,easier to read and more up to date with the world today! There are nothing wrong with the old system but its not up to date! in some future we might even leave Metric for another system and this debate will arise again!

Scorpyn	Posted - 2004.10.13 14:26:00 - [395] Originally by: Arkanis We drive on the left because the majority of sword wielders where right handed :) Its all down to the swords. Probably dragons too. We used to drive on the left side of the road in Sweden too, but then we realized that it was bad and changed it. Mostly because most of us don't use swords any more, especially not while driving.

Fojar	Posted - 2004.10.13 14:31:00 - [399] Edited by: Fojar on 13/10/2004 14:37:00 How long does this go on? Can sum give me a summary coz i can't be arsed to read 11 pages of a post! As far i got was that theminer, didn't understand that europe(not including the UK) use a comma instead of a decimal point? And this went on for 11 pages? You Guys either have too much spare time, or are just really really annoying. Oh and please stop using the word inferior, it makes you sound like a Superemisist or somthing, why not use the word worse etc? Fojar PS I agree with Hakera on Lefties ARE WEIRD!! edit: extra point

Admiral IceBlock	Posted - 2004.10.13 14:34:00 - [401] Edited by: Admiral IceBlock on 13/10/2004 14:37:12 our decimal symbol is "," and digit grouping symbol is " ". 11 235,99 :D also, the left hand is known to die by right hand. "We brake for nobody"

mahhy	Posted - 2004.10.13 14:42:00 - [403] Originally by: Hakera left handed people are unnatural! burn them at the stake! Hey! I find that offensive! Right handed people are obviously inferior.

Mostly because most of us don't use swords any more, especially not while driving. Yes but we're completely over ran by DRAGONS. Its been proven guns don't kill them and only swords do. We're required by law to carry a sword at all times incase of attack by DRAGON, or Millwall fans.

CmdoColin	Posted - 2004.10.13 14:51:00 - [407] Originally by: Etigo wyr Metric system is superior cause it is more understandable,easier to read and more up to date with the world today! I'd argue that point - but there are 10 pages of that already. It is only what the mind is acustomed too. In England we changed from an Imperial monetary value to a metric system on 15th February 1971. Yes I find that metric system easier. But the generation that grew up with it cannot get our new fangled decimal system. I find their system confusing: 4 farthings to a pence 240 pence to ú1 12 pence to a shilling (also known as bob) 5 shillings to a crown 20 shillings in a pound 21 shillings in a guinea It's what you are used too. Unless you can scientifically prove that one of the systems is better on they human mind another. Whatever system is used, it only exists by being built up on interactions of neurons in your brain. The more you use one system, the easier it becomes. Originally by: Scorpyn Mostly because most of us don't use swords any more, especially not while driving. rotflmao - that is magic...

Aaron Rex	Posted - 2004.10.13 15:04:00 - [411] Back on one of the first pages of this thread I was going to post a constructive thought or opinion. However, after having read 12 pages of this I have a head ache and need to go lie down I think. All my simple, burned out brain can say now is Josh iz t3h b00m and Eris I LOVE YOU!!!

EvilEric	Posted - 2004.10.13 15:08:00 - [413] So...... I read this thread and here's what I heard... Decimal points, commas... dumbass. No... you're a dumbass. I like Pie. Metric is good, time is not metric. What about the Pie? Good and Bad are subjective. We English have a lot to answer for. I'd just like to add... The bigger the pie, the happier the clown.

Ebedar	Posted - 2004.10.13 15:17:00 - [415] Originally by: Hakera left handed people are unnatural! burn them at the stake! Yes, definitely something sinister about them. Sits back and wonders who will get it without Googling My life in pictures:

Andrue	Posted - 2004.10.13 15:30:00 - [417] Originally by: Ebedar Originally by: Hakera left handed people are unnatural! burn them at the stake! Yes, definitely something sinister about them. Sits back and wonders who will get it without Googling But at the risk of restarting the thread I'll just say that as a programmer I never display numbers to my users without thousands separators (I do let the OS choose what character to use for them though). Most people do find it harder to spot the difference between: 12,345,678 and 12346788 I also allow my users to enter numbers using letter abbreviations eg; 12.2M (or even 12M2) For me it's about usability. Some people my be able to read eight or nine digit numbers at a glance but most people can't. There's also no point in forcing users to type loads of '0's when a single letter will suffice :) -- (Battle hardened miner) [Brackley, UK] WARNING:This post may contain large doses of reality.

Sits back and wonders who will get it without Googling Um, iirc sinister derives from the latin word for left, which is sinistra or something like it. ______________________________________________ Never argue with idiots. They will just drag it down to their level, and then beat you through experience.
