Dust Puppy	Posted - 2004.10.13 10:27:00 - [241] Originally by: TheMiner Your head asplode. Hey r you female irl? If so.. I will give you ISK and stuff..under a few conditions. Anyone else a little bit creeped out What are those conditions? __________ Capacitor research

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 10:32:00 - [243] Indeed... just what would they be? There is only one way to find out. ------------------------ Your head asplode.

Sel here was made to try out a different race for a few days, then I realized she was actually a very good character and there was no way I was going to lose three whole days of training time starting over back then! Hopefully I haven't ruined too many fantasies with this admission... lol your secrets out now Seleene :D - - - - - - - - -

The same way they cater for the carebears and their needs, they cater for TheMiner and his inferior brain. Maybe it is because of the British, Australian, American, Spanish, French, Italian, and other European countries besides the Swede/Scandinavian countries use the decimal point not the decimal comma. Ever think of that? % of users using the more popular and wide spread system of ######.### to denote a fractional number? Hmmm? DonÆt start that crap about being weak just because of the system being used now. We just need a system where hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions are easily distinguished and recognized. --------------------------------------------------

Avon	Posted - 2004.10.13 10:58:00 - [255] Edited by: Avon on 13/10/2004 11:05:26 TheMiner keeps on going on about the 'English' system, I am assuming he means Imperial? (most of which is derived from Roman measurements, many of those comming from even older systems) The best system to use it the one you understand, and more importantly one that your target audience can understand. I measure most things using the metric system, although I think of peoples height in feet and inches. I am happy picturing the distance between places in either miles or KMs, but I measure my speed in MPH. I have only just stopped converting fuel prices in my head from litres to gallons, but that was mostly due to it being too depressing to contemplate. Internationally pilots tend to measure altitude in feet, and airspeed in knots - both imperial measurements. When I was studying nuclear physics and quantum electrodynamics it never occured to me to measure things in nano feet, it just wouldn't make sense. And finally, if metric is so great and so much superior to Imperial, what time is it? ______________________________________________ Never argue with idiots. They will just drag it down to their level, and then beat you through experience.

And finally, if metric is so great and so much superiour to Imperial, what time is it? Of course it nano feet wouldn't make sense. If I understand it correctly then 12 inches make up one feet where as nano is a prefix used in the decimal system. Oh and the time is 13.02 GMT. Compared to this am pm system then I must admit our system is vastly superior Edit: errm 11.02 I forgot I'm on Swedish time __________ Capacitor research

Valentine Keen	Posted - 2004.10.13 11:06:00 - [267] Edited by: Valentine Keen on 13/10/2004 11:09:05 Got to agree totally with Avon here - it's a matter of what you've learned to use. If you've learned it all your life one way, it's always easier, at least to you, but not necessarily better or worse, just different. As for the original post - great to see the numbers continuing to increase - no matter how you measure them. Edited for spelling.

Wren	Posted - 2004.10.13 11:12:00 - [269] Time isn't. But metric is based on base 10. Time is based on groupings of 60's. with really not 24 hours per day, but minus 3 minutes 56 seconds, that's why we have leap years --------------------------------------------------
