2 cups, 1 girl?

Cups of tea, of course. And it's only a good deal if you don't consider what one GBP equals in USD.

Accuracy isn't the issue. Conversion to other units is. I also don't see how this negates Joph's response. His point was that a range from 0-100 representing temperatures as humans perceive them is pretty darn useful. And it's a valid point. When measuring temperature, I'm usually far more interested in whether the temperature is "hot" or "cold" to *me* rather than what percentage of the temperature needed to boil water I'm at.

And on a side note, when I convert my car to use metric and then back to english, it screws up my temperature controls by a degree or so. And I'd bury the needle on my speedometer too easily when in that mode as well. Let's face it, 180 kph just isn't that fast.

You don't need decimals in metric unless you're getting to a unit of measurement you can't see with your naked eye.

I don't know why I even bothered, this is a retarded discussion.

I've always wondered, how hard do you have to hit somethign to be considered to be pounding it? where's the cutoff force? is it linear, or does it depend on the material and the level of deformation induced???
