Why is it you can buy thermometers for ouside your house that have deg C and deg F on them , but you can't buy ones with deg C and deg K on them?
Come on manufactuers, move with the times. Only old people use deg F on dry land these days.

And Americans. I'f you are buying from an international distributor (or indeed the item is made by an American company) that's likely the reason. Mark

Random blog on the worlds largest computer: https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2013 ... ver-built/More info: http://www.f-106deltadart.com/sage_system.htmPretty cool. Like 386s build largely from valves inside a network of 27 Borg cubes, in the 1950s. They directed military drones in real time to their targets. In the 1950s. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net
