Okay, so this is why you stay in school and learn the difference of units!

    cant view the link...

    but with regards to your post... if u mean units by cm... g... lb... etc etc... u should tell that to the NASA engineers. I remember one of the mars satillites failed because two groups of engineers were using different units to do calculation (metric/imperial) and forgot to convert the units... which led to a 30 million dollar mistake... now THAT is stupid :tongue:

    Yeah, I remember that... Americans needed some help from Europe for their project, and then when they were calculating it was difference of miles and meters :D

    This one, the people can't tell the difference between $.002 and .002c
    :D

    you really ought to listen to it :D

    Edit: I fixed the upper link... go listen to it :D

    ahahaahah...

    What a loser! I can't believe it! That poor guy is so awesome for explaining it to him... even though Verizon's so dumb. The guy really kept his cool and explained things well. Too bad the employees were so dumb that it made it almost unbearable to listen to...

    I want to send it to my math prof... he'd have a heart-attack...

    For your viewing pleasure, here's the guy's blog.

    Looks like he got it resolved and probably got a lot of other people pissed off and maybe some people at Verizon slapped around and sent back to elementary school... :wink:
