It is tougher to switch one you are used to the English system, but after a while you get used to it, you just have to get used to using it daily and it works.

But anyway why can't it just show all standards? Don't they know computers can calculate? And so can tiny simple chips. Wait NO, GET BACK HERE, dammit now my fellow commenters went to the cupboard to get chips.

Please learn the difference between the words lose and loose.]]>Jul 28th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/withings-connected-body-scale-remembers-what-youd-rather-forget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/withings-connected-body-scale-remembers-what-youd-rather-forget/The US does not switch because there is no value saved in switching in real terms.

IE, if I step on this scale and have gone from 170 lbs or 77.11 kilograms to 175 lbs or 79.37 kilograms, how is that easier?
There is no ease of use or savings there. They are both numbers (lbs vs kilograms), and easily understood relative to themselves. There is only preference, not utility.

In situations where it does matter (say simplified costs for only producing one set of tools) then the US has switched.

You said imperial sucks because it's difficult to do mathematics with it, and because the relationships between various forms of measurement are lost on you and others. Literal translation: "Imperial sucks because it's hard."

If you still want to maintain that I'm off-base here in reading what you wrote (or, more specifically, that you were off-base in what you wrote; if I'm wrong, it's because you didn't say what you meant...you wouldn't be female, by any chance, would you?), then please feel free to point out exactly what's false in my interpretation.

Or, you could just spew out more random, baseless one-liners that don't actually refute anything but make you think your e-penis is bigger than mine.

Either way, I'll continue to get along just fine in life, mathing it up and converting like a mad man in imperial because I'm smarter than you are =)]]>Aug 1st 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/withings-connected-body-scale-remembers-what-youd-rather-forget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/withings-connected-body-scale-remembers-what-youd-rather-forget/

WHAT I REALLY WANT (hear me, NicoWithings?) isn't this glassy marvel, but a 9 oz. bluetooth enabled slab of plastic that would be my travel scale. I travel 2-3 weeks at a time and my choices are to be ignorant of my weight or schlep around a bathroom scale that could double as a boat-anchor. ]]>Jul 29th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/withings-connected-body-scale-remembers-what-youd-rather-forget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/withings-connected-body-scale-remembers-what-youd-rather-forget/You can go to most vets though and find a scale in the waitingroom, so carry a hamster around as an excuse to visit those.
