  "The civilian Standard Positioning Service (SPS) that finally became fully operational in 1995 provided an accuracy of 100 meters.   The military's Precise Positioning Service (PPS) was accurate to 22 meters.   The disparity was artificially created by introducing random errors in the public signal.   Although civilian service has been as accurate as the military one since 2000, random errors (called selective availability) can still be introduced in combat zones so that only friendly forces get full accuracy.   New techniques can now [before 2012] provide accuracy down to 4 inches." --- Randy Alfred 2012 _Mad Science: Einstein's Fridge, Dewar's Flask, Mach's Speed, and 362 Other Inventions and Discoveries That Made our World_ pg344

  "'More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief issue of birth control.', [Margaret Sanger] frankly wrote in her 1922 book _The Pivot of Civilization_. (The book featured an introduction by Wells, in which he proclaimed, 'We want fewer and better children...and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us.' Two civilizations were at war: that of 'progress' and that which sought a world 'swamped by an indiscriminate torrent of progeny'.) A fair-minded peson cannot read Sanger's books, articles, and pamphlets today without finding similarities not only to Nazi eugenics bu to the dark dystopias of the feminist imagination... Sanger regularly published he sort of hard racism we normally associate with Goebbels or Himmler... In 1926 Sanger proudly gave a speech to a KKK rally in Silver Lake, NJ. One of the Sanger's closest friends and influential colleagues was the white supremacist Lothrop Stoddard, author of _The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy_. In the book he offered his solution for the threat posed by the darker races; 'Just as we isolate bacterial invasions, and starve out the bacteria, by limiting the area and amount of their food supply, so we can compel an inferior race to remain in its native habitat.' When the book came out, Sanger was sufficiently impressed to invite him to join the board of directors of the American Birth Control League." --- Jonah Goldberg _Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning_ pg272 (citing Charles Valenza 1985 January-February "Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?" _Family Planning Perspectives_ vol17 #1 pg45; David M. Kennedy 1970 _Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger_ pg115; H.G.

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

  "As government agencies attempt to prevent citizens from auditing them, the government is only too happy, as we have learned in recent years, to exercise power over [to initiate force and fraud against] its citizens through a variety of surveillance programs.   Democratic government has, in this way, been turned on its head." --- Jennifer Bachner, Benjamin Ginsberg, Steven L.
