OT eye candy

Doesn't matter, I wrote my own (I think based on Chan). It uses circuit values (Lp, Ls, k, mu, phi), so I don't even have to dick around with geometry. ;-)

I have a pair of digital calipers that can read in (un)customary fractional inches to 1/128". Of course it does decimal inches and mm too, (but not meters).

I have a bunch of those. One goes to 52" wide. It's mounted to my table saw. I also have smaller version mounted to my router table and thickness planer. ;-)

Having mW/mm-K just makes some calcualtion easier. I write everything in mm's and I've got a feel for how big that is.

Hello,

m/s^2 is somewhat too large, but mm/s^2 would fit. 1000 mGal = 10 mm/s^2.

A very useful measure of angles is "circles", where 1 cy = 2*pi radians.

radians.

In some computer circles that is called BAMS, binary angular measurement system. Binary 0.10000000000000000 is 180 degrees or pi radians, and so forth. Integer parts can be used as well, representing full turns.

This is weird, in some way, as if some seem to think m and mm are different units. Also, I don't at all see why 1 cm/s^2 should merit a specific name.

The point is that the multiplier prefixes are universal, applicable to any unit, and one would pick whichever is appropriate to get numbers of convenient magnitudes.

I find it odd that some seem to have some sort of blockage using some combinations of multiplier prefixes and units. I often see the tedious string '0.001 uF' instead of the more rational 1 nF, or '384000 km' instead of 384 Mm, for example. I freely use kSFr to express the cost of something, but it seems to make accountants cringe. ;-)

Hello,

I agree, if Mega is used together with watts or volt, why not also with meter? We use mA and µA frequently, but mF is rarely used.

I've seen an exhibition of clocks which included some French ones with decimal time dials. IIRC this was mandated, but was circumvented by having conventional dials on the other face.

Here (UK), we have 'Units' of alcohol. One unit is 10ml or 1cl. Why did someone invent something completely superfluous?

Medics here use mg for milligrams and mcg for micrograms (or often MG and MCG). I wonder how many massive over- or underdoses that's caused. (They also say 'fluid' when they really mean 'liquid', maybe it sounds more important.)
