He's clearly not a 'merican, hence he uses a more logical date-format
(hell, probably the metric system too unless he's UK bases, the horror of
easy calculations, dreadfull!).
Didn't you use to complain about people quoting url's from spammers BTW?

I know, Rik - it was more tongue-in-cheek. Just pointing out that the
date is ambiguous (although I do agree with you d-m-y is more logical).
And you're right - I should have clipped the URL. My only excuse is I
haven't had my first (or third) cup of joe yet this morning :-)

The UK does actually use metric for most things these days. Except beer,
which is sold in pints and road signs which are in miles and yards: speeds
being in miles per hour[1]. Milk bottles are usually labelled in litres,
but bottles tend to be multiples of 568 mL.
If you want an example of a non-US country that has not yet officially
adopted the metric system, you could choose Liberia or Myanmar.

almost exactly 4 millilightyears per fortnight (it's about 4.0009353).

Toby,
With a claim like that, I had to check it. I think your figures are a
bit off.
1 light year is about 5.87849981×10^12 miles. In one fortnight that
would be about 225,322,374,647 miles. 1/1000 of that would be
225,322,374 miles. I think you'd have to be going a lot faster than 70
mph to get that many miles in a fortnight. :-)

But Toby got it slightly wrong too. 1 light year per fortnight is
5.87849981×10^12 miles / (14 * 24 hours), about 17495535149 miles/hour,
so 70 miles/hour are about 4 nano light years per fortnight.

Either of 2 ways - 5.87849981×10^12 / 365 * 14 or 186 282.397 * 60 8 60
* 24 * 14. Both give similar answers.
But you're wrong - you need to divide 5.87849981×10^12 by 365 to get the
number of miles in a light day, then multiply by 14 days.
I have no idea where you got 5.87849981×10^12 / (14 * 24). But one
light hour is 670,616,629 miles or so.

That doesn't work. The unit should have been acres^-1 (or metres^-2).
Length/Volume = Length/Length*Length*Length = 1/Length*Length = 1/Area.

Nono. Volume/length is totally valid to check for efficiency.
With 1 liter I can ride 16 kilometers, so I can ride 1 kilometer with 1/16
liter fuel... 'liter per kilometer'/'gallon to the mile' rather then the
reverse.
Thats 0.001 m^3 / 16.000 m = 0.0000000625 m^2 = 15.4 picoacres

I suppose so, but then the measurement goes up as efficiency decreases, so
I'd probably call it a measure of fuel *inefficiency*.
I suppose then that while one measures height in metres one could measure
"shortness" in terms of metres^-1 (i.e. how many of them fit in one
metre). :-)

Well, you've got a point there. If 'energy-footprint' wasn't allready
taken by those CO2 enthousiasts it would be ideal as a name.

Hehe, I like that :). I'm 0.52 metres^-1 short!

OK, but he wasn't looking at one lightyear per fortnight (which violates

the distance light travels in a fortnight.

Huh? Diving a length by a time span violates laws of physics, just

If I am the "he" that we're referring to, I can assure you I was talking

You're right. I was mixing up lightyears per fortnight as a unit, and

Rik,
BTU's (British Thermal Units) are a measure of the heating or cooling
power of furnaces or air conditioners, especially the latter. It's less
common in places other than the U.S. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit.

>>Yes, dammit I did. I originally had 4 microlightyears per kilofortnight
and then multiplied one side down by 1000 and the other up by 1000.
D'oh!
For some weird bizarre reason, the term 'kilofortnight' is enough te
keep
me grinning for an hour... Almost as good as when I calculated the fuel
efficiency of a car in acres (it was 15.4 picoacres BTW).
Oh, my - BTW?
That sounds like *twice* the energy of a BTU.
Hehe, never heard of BTU's, here either calories, kWh's or even joules are
more common.
Actually, to me, especially as a self-employed worker (well, I own a
company with tree other equals..), it sounds like +20%, as BTW in dutch
normally would mean 'Belasting Toegevoegde Waarde' = VAT.

Today, yes, as of 01-01-2008 it will offcourse be 20%, and as most
projects I'm currently working on will probably finish some time after
that date...
BTW Richard, please use a proper newsreader which can add quote characters
(and doesn't quote signatures).

Rik,
sorry, no, I wont change newsreaders.
I tried many and they all have a different way of messing up text that
should not have been there in the first place......
And BTW, it is such a nice snob-bait... :P

You must have changed your content-encoding or something - because it's
working fine, now.

Well, this quote came in correctly, so no matter how it was achieved
(changed settings, done by hand, quotefix, other..), as long as the quotes
are well formatted, you won't hear me complain.
