@seeds: Happily, #Archos is hacker-friendly; they even provide pre-built #Ångström images. I'm looking forward to loading #GJay :)

Got my #Archos 5 tablet, this weekend. #Android is kinda nice, UI-wise; pity it's gratuitously incompatible w/ all existing !Linux software.

@drysdam, note the `naming convention' in the historic English fluid measures: every binary digit had its own name :)

@drysdam, how many sig. fig. do you suppose Wunderlich's measurement had? Seems suspicious that both his mean and max were perfect integers.

@drysdam, the only online quotation of #tAoCP, re: fluid measure, for quick reference is http://ur1.ca/1kh36

@drysdam, 98.6°F comes from converting to Celsius, rounding to an integer, and then converting back.

@drysdam, when I said "historic English", we were talking about historic English fluid measures, not new/revised apothecaries' dry measures.

@drysdam, &even with those numbers... the ratios `are' binary at least as well as the standard human body-temperature `is' 98.6° Fahrenheit.

@drysdam, how many liters are in a pound, anyway? ;)

@drysdam, I said "apothecaries'", not "anthropic"....

@drysdam, the historic English system is basically... binary. What's wrong with that?

@drysdam, I like the old apothecaries' system, personally....

It's #funny that the limit of 140 (unicode) chars in identi.ca posts is ultimately based on the 140-*byte* (`char'') SMS limitations....

@drysdam, obviously the root-problem is that liters are dm³ rather than cm³. But, fix that and it'd kill you that dl would be (cm/(∛10))³ :)

Should update the `look and feel' of my website, now that we're out of the 1990s?

@osamak, as I understand it, Catholicism and some other religions either restrict divorce or deny it entirely. And that's just religion....
