YMMV, but I can imagine what a meter is (two thirds of my desks width) and what a second is (count slowly to three), so a "m/s" is more natural to me than km/h. It is hard for me to "feel" a kilometer (666 times my desks width?) or an hour (count slowly to 10800?). But this is surely different between people. > > Thus km/h should at least kept as option for non-experts. I wont mind, of course, nor would I mind Beaufort or knots :~) Btw. "hour" is not an SI unit, and in science "m/s" and "km/s" are typically used, "km/h" nor anything based on hours, are not. It's OK to support any kind of units some people are used to or like, but the scientific variant should be the default. _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
