Is that the same as 32 ft/sec/sec as I was taught? Back in the dark ages. It does help to have enough space to have the acceleration flatten out to terminal velocity, then Windows is properly configured.
Yes. 1 metre is approx 3 1/3 feet. It's amazing people are still using those ancient measurements in the modern world. You can blame Reagan for that one.
Thats meter in modern English. As to metric system its wholly inadequate for construction where there is a fudge factor appropriate to an imprecise world where the earth itself is imperfect as is the settling of individual structures. Try baking a cake by metrics you will go nuts when it comes time to use eggs which are of various sizes. Best to use the older system and good chefs judgement. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
