 If i understood you correctly and you are offering them to me, then of course.

That seems to be for Linux, and i'm on Windows.

There are windows binaries available for wget and curl (they're also included in cygwin), but if you're unfamiliar with using command line programs on windows you might very well find that you prefer rolling the dice on the malware over setting it all up.

I'll have a look then, most likely what will happen if I find something that works, either I'll find you an archive where you can DL the whole cd, or I'll send you a shady link with only the relevant installer (which is much more efficient but not great practice ^^)

Sorry for doublepost but this way you notice it quicker:

If I were you I'd get microsoft download manager, no freeware/adware/trialware, it's not 20 years old (only 12 ^^), looks really straightfoward. Can't seem to find it from MS themselves any longer (they'd peddle it to you through windows store anyway) but on softonic and the likes it can still be found.

Thanks, that's what i needed. By the way, wikipedia page for it has proper link to webarchived download page on Microsoft site.

Life After People

Oh hey, I remember that show. It was morbid, sure, but weirdly serene in its way. Sort of a "this too shall pass" mentality, y'know?
I remember the cats in the skyscrapers best.

All this talk about that show makes me need to dig it back out and rewatch the first series and finally watch the second series that I downloaded but never watched.

[McTraveller]

I just realized that instead of saying "meters per second" we could say "meter-Hertz" and make it sound like a unit instead of a complex thing, and it avoids the pesky slash/^-1 notation issues.

I guess you do have to watch out for confusion and make sure you use m-Hz and not mHz, to make sure it's not confused with milli-Hertz.

I'd still like a nice "unit" name for acceleration though; I mean we kind of have 'g' but that gets confused with grams.

[Eric Blank]

If you write "g's" it helps distinguish it, but g's are an uneven unit of m/s^2, maybe just use m2 for acceleration.

[hector13]

The unit is an air conditioner, but it is abbreviated as a/c. Why?

[Frumple]

To avoid confusion with alternating current, apparently. AC as an abbreviation for that is supposedly super common in engineering, so it'd make sense the people building the things wanted a different abbreviation so things were less confusing. That's what several different results from google said, anyway.

[dragdeler]

It's kind of an abherration that it isn't A-C but alternating current is definitly > than airconditioning (air-conditioning)

[delphonso]

You guys don't just call it an "air-con"?
