In the save vein of discussion, have you looked at the new Java measures package, JSR-275. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=275 I think this will be a big win for maintainable programs that deal with units and unit conversion.

For an article that large, I feel luck thats all I mistyped. My spell checker actually rejected millennia, which I *think* is the right word. Measuments and simplist are just typos trackback is a technical term related to blogs. Its standard for wordpress, as well as other blogs :-) Anyway, I've corrected the mistakes you pointed out. Thanks, Daniel. Thanks for pointing those out. For an article that large, I feel luck thats all I mistyped. My spell checker actually rejected millennia, which I *think* is the right word.

trackback is a technical term related to blogs. Its standard for wordpress, as well as other blogs :-)

Anyway, I’ve corrected the mistakes you pointed out.
Thanks,
Daniel.
