#142378 - Google Calculator
In a separate, very serious, 8051-related thread ...

about 20 miles away.

For metric readers, that's about 32km.

In the spirit of getting even further off topic, type "20 miles in km" (without the quotes) into the plain old Google search box and be amazed! Google tries to recognize arithmetic expressions as such, and when it finds one, it evaluates it! It does units conversion (as in the example above), base conversions (ever want to convert octal numbers to roman numerals?), trig and log functions, etc., etc., etc. Google gives quick instructions for using this feature here.
