  1. OT: Your sig by Tim+C · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You have power divided by speed, giving dimensions of ([E]/[T])/([L]/[T]) ([E] = energy, [T] = time, [L] = length).

    Reducing this, we end up with [E]/[L]. However, the dimensions of the Newton are ([M][L])/([T][T]), as the units are kgms^-2. (From F=ma, F is in N, m is in kg, a is in ms^-2)

    In other words, your equation is wrong :)

    Can Firefox 2.0 have middle click to open a new window?

    I use firefox 0.8 since every time I down load a new version it seems to only open new tab screens. I hate Tabs. And I don't want to left click and pull down.
