Buying meat is no harder or easier in pounds or kilograms, you just need to have a sense for how much each is so you can ask for an appropriate amount.
I.e. a "Quarter pounder" or a "Royale with cheese".
but for me comparing 623 millimetres to 1.01m (1010 millimetres) not only makes the comparison easy, but I get an intuitive feel that one is a little over a third larger than the other.
FTFY.
But then I guess the difference here isn't metric vs imperial, it's more that imperial seems to prefer fractions, whereas metric favours a decimal number. You never write 1/2cm, always 0.5cm or 5mm.
FTFY too...

dpkg -L <package>
E.g.
dpkg -L base-files
If you want to do the reverse, you would use dpkg -S <filename>
E.g.
dpkg -S
Sure... You know how we use to have black&white images, then we got 8-bit color palettes, then 24 bits for RGB and later 32 bits for RGBA. This is just the next step...
8 bits for red, 8 bits for green, 8 bits for blue, 8 bits for the alpha channel, 32 bits for gamma correction, 64 bits of DRM and finally 128 bits for the IPv6 address of each pixel.
You know how to tell people who learned C before 1995 (or so) from people who learned it after?
The second category writes "x--" whenever they can, and "--x" only where they have to. The first one writes "--x" whenever they can, and "x--" only where they have to.
I started coding in C around 1990 and as far as I can remember I have almost always used the postfix version, i.e. x--;
Oh, and you can also save a couple chars here if you use puts() instead of printf() - it automatically adds "\n", and it's also faster because it doesn't have to parse the format string. ~
You're right, but for some reason I tend to avoid puts(). Probably because it reminds me too much of gets().
The problem earlier was their nameservers.
