Google Calc Error...

[bsodmike]

This is a fairly random post, hence posting it in this forum. I found a very slight bug in Google's calc, and have mentioned it here.

From the digg submission,

During some random abuse of Google's calculator feature, I noticed that it would misinterpret oz/in to kg/cm torque conversions and for a while, was convinced that I was the one going crazy...I mean come on - it's Google! They are quite wrong; not the end of the world but I would like to continue using their calculator, so I hope they fix it...

The full story maybe found here.

Software is never perfect, the Google dev's aren't coding Gods (well, I like to think they are) but they haven't got infinite power to fix every single bug Plus, I'd love to see the people complaining about it code a calculator.

Well tbh, I doubt it's a coding error persay. They probably have all the conversions stored in some sort of lookup table (or some such) and someone just entered the wrong value in, and no ones really noticed it.

I'm more peeved that I can't get my message across to them, even after submitting a bug report...maybe they don't believe me
