[time-nuts] time-nuts Digest, Vol 61, Issue 77

Alas, yes,  the RCH is no longer politically correct.   It's slightly more acceptable cousin is now the RPH.

I have a friend that does monomolecular / monoatomic layers.  His definition of a thin film is a gnats ass spread over the Rockies...


On the subject of small things.  Let's replace that ugly unit of time,  the nanosecond,  with a swooptier measure of time...  the femtofortnight.   I once worked for a company that had utterly insane paperwork requirements for each project.  Clearly nobody ever read  any of it.  I would do a design in a week and the spend the next year twiddling my toes waiting for the rest of the company to catch up with the paperwork.  I wrote a spec for a board where all the timing was specified in ffn.  It was years later before anybody ever noticed and asked what the heck an ffn was.
