1U or RU for Rack Unit, but Russia is .ru
Coincidence? You decide.

Let's see:
  
$ units
2411 units, 71 prefixes, 33 nonlinear units

You have: 1 vershok
Unknown unit 'vershok'

I'm shocked.  A unit of length it doesn't know about??

Very important information!

2009-03-20 Thread Paul Lussier

  The modern rack unit used in computing, i.e. the U in 1U, is by pure
  coincidence exactly equal to the vershok, an obsolete Russian
  measurement of length.


Just thought y'all should know ;)
