I could have sworn from the mini-series subtitles that they spell it "carom", I could be wrong. --Laven 18:59, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- It's spelled "carom" in the season one DVD subtitles as well. Making the change. -- Joe Beaudoin 21:58, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- Thanks for that guys, I greated the entry myself after work one night, forgetting to check the subtitles. Appreciated. -- Mike Reid 01:27, 31 Aug 2005 (GMT)
Degrees?
edit sourceA number larger than 360 does likely rule out degrees as the unit of measure, but 360 is not the key dividing number for degrees to be unlikely; the measurement would be in the [-90,90] or [0,180] range depending on the angle labeled 0 degrees.
- In the military other divisions are common too. For example dividing a circle into 400 degrees makes it easier to calculate some things in the head. And you could say "25 degrees" for 1/16 of a circle. That's impossible to do with 360° --Serenity 16:30, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Don't forget Mils, there's 6400 in a circle. :) (Sorry, had a land nav class today, plus one on the five-paragraph opord.) --Talos 16:53, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
