Google Calculator is my hero

Mooneer’s starting a hosting service. He’s considering charging $125/mbps, and wants to know how much per GB that is, assuming full-tilt usage for a month. We did the math in our heads and calc.exe. Paul said Damn. Google Calculator can’t do that conversion. I started messing with different ways of specifying units… and lo and behold it can!

125 (dollars per month per (megabit per second)) in dollars per gigabyte

This is nontrivial engineering. But I guess that’s to be expected from Google these days…
