      This one is right up there with PARSECS_FOR_KESSEL_RUN.

              Of course not. The logical name is: MILLISEC_PER_SEC_1000_SIC

              ... such stuff as dreams are made on

                    How fast is your product traveling? You might need a variable for it.

                      I once had a customer tell me, "I want this process time to be ten seconds. Ten German seconds. Not American seconds." We all laughed.

                        That's what I would think, as the SI-system is fairly logical. Then you meet someone from the UK and they tell you there's x feet in an inch. It's also a nice shortcut, to change the display from msec to sec, just by setting this constant to "0" instead of "1000" :p

                        Yes, but that's quite a difficult value. Imperial still has some very logical measurements, such as Rod (unit) - Wikipedia[^]

                              Depending on the usage you might then get a "Division by zero" exception / fatal error popup window instead.

                                    Is that cubits / Pirate-Ninja? Did you know there is a unit called the sheppey - about ​7⁄8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque?
