Go to the Google website.
Where it says "search" you can enter:
Dollars to (British) Pounds
Gallons to Liters
Miles to Kilometers
Kilograms to lbs.
etc., and it will compare them for you.
pounds to dollars - Google Search
One British Pound is worth $1.97. :D Most of you might have known you could do this on Google, but I only recently discovered it, so I figured I'd share it. :o
Oh yes, the pound has never been so strong against the dollar - it used to be around $1.60 to a pound. It's great for us when visiting the States but rubbish for you guys coming here. Just makes our already expensive country even more expensive...Quote:

Brilliant...
I've got another trick for Google.. If you look up a website and click on the link, but it is a certain page that normal people don't have access to, so it takes you to a sign in screen,,,, then go back to the google search page,,, and find a small link under the main link that says "cached"... Most of the time, this will give you a picture of the page you were trying to get into, without needing to sign in..
I've used this to get a bunch of secret download links from a website that only certain special members of the site were able to get into... I wasn't even a member,,, let alone a special one.
Some porn sites that don't have super security, you may be able to use this also..
Not exactly the same, but I always use Google as my calculator. Much easier to just enter certain (not that difficult) calculations into the google search field in the toolbar than to open additional programs.Quote:

There are plenty of easter eggs on there also. A couple of the more well known ones are:
in the search field, type in:
Find Chuck Norris (then click I feel Lucky)
another one is:
elgoog (click I feel lucky)
I used it for celsius/centigrade to fahrenheit conversion. I've been lazy to memorize their conversion formula 'coz it involves two or three steps. Good for me, it's instant conversion there at the google.:):D;)
the best thing about google i think, are the maps..
they're so easy to use, and you can just drag the route it gives you to re-route your directions and stuff..
good stuff
Google is pretty handy...Didn't know that Diz
Thanks for the info.
