If you work in something related to physics (energy, maths, chemistry), I can not recommend `units` enough.

As a small example:

  You have: 10 kcal / g * 24 kg * .13USD/kWh
  You want: USD
  * 36.261333
It's so useful when converting between different units

I want a tool that does that kind of conversion for me. I've been looking(not actively or with any sort of effort) for such a too since my friend showed me a mac only text based converter that did something like the above. I've been toying with writing one.
