Integrated command line math

‘qalc’ is the command-line version of Qalculate![0] and runs both directly from the command line as well as interactively with tab-completion of variables (Planck mass, for example) and arbitrary unit conversion:

  $ qalc
  > 15 kilogram * (4 m/s)^2 / 2
  
    (15 * kilogram * (((4 * meter) / second)^2)) / 2 = 120((kg*m^2) / s^2)
  
  > convert best
  
    120((kg*m^2) / s^2) = 120 J
  
  > convert gTNT
  
    120 J = approx. 28.680688 mgTNT

I have the GTK version of it bound to the blue ‘ThinkVantage’ key, it comes in more than handy multiple times a day :)
