	Kilometre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A kilometre (American spelling: kilometer), symbol: km is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1000 metres (from the Greek words χίλια (khilia) = thousand and μέτρο (metro) = count/measure).
		Like the kilometre, all units of length in the metric system are based on the metre, by adding an SI prefix that stands for a power of ten, such as hecto for one hundred to form hectometre (= 0.1 kilometre) or mega for one million to form megametre (= 1,000 kilometre).
		Unicode has symbols for "km" (㎞), for square kilometre (㎢) and for cubic kilometre (㎦); however, they are useful only in CJK texts, where they are equal in size to one Chinese character.

	Square kilometre - Simple English Wikipedia
		A square kilometre (sometimes written km²) is based on the SI unit of measurement of area, the square metre.
		It is the area inside a square that has each side equal to 1 kilometre (1000 metres).
		One square kilometre is just less than 0.39 square miles.

	The Square Kilometre Array project
		The latest international meeting (held during July 1998 in Calgary) was devoted to producing the formal science case for the Square Kilometre Array.
		However, with the advent of a new technology it is often not the questions expected to be answered which provide the most important discoveries, but those which no-one had thought to ask.
		Perhaps the most exciting science driver for the Square Kilometre Array is the opportunity to study the origins of star- and galaxy-formation in the Universe, along with the large scale structure which is intimately connected with this process.

	Questions & Answers: Kilometre
		In 1988 kilometre with initial stress was just in the majority, but in ten years had slipped back to only 43% of those who replied.
		As you say, in scientific use the stress tends to be more often on the first syllable, perhaps because the significance of the prefix is more obvious in technical contexts.
		What puzzles people about this stress shift with kilometre is that it doesn’t occur with most other metric units in -metre (-meter if you’re American): we don’t move it in centimetre or millimetre, for example.

	No 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' film depicts war in Iraq as liberation \| csmonitor.com
		But his film "Kilometre Zero" created a good deal of buzz at the competition, which closed on Saturday, not least because of its final scene.
		Kilometre Zero's costar is Ako's Arab driver, and much of the tension in the film derives from the inimical tension in the car between Arab and Kurd as the two men drive the length of Iraq with a flag-draped coffin on the roof.
		Also starring, though, is Saddam Hussein, a constant presence in posters and adulatory graffiti and, surreally, in the shape of a massive sculpture on a flat-bed truck that seems to haunt Ako throughout his journey.

	Astronomy with the Square Kilometre Array (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be a revolutionary new instrument at centimetre and metre radio wavelengths, with an effective collecting area more than 30 times greater than Arecibo and 100 times greater than the VLA.
		Vigorous technological developments in computing and radio frequency devices make it possible for such a telescope, with one million square metres of collecting area, to be built by 2020.
		Such a telescope will be a discovery instrument with exquisite sensitivity, able to survey large-scale structure in the very early universe as well as pinpoint the details of radio emission near massive fl holes in active galactic nuclei.

	T2000BC ideas page: distance based auto insurance
		Under a pay-by-the-year system, the insurance cost is a fixed annual fee and the marginal cost of each kilometre driven is $1500/15000 or 10 cents.
		Because of the inherent fairness of paying insurance premiums for the actual kilometres of driving risk undertaken, and the lack of arbitrary, unfair boundaries as in the use classification system, one should expect that a pay-by-the-kilometre system becomes more respected than the present pay-by-the-year system and that the tendency to cheat the system is reduced.
		Attempts to cheat a pay-by-the-kilometre system could be made by buying insurance only for a small number of kilometres at the start of the year and then winding the odometer back throughout the year or disconnecting the odometer/speedometer altogether.
