Let's go.........RANDOM!

35ºC is too damn hot, especially if you add humidity to it. Had that when I was in Northern France earlier on in the year (August ish) and it was not fun. 25 is a fine temperature. Anything over is too hot.

[KingAl]

Yay for AC.

Indeed, Tesla > Edison, eh?

/me bows his head in shame

On another note - has the temperature ever gotten that high in Melbourne?

[Pox]

Hell yes, we have 38+ highs for most of jan and feb, and it gets hotter than that... last summer was a cool one, the one before we hit 43 I think.

[Feud]

Yes, it is a very good thing. There are few things more wonderful than a hot breeze on a dark summer night...

It's a good thing when the humidity is low, otherwise NOT!

Humidity has never bothered me much, so meh, bring it or leave it.

Ever since my holiday in Malaysia/Singapore, I can tell you that it makes the difference between a warm breeze and a steaming oven. I assume you live close to Death Valley if you're not one for humidity.

No where near Death Valley, actually. I've lived in Arizona which has fairly low humidity (except during the monsoon season), and I've also lived in Florida where humidity is fairly high. It doesn't bother me that much, so I repeat my assertion of meh.

Kelvin makes more sense than Celcius, but it's still based on the arbitrary values to do with state changes... as far as I'm concerned, 1 degree should be the tmeperature gained by a milliltre of water when it is heated with 1 J, rather than bringing calories into the situation as well.

That's because you're doing it wrong. Celsius scale was basically defined by "water freezes at 0 and boils at 100", a calorie was defined as "the energy required to elevate 1 gram (or mililitre) of water one degree".

i.e.: A calorie was defined based on the definition of degree, not the reverse.

Uhh... what?

So the local Mart of Wal is selling the first season of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles for fairly cheap.

Has anyone seen it, would it be worth picking up?

[captainslow]

I've seen it -- season two started a couple weeks ago. It's good, but not stellat. A fun show, with pretty decent production values, but I'm not sure if I'd buy it. If it's not too expensive, go right ahead, but it's no masterpiece.

[Ace Rimmer]

Yeah, I've seen a few (about half) of the episodes. Not worth it in my opinion, was kind of a let down for me.

[Pox]

Aargh! My build environment has gone insane!

[Phelanpt]

Stay cool, and don't let the kernel panic. Time solves most problems.

I like it, if only for Summer Glau being a machine of death and awesome. Not an amazing plot, but it's an entertaining diversion once a week. Also, Summer Glau.

[xander]

...Summer Glau.

QFFT.

Fun fact: She's yet another example of actresses playing characters way, way, younger than themselves. By about a decade.

That always confuses me.
