Re: SE5 release is only 3 weeks away!
Can't use 100 as freezing and 0 as boiling. Since 100 is much greater than 0, and the energetic kinetic motion of water molecules are greater while boiling than while freezing, it just makes sense to have the greater value with the greater value, and vise versa.
Not to mention the fact that having huge negative numbers for extremely hot events would be a pain in the arse!

Re: SE5 release is only 3 weeks away!
But I like cold more than I like heat. So colder = bigger number = better!
If we were to be truly logical though, I say we should measure things in terms of some combination of the sums, multiples, and powers of e, pi, and phi.

Re: SE5 release is only 3 weeks away!
You have a point there Will.
I too like cold temps. much more than warm ones. My reasoning is simple; it's a lot easier to warm up if you're cold (put more clothes on) than it is to cool off if you're hot!
Defining our numbering systems by e, pi, phi would be...not fun for someone like me who isn't exactly a huge fan of math. Not to mention the fact that little kids would have a really hard time learning how to count!!

No, no, no...You're all wrong!
We should all count in base alphabet!

Ah, you still have much to learn, grasshopper. The best way to warm up when you're cold is to attach yourself to a member of your prefered sex, and warm up together. But that's off topic...

Indeed it would be the best way to warm up, but as I'm not on such friendly terms with any member of the opposite sex, I'm afraid I'll have to stick with clothes for now!

Re: SE5 release is only 3 weeks away!
Once again I want to shoot myself for checking this thread.
there's a faint hope lingering in my mind's recesses... i keep thinking maybe one day someone will post a link to Aaron's update on the SE5 release date...
i'm barely holding on!

Maybe we should all adopt Marain now: http://homepages.compuserve.de/Mostr...el/marain.html
I'm sure they have some sperlatively sensible measurement systems. |

Y'know, with advice like that I can just picture Will as some mystical sage/socrates like man, travelling the world bringing simple solutions to life's many problems  |
