So it's 97 degrees outside.. it's pretty hot... Since everyone loves to
debate non-technical things on this list.. Let's debate Fahrenheit vs
Celcius...

Discuss!

I don't care, as long as the temperature is somewhere in the middle of
linear scale between freezing water and average healthy human body
temperature. And not higher than the latter, as nowadays!

 Did you know that a black body of that temperature would have a
heat flux density of 518,65 W/m^2?  Or for you imperal unit lovers:
1,008426495 hp/sqyd

It's been 42 degrees Celsius in Bucharest Romania. Like Jamie [Mythbusters] 
used to say: "You'd fry ... you'd boil.". Well ... I'm dying ...

Well, let's throw in the effect of humidity too. 

I can't believe I am posting this.  I guess since we will not be allowed
to or not allowed to in a timely matter in the near future, I better
make good of it.

Well, as one of the nicer off-topic threads on this list, might I
mention that I always wanted to patent a thermostat that regulates heat
index (or comfort index - a combination of temp and humidity) instead of
temperature.  And not just a humidistat - I don't want to dump water
into the air if it is dry - I just want to turn down the AC when it is
dry...

Then again, I guess this post pretty-much obliterates my chance of
getting a patent.  Then again, maybe somebody already has one but isn't
bothering to manufacture them - that would explain why I can't find one
for sale anywhere.

Instead I just have to set my temperature lower at night to compensate
for increased humidity - which is really just a lousy hack.  Where is
the Honeywell bugzilla when you need it...  :)

Rankine [1] brings you the best of two worlds: Starting at scientific
0 degrees, but using the convenient degree scale defined by some
obscure water-salt-mixture and a the slight fever of the average
gentoo-dev poster. :-)

tbh, you really need a different one for developers that takes into 
account how far above or below sea level you are because as the air gets 
thinner the mass of the water that is used to regulate their temperature 
would change in relation to the caffiene molecules

Well Celcius isn't the S.I scale for temperature but it's related with
Kelvin which is the S.I scale for temperature. The conversion formula to
Fahrenheit is °F = (°C × 1.8) + 32 and to kelvin is just K = °C +
273.15. These days i use more Kelvin than Celcius because it's used on
real life problems i have to solve.

Nah, you have a year to file in the US ;) The ROTW might not agree, however.

That's an awesome idea. Seriously, get this made. I want to buy one now. 
You name the price!

Amazingly enough, this thread brought up a product development 
discussion after all.

Well from my POV you have about 13 assholes 14 including me that felt
