Comment Re:Fahrenheit? (Score 1) 280

As the old story goes...a professor was lecturing that the Sun was 10,000,000 degrees. A student asked "Is that Celsius or Kelvin?" and he replied "What does it matter?"

Celsius vs Kelvin doesn't matter when talking about 10,000,000 degrees, as they only differ in the zero point by a few hundred degrees, which is not significant on that range. 10,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit on the other hand is only about 5.5 million degrees Celsius which *is* a significant difference (almost 50%).

Submission + - iD and Valve violating GPL

frooge writes: With the recent release of iD's catalog on Steam, it appears DOSBox is being used to run the old DOS games for greater compatibility. According to a post on the Halflife2.net forums, however, this distribution does not contain a copy of the GPL license that DOSBox is distributed under, which violates the license. According to the DOSBox developers, they were not notified that it was being used for this release.
