From 2790da8d065d6c6f942c7fcfeb4fb10d031fc3a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mph Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 06:20:57 +0000 Subject: s/-300K/~300K/ This is an absolute (kelvin) temperature. I expect that in the original source it was typeset as $\sim 300~{\rm K}$ or similar, meaning "approximately 300 K". Changing it to a minus sign in the fortunes file was clearly an error, as absolute temperatures are by definition positive. --- games/fortune/datfiles/fortunes | 2 +- games/fortune/datfiles/fortunes2 | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'games/fortune') diff --git a/games/fortune/datfiles/fortunes b/games/fortune/datfiles/fortunes index 2937988..3f62d34 100644 --- a/games/fortune/datfiles/fortunes +++ b/games/fortune/datfiles/fortunes @@ -13815,7 +13815,7 @@ heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation.
