Bien choisir ses programmes TV

Translation: [ Google | Babelfish ]

Categories: [ TV ]

De plus en plus souvent de par le Web, je lis des remarques exaspérées de personnes qui se plaignent du niveau abyssal des chaînes de télévision généralistes. Mais en même temps, il semble que les gens regardent la TV plutôt que de regarder des programmes soigneusement choisi. Étant donné que 90% des programmes sont bons à jeter, il n'est pas étonnant qu'en allumant la TV au hasard, on tombe neuf fois sur dix sur un tel programme.

Il n'est pourtant pas difficile de choisir à l'avance ce qu'on veut regarder, l'enregistrer et le regarder quand on a le temps. On évite ainsi deux tracas liés à la télévision : les mauvais programmes diffusés lorsqu'on a le temps de regarder la TV, et les horaires impossibles des programmes intéressants.

Regarder la TV intelligemment est donc possible. Mais ça ne change rien au fait que 90% des programmes sont bons à jeter.

Aku Ankan taskukirja 309: Tähtien Setä

Translation: [ Google ]

Categories: [ Books/Comics ]

Ostin sen koska olin (en ole varma olenko enää) Tähtien sodan iso fani. Mutta Aku Ankka ei enää ole niin hauska kuin silloin kun olin 12v. Jotkut tarinat olivat järjettömiä.

Considerations About Humidity 2: Solar Cooling

Categories: [ Science ]

WBT When wrapping an object (e.g., a beer bottle) in a wet cloth and leaving it to dry, the bottle will be cooled down due to the evaporation of the water. The chart on the left gives the theoretical temperature that the bottle is supposed to reach depending on the temperature of the air and the relative humidity. It does not take into account direct exposure to the heat of the sun (which increases the temperature), nor the wind (which probably affects only the speed at which the cooling occurs, not the final temperature).

The formula used gives the wet bulb temperature based on the dry bulb temperature (i.e., the temperature of the air) and the relative humidity. “Wet” and “dry” bulbs refer to the two bulbs of a psychrometer

Elisa ADSL:n kosto

Translation: [ Google ]

Categories: [ Grumbling ]

Tarina jatkuu. Sain tänä aamuna kirjeen Elisalta:

“Osoiterekisterissämme olleen valitettavan virheen vuoksi saat tiedon hintamuutoksesta vasta nyt.”

Yllättävästi, lasku saapui oikeaan osoitteeseen jo viikko sitten.

“Hintamuutoksella Elisa haluaa varmistaa mahdollisuuden tarjota asiakkailleen jatkossakin laadukkaita ja kehittyviä laajakaistapalveluita.”

Kalliimmat yhteydet pysyvät saman hintaisina. Tarkoittaako se että noista palveluista tulee huonompia? Tai ehkä niiden yhteyksien käyttäjät ovat maksaneet liikaa tähän asti?

Considerations About Humidity

Categories: [ Science ]

PVS Relative humidity is the ratio of the current amount of water (vapor) in the air over the maximum amount of water the air can hold (when the air is saturated with water vapor). The latter value depends on the temperature of the air: the warmer the air, the more water it can hold. The graph on the left shows this value, called the saturation vapor pressure, and has ben drawn based on the Goff-Gratch equation

The temperature to which a given volume of air must be cooled down in order for the water it contains to reach the saturation vapor pressure is called dew point. When the dew point is below 15 °C, the atmosphere is comfortable. Between 15 °C and 20 °C it is uncomfortable, and above it is considered as oppressive. Moreover, a sane living atmosphere should have a relative humidity comprise between 30 and 50%. From this we can infer that limit comfortable conditions are e.g., 26 °C at 50% humidity, 30 °C at 40% humidity or 35 °C at 30% humidity.

Also, dry air feels cooler at room temperature. When relative humidity is ideal, temperatures in buildings can be lowered without causing discomfort to people in them.

Finally, when the relative humidity is low, one is more prone to electrostatic discharge, which is prevented in humid conditions because the surface layer of moisture on many objects conducts electric charges harmlessly to earth and prevents electrostatic charges to accumulate on the human body.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Categories: [ Books ]

ISBN: 0747584680

© Amazon.fr

I just read it a second time (first time was just after it got released, in July last year). As for the previous books, it was not boring to read (on the contrary to other books I recently read, like Edding's Dreamers' series). The only bad point in that book, like in the two previous ones too, is the fact that the series has ceased being suitable for children: the main characters, although depicted as teenagers, are far too smart compared to regular teenagers, and involved in far too complex situations. Of course, it would be much less interesting to read if the characters had the wits of your average teen…
