The film Equilibrium was heavily influenced by Fahrenheit 451 and Nineteen Eighty-Four.

# In Touch-Starting from an attempt for cheaper fusion power using superconductivity, which was discovered by Onnes, with liquid gas provided by Louis-Paul Cailletet, who carried out experiments on a tower built by Gustave Eiffel, who also built the Statue of Liberty with its famous poem by the Jewish activist Emma Lazarus, helped by Oliphant, whose boss Elgin was the son of the man who stole the Elgin Marbles and sold them with the help of royal painter Thomas Lawrence, whose colleague Dr. Hunter had an assistant whose wife's lodger was Benjamin Franklin, who charted the Gulf Stream with a thermometer Fahrenheit borrowed from Ole Rømer, whose friend Picard surveyed Versailles and provided the water for the fountains and the royal gardens and all the trees that inspired Duhamel to write the book on gardening that was read by the architect William Chambers, who hired the Scottish stonemason Thomas Telford, whose idea for London Bridge was turned down by Thomas Young, whose light waves travel in ether, as do Hertz's electricity waves, with which Helmholtz prods a frog to disprove the vitalists, whose leader, Klages, analyzes handwriting so individual zip codes have to be capital letters to get your mail to a jungle village to keep you " In Touch ".

He has written for television, including The Stone Dance ( 1963 ), Children Playing ( 1967 ), House of Character ( 1968 ) ( staged by the Birmingham Rep as No Title in 1974 ), Blodwen, Home from Rachel's Marriage ( 1969 ), Bypass ( 1972 ), Atrocity ( 1973 ), the Alan Clarke-directed Penda's Fen ( 1974 ), and Artemis 81 ( 1981 ); for radio, including No Accounting for Taste ( 1960 ), Gear Change ( 1967 ), Cries from Casement as His Bones are Brought to Dublin ( 1973 ) ( also staged by the RSC ); and for cinema, including François Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 ( 1966 ).

Several attempts have been made, including OpenGL ++ and the SGI / Microsoft Fahrenheit graphics API, but none of these have made it to production.

Because of Fahrenheit's surprise critical and commercial success, Karma was temporarily put on hiatus to focus production on Heavy Rain ( an extension of the Fahrenheit formula ).

" The announcements can also be heard in Cowboy Bebop's " Session 5: Ballad of Fallen Angels ", playing on a radio in the background during Annie's store scene ; the video game Grand Theft Auto's in-game radio station " Head Radio "; the Sega Dreamcast game Shenmue 2, during the music track " Gifts "; in the background of episode 1 of Californication ; and in the game Fahrenheit, where it can be faintly heard among static on a restaurant's radio.

In his initial scale ( which is not the final Fahrenheit scale ), the zero point is determined by placing the thermometer in brine: he used a mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride, a salt, at a 1: 1: 1 ratio.

Various reasons have been suggested for the resistance to the Celsius system in the U. S., including the larger size of each degree Celsius ( resulting in the need for decimals where integer Fahrenheit degrees were adequate for much non-technical work ), the lower zero point in the Fahrenheit system ( which reduces the number of negative signs when measurements such as weather data were averaged ), and the more intuitive alignment of its 0-100 scale to the ordinary range of outdoor temperatures seen in most of the U. S. ( e. g., 0 ° F

Ashcroft composed a paean called " Let the Eagle Soar " which he sang at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in February 2002, which was satirically featured in Michael Moore's 2004 movie Fahrenheit 9 / 11 and has been frequently mocked by comedians such as David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and David Cross, to name a few.

On December 17, 1997, Microsoft and SGI initiated the Fahrenheit project, which was a joint effort with the goal of unifying the OpenGL and Direct3D interfaces ( and adding a scene-graph API too ).

Finally in 1724 Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit produced a temperature scale which now ( slightly adjusted ) bears his name.

Other fixed points were used in the past are the body temperature ( of a healthy adult male ) which was originally used by Fahrenheit as his upper fixed point ( to be a number divisible by 12 ) and the lowest temperature given by a mixture of salt and ice, which was originally the definition of.

Some marine worms are tube worms, of which the giant tube worm lives in waters near underwater volcanoes, and can withstand temperatures up to 90 degrees Celsius or about 194 degrees Fahrenheit.

The City is situated around the magnificent Kings Bay, which is spring-fed and so keeps a constant 72-degrees Fahrenheit temperature year round.

Physiological differences from humans include two hearts which normally beat at 170 beats per minute, an internal body temperature of 15 degrees Celsius ( 59 degrees Fahrenheit ) and a " respiratory bypass system " that allows them to survive strangulation.

The impression of " boiling " does not result from the temperature of the water, which stays at 52 degrees Fahrenheit ( 11 degrees Celsius ) year-round, but rather from a unique hydrogeological feature.

In the end only the scene graph portion of the Fahrenheit system was released, known as XSG, which disappeared shortly after release.

Eventually SGI abandoned work on Fahrenheit and started planning other Scene Graph products which became the last in a series of such projects.

A still common system is the English Engineering Units in which the mass reference is pound mass and the temperature is specified in degrees Fahrenheit or Rankine.

This project died when SGI turned their attention to an almost identical project with Microsoft known as Fahrenheit, which was also killed.
