Dont blame the tool !!!

Spreadsheet is great for a lot of things. Most users of spreadsheets dont hit those limits that you talk about.

My car speedometer is calibrated for displaying 140MPH speed but I rarely go above 75 MPH and that is true for most people who use the car. You are like that guy who tries to get the Honda Civic run like formula 1 and then complain that it aint good enough.

Comment Consensus is not science (Score 0, Troll) 458

It is crazy how scientific community behaves like just any other group where scientific methods are trumped by polls and consensus. It is exactly this herd mentality that prevented the community to look outside string theory for the grand unified theory.

Folks like Garrett Lisi had to resort to virtually getting away from civilization to make progress their own radical new ideas.

Comment from the article - it drives me nuts (Score 1) 302

"With iSuppli's estimated PS3 cost at $448.73, the product retailing in the United States at around $399 and taking into account other expenses, the PS3 may be able to break even in 2009 with further hardware revisions."

I don't know what this statement means. Are they saying that total cost (direct and indirect cost) per unit in 2009 will fall below $399 retail price ? If yes, then that is not breakeven. Also, it seems to me that they have very little idea of other expenses (both direct and indirect)to be able to even make that statement.

It drives me nuts ....
