hitting the Dewer’s on the rocks a bit early, no?
Your recent posts don’t “sound” like the old MBBWIXYZ…they are a bit loosy-goosey, hippy dippy…remember to get a cab tonight.

(Freddy – both S&S)0November 30, 2009 at 10:08 pm #187189HAH! nothing wrong with a good blended, mbb.
Glenfidditch is a good single, but there is room for diversity in “Le Cafe Six Sigma and Jazz bar”.see Freddy? we can S&S and still be civil, because in the end, none of it matters, if the mantra of bottom line results isn’t drilled into our up and coming practitioners heads.0November 30, 2009 at 10:22 pm #187192Yes, hb, and much of comedy uses sarcasm effectively. That was never my argument. We were talking about motivating people to accomplish their best.
0November 30, 2009 at 10:42 pm #187193Dewars????
As in
Sir James Dewar
Is a better man that you are
Because none of you a!!!!
Can liquify gasses
…somehow a tall cold glass of O2 doesn’t sound particularly appealing….0December 1, 2009 at 12:20 am #187194Most text books have what you need, filed under “Confidence Intervals”, subcategory “of the mean”.
Your posting does violate a rule: You cannot get more lemon juice from a lemon that what is inside the lemon. (Otherwise known as significant digits.) Your input data is to the nearest tenth, yet you are asking for an output that is100 times more accurate. That should not be – neither in my shop nor in yours. Review significant digit rules first.0December 1, 2009 at 1:20 am #187195Nah, with this crew no enticing is needed. It’s a natural feeding frenzy.
