  1. Err... No. Transformers are pretty good. It isn't the transformers, It is the high current travailing between the transformer stations and the end point at the appliance. Lower voltage means higher current. High current means more loss due to conversion to heat.
  2. solved it, was a problem with my cross sheet referencing. The formula I needed was =LOGEST(y,x) What I was trying to do was use the formula of the exponential to predict a value of Y where X is known (if it means anything its gel filtration [aka size exclusion chromatography]) The reason I'm not just copying it down is because the calibration curve is unique to the piece of equipment being used, and it has to be calibrated with standards. As I will be using many of these things, and my co workers also use some of their own, I wanted to design a spreadsheet that allows you to input the calibration data and it will do the rest. Then on the main sheet you have a box into which you put your experimentally determined X value and it will predict Y. You also have to re-calibrate these things quite frequently to keep them accurate so in the long run i wanted it to save me time as well. I will be making another one for something else next week. Lucky for me its a simple linear regression so much more simple to do.
  3. I am trying to get the formula from an exponential fit im my chart into a cell to use for a set of calculations i require. I dont want to type it in because im trying to make an automated sheet for producing some calibration curves. My formula from the test data set is this: y = 33768*Exp(-3.7892*x) I can get the first (33768) part with this formula =EXP(INDEX(LINEST(LN(y),x),1,2)) Y=Range of y valye X=range of X values The suggested formula for my second number (-3.7892) is this =INDEX(LINEST(LN(y),x),1) but this does not give me the correct number. (i get -875.51) Anyone know the correct formula to use? Thanks in advance
  4. Actually its where the voltage is stepped down for houses where most of the losses are made. Even in europe at 220v this is the case so I dont see how altering the voltage by 100v will really make a difference considering that the voltage is being reduced from 1000s of volts. The real solution is more energy efficent devices and less wreckless waste. If you are away for 3 days your air con doesnt need to be on. In winter heating should only be on minimum if the pipes are at risk of being frozen, otherwise it should be off.
  5. i'm sure i would have a for few of those...
  6. this is why someone with the experience and the correct at!@#$%^&*ude will have to take the task. I trust polix judgement to make sure a smooth transition is made rather then one where "friend" a takes over and buggers it up. Would still be great you see ya around polix don't get me wrong, but real life always has to come first so i think all will understand.
  7. if that could be implimented in a way which could be updated remotly, or as part of a zone list update it would be better. I like the sound of that, feeds would give a range of content but having the ability to remove things that get political is a must.

  10. It would have to be run in a bull!@#$%^&* free way. Strict rules on contents would need to be adheared to and run by trustworth community members. Im saying it should be used for SSC news and zones can put in an event ad every so often. Trouble is a lot of newbs dont know whats going on outside of the zone they play. Im not starting .41 rumors, just saying that should it happen this would be a suggestion for an addition.
  11. reason i didnt put it in the dissertion board is because i think it applies equilly to subspace the future as well as continuum 0.41
  12. what other software are you running that may be graphically demanding? What is your screen resolution?
  13. this is what happens when a nation sits on its high horse over its views in the way the world should be. Its a self perpetuating cycles, America irritates militants who then become more determined to attack and recruit new militants in other areas.
  14. last time i played it through the fire and the flames was hard enough on medium...
  15. if it was raised you would just make so much money it would become pointless for the rest of us.
  16. i bet loads on thet poker and kept getting nothing. Guess my luck wasnt in.
  17. thanks for the info I personally see very few people sig zagging though, usually people just passing traffic in the more appropriate places (which in many cases is right down the middle, coming up to roundabouts where I am the cycle lane is actually down the middle of the 2 lanes of cars) but you willalways get the idiots...
  18. sad to see you go man. Thanks for all the work you have put into all this stuff, SSCentral and SSforum has long been a cornerstone of the communioty and the work you have done to bring the various elements together here has no dount been invaluble. Best of luck IRL, hope to see you around for the odd visit from time to time. Dav
  19. it is legal in the UK, some areas have special lanes down the middle of traffic but its usually accepted to p!@#$%^&* traffic on the left. zigzaging is fround upon but not illegal as far as i know.
  20. meh i bet it all trying to catch up with you guys probably a good thing, its a distraction from work i really dont need at the minute
  21. can we have a max lose limit? I just lost everything
  22. This one gfoes out as a general devolpment suggestion rather then to a specific project so this forum seemed most appropriate. Seeing as people dont always read this forum perhaps it would be a nice addition to have a weekly news bullitin sent out over the whole game. Like with current zone news, when the game is loaded the player will have an option to read the news file. It could contain news that affects the whole game, and plug large events / zone opening / whatever to keep the whole community up to date.
  23. I think the clent at current is too limited to do this, perhaps ASSS may have the potential to do something but it would be dofficault if not impossible. One of the next gen clients will be the way to make this happen.

    Subspace 2

    I like the sound of that. I think of of the things that has really kept continuum going is the adaptability of it, it is something that should be expanded heavily in any new version.

    [PS3] GTA4

    A friend of mine bought an xbox360 (despite already owning an ps3) and GTA4 yesterday. Apparently the cars are harder to drive and the controls take some getting used to.
