    Excel 2007 Regression line calculations

    I have data with uncertainties (+/- 0.05) and I plotted the error bars accordingly. However, I also need to show the uncertainties in the slope and Y intercept of the regression line. I'm not sure how to do this in excel 07. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro

    I'm looking for a pair of < $200 earbuds/IEM's for portable use with my iPod. I've used canal phones in the past (one of sony's) and in-ear designs don't bother me. Most reviewers seem to prefer the Super.Fi 5 Pro's to alternatives such as the Shure e4c. Anyone have any personal...

    marriott hotel internet policy is stupid

    So the wired internet (no wireless) in room is $10/day. However, there is free wireless in the lobby. As expected, I'm sitting in the lobby instead of paying $10. I would think that complimentary internet in room makes more sense than complimentary internet in lobby. That is all.

    bass vibrations and hard drives

    Could the vibrations from the bass of a subwoofer potentially damage a harddrive? How often does this occur? This could be a stupid question, but I often feel the vibrations all over the room and I doubt that they're good for the hdd.

    lexus gs 430/350

    I was just perusing the lexus website and saw that the v6 gs350 has 303 hp while the v8 gs430 has 290hp. The gs430 v8, however, has 319ft/lb of torque, while the gs350 has 274ft/lb of torque. I think I read somewhere that the gs430 appears to have less hp because of new measurement...

    women in porsche 911's

    Whenever I see a woman in a 911(especially a new 2007 911 turbo) I just assume that her husband/partner is letting her borrow the car. I really don't believe that many women would purchase the car. I think this not really because I believe that they're incapable of doing so (even though the...

    free public wifi

    I was pleasantly surprised to see free public wifi at the airport when I opened up the laptop. I'm pretty sure that this is relatively new...wasn't here a few months ago! Am I at risk of any specific risk of malicious attacks while on this network? And what can I do to prevent it.

    Is there a need for me to get dd-wrt firmware

    All I really care about is basic security and basic router function. The buffalo firmware seems to have the security that I need (WPA2, Mac filtering, etc) and the ability to forward ports. Will dd-wrt make anything "better?" All that i've really seen is an improvement in user interface.
