Was that when you were posting the current time every 15 seconds? Or was that a different poster?

It took 20 seconds to run + 7 second delay. I added the delay for when the page is slow to load.

I only ran it for maybe 5 mins 2 or 3 times. I had it post the current time.

I'm always polite, no matter how little they deserve it. It's hard to be impolite when you use proper salutations, a please or two, and always close with a thank you.

Oh okay. I just thought that because of your tone in your posts. Makes sense though!

Looks like more rounding problems. I said 4.0*10^-12, they're coming up with 4.0*10^14. Those numbers are too similar to be anything but rounding differences.

Also, they had no cause to remove the negative before the exponent. It didn't cancel out.

Nope.

And there, in a nutshell, is why sig fig is bullshit, and the only people I've ever met who defend it are chemists.

Well to be fair in chem and physics it's EXTREMELY important. Measuring precision and errors can mean everything.

OOPS! I see the problem with the first part. I forgot to cube the radius of a sphere for volume. So the 4.0 is correct, and I suspect that'll take care of the difference in exponent. Maybe?

No.

I'll defeat sig fig with a single equation that a third grader can do.

3/2=2, per sig fig.

And we all know that isn't right.

BANE RESTS.
