Stop following me around the forum, troll.

Edit - I'm not your friend, buddy,

My friend, there is no shame in admitting that you were simply attention whoring with this thread. With luck, someone here on the forum may even be able to help you with your problem. So, don't be ashamed, just admit that you lied and all will be forgiven. Everyone knows this.

Yes, you got me. You figured out my masterfully devious plan to fool ATOT into thinking I had never used Excel.

Well why even start this thread if you are full of shit?

I've never used Excel, I've always stuck with the Quadro Pro line.

That's a really good question.

I've graphed a shit load of data... it's called graph paper + pencil.

So I guess you've never used a word processor either? Pencil + paper... or typewriter + paper.

I don't believe that you've never used a spreadsheet.

You should try Quattro Pro sometime...

Join the club. Imagine what I could have done if I had you guys really believing it though. It would have been EPIC!

WELCOME WELCOME EVERYONE!

Currently there is a very amusing fight going on between the OP and theflyingpig. It has everything you could ask for: substance, drama, suspense, and accusations. I would say its pretty even right now but theflyingpig has all the momentum.

If you want to see any of the other fine fights going on at ATOT, please check out these threads:
http://forums.anandtech.com/me...AR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

This is a fight between Chris and everyone else about java. There are fightin words being thrown around in that thread!

#2: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...AR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear
This is a thread about a mac commercial that has turned into semantics about windows 7 version numbers. Chris, GodlessAstronomer and countless others are involved in this one as well. Its hilarious.

Enjoy!

I've been using spreadsheets since... oh, probably 1996 or thereabouts. I would have been in 6th grade. Making lists of names/addresses for mail merge operations, graphing and calculations, etc. Knowing Excel was mandatory for me to pass the 9th grade in high school. I still use it on a near-daily basis, though not for much -- usually just for adding up products/prices/etc and performing quick totals based on reference numbers such as invoice and purchase order.

Oh, he's the troll...

GodlessAstronomer and theflyingpig are teaming up to fill in for spaceman.

I don't think anyone could fill that endless void...

Maybe, but they are both obviously trying very, very hard to be the #1 troll on ATOT.

Oh, I get it now. This is another one of your threads where you claim to not know/do something that is common for most normal people. Just stop already.

Yes, it is weird. Have you no data to organize or crunch? Heck, you can even do finite difference modeling on a spreadsheet.

Finite differences on a spreadsheet? You're funny. I'd like to see the spreadsheet that can handle poisson's equation for say an arbitrary 4-sided (straight sides) domain in 2d. I'd also like to see said spreadsheet that is extensible (i.e. not a PITA to increase the number of points). Or the spreadsheet that could solve the time-dependent problem explicitly (not to mention implicitly).

Solving PDEs/ODEs isn't what you'd want to use a spreadsheet for (though low order ODEs would be reasonably easy). This is the domain of MATLAB for simple things & real programming languages like C/C++ or Fortran for complex systems.

OP: I'm not sure how you made it so far in life w/o using spreadsheets... a lot of 'data taking' software (like labview) for windows produce spreadsheets (and once it's there you might as well use excel?). And plenty of people I've worked with over the years prefer to do things with spreadsheets. They're pretty common in my experience even if they aren't the best tool for the job.

I think I can count the number of times I've used Excel on one hand.

TFP vs. GA is much more interesting than the rest of the thread though.

I'm surprised you haven't used Excel for any of your physics classes. I did a lot of my data analysis/graphing with Excel for physics labs.

yes. I don't know what kind of physics/chem--or any physical sciences-based education would consider awarding a degree without some knowledge of spreadsheets. it's ....laughable.

that being said, I rarely use them these days outside of tables and simple organizational means. Nothing mind-blowing. My GF is one of those Excel experts, though. She could take over the world with her spreadsheet skills.

Final Cut Pro is not the best solution for video editing. Where did you get that BS?

 

[krunchykrome]

my life is a spreadsheet

 

[Crono]

It's not that weird, especially if you have other means for managing your finances and doing calculations.

 

[her209]

You've used spreadsheets indirectly.

 

[alkemyst]

you don't get girls either...

Do you have any money/finances at all?

 

[KentState]

For a typical person, I would say that it may be strange, but for you, it's acceptable.
