I like the megaparsec-barn. As an aside (and then I will stop because this thread is so far off-topic that I can't even see the topic): Fuel economy is measured in units of area (volume/distance). If you convert miles per gallon to an area you come up with something about as thick as a hair. Now imagine a hair of fuel feeding into your engine as you drive along. Then look at all the other cars. And think how many roads there are. Suddenly that's a collossal amount of fuel, easily visualised. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
