I last haven't slept in a car since I was a child and dad was driving us to Poole over-night, some time in the '40s. It's weird walking round Stonehenge at dawn in pyjamas..... I thought druids wore nighties? -- R o o n e y |

I'll wait till they do a car. :-) BMW did a rather smart one in prototype form, including an auto boot open for venting if a sensor detected a fuel leak. Saw it in the house magazine, no price mentioned! I like the idea of the boot flying open to scatter my luggage down the road.

Quote: Statisticians typically don't use the terms "quantitative" and "qualitative", and have instead developed more sophisticated categories of scale. A nominal scale allows distinction between different points of data, but not necessarily anything else; names are an example of a nominal scale. Nominal scales are always qualitative. An ordinal scale has an inherent system of ordering; the ratings "bad", "mediocre", and "good" are organized on an ordinal scale. Some ordinal scales are quantitative. A constant distance on an interval scale means the same thing everywhere on the scale. An extra 5 kilograms is an extra 5 kilograms, whether it's on top of 7 kilograms or 207 — but an extra point on the logarithmic Richter scale is a much larger difference for an 8.0 than for a 2.0. All interval scales all quantitative. A ratio on a ratio scale means the same thing everywhere on the scale. 2 meters is twice as far as 1 meter, but 40 degrees Celsius is not twice as hot as 20 degrees Celsius (since 0 degrees Celsius is not Absolute Zero). All ratio scales are quantitative. End quote. If I have to explain any of this any further to either of you then it will cost you £40 per hour. Now I can't be arsed continuing this so I'm plonking you in a special folder for computer technicians. -- R o o n e y |
