Re:Bad math
Posted by: Anonymous Coward on August 29, 2003 04:21 PMLOGIC:
MODEL ONE:
This assumes that we use incremental time frames based PURELY on hardware:
6 year period, taken as minimum time for fair eval;
Saving = 33%;
Consider 7 years:
You begin, by buying machines,
thus,
inception = $WIN && $LIN;
Year 3 = $WIN++;<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/* THIS MEANS THAT EXPENSE = 2*$ */
Year 4 = $LIN++;
Year 5 = $WIN ++;
year 7 = $WIN++;
year 7 = $LIN++;
THUS:
$WIN = ????
= 4;
$LIN = ????
= 3;
THUS
Savings = 25%;
---> This seems like an obvious route, savings in Hardware is real, but will eventually become insignificant.
BUT: Savings in the next 1o years will be significant.
MODEL 2:
The McNutt Logic:
2year period:
$WIN = 2;
$LIN = 1;
THUS
Savings = 50%;
Therefore CORRECT.
End Note:
PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
GET AN ADULT TO SUPERVISE UNDISCIPLINED THINKING!
Honesty and Logical Consistancy,
These are the Powers we wield,
if you corrupt them, all will be lost.
No Law. No Future.
Up the Penguin!
