I can hardly wait until Kilty adds some S/N ratio stats.

Could someone please tell me what the S/N ratio is? I'm apparantly too slow to figure it out on my own

Post by **Darb** » Thu Oct 28, 2004 6:50 pm

"Signal to Noise Ratio" is actually a technical term relating to Radio/TV broadcasting (or rather, reception). In this context however (forum posting), it's a backhanded allegorical poke-in-the-ribs reference to someone's posting habits being substantial (meaty with regards to content) rather than fluffy (idle chatter).

A simple S/N type statistic might, for instance, involve average word count per post.

I doubt kilty will actually add something like that ... I was just teasing by suggesting it.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks Brad

Actually average word count per post would be kinda fun to see.

Then mine would be about twelve (or less)

I was wondering why my ribs hurt! BRAD!!!

What if you're both verbose AND fluffy?

Then you're probably toy shitzu or a yorkshire terrier.

C = W log2[1+S/N]

ChoChiyo · Post by **ChoChiyo** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 6:42 am

Math!!???

Run away! Run away!

Post by **Kvetch** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 7:06 am

it describes the amount of information transmittable given a certain bandwidth W and signal to noise ration S/N

also;

I = -p log2[p] (I think)

XYX to the second power divided by Q plus pr squared, going 45 miles per hour on a train headed south.

Is it Reading Railroad or BandR Railroad?

Post by **Kvetch** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 7:19 am

don't know about you, but I always use railways (

)

steam or diesel?

(oops, this isn't a game thread. please ignore)

/and I hit back with the axeomic reciprocal of x

Post by **Darb** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 1:40 pm

OOOOF ... low blow !

p.s. I believe it's spelled axiomatic.

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Fri Oct 29, 2004 1:55 pm

Ooo! Math!

Have you ever played around with graphics calculators? They are soooooo fun! My personal favourite graph was something like:

y= sin tan 2^x^2.

It was the mentalist graph I had ever seen.

Post by **Kvetch** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 1:57 pm

it was meant to be a pun upon 'axes' and 'axiom', since the asympyotes lie upon the axes. I supose it didn't work too well.
