  1. Accountants vs Programmers on $10B Annual Tab for Spreadsheet Errors? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A programmer would be chastised for: cutting and pasting code; for not using revision control; and for obscured or hidden behaviour. Yet spreadsheet users commoly have all 3 problems.

    The problem is that spreadsheets have become increasingly complex without a corresponding adjustment to formal specification. Imagine if you were using a programming language that doesn't have formal type declarations.

    The are tools that assist businesses using visual modelling (much like scientists use) that can help detect and prevent errors in spreadsheets. Have a look at...

    XempleX or their product sheet Xemplex Product Overview.

  3. Re:What does this mean? on 3D Display a Little Bit Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    When they are refering to a 3D Display they mean a stereoscopic 3D display. So each eye sees a different view of the same image. 3D as per the graphics card terminology is only a projected 3D image on a 2D display.
