In aerodynamics, they talk of a wing's lift to drag ratio.

A few years back, I used to use the term "hassle to power ratio" to descibe what Marshall called the "power to weight ratio". These are all plays on the fundamental "signal to noise ratio" of communications engineering.

I'm migrating towards simply calling it the lift to drag ratio.

I took a brief look at XML, and decided that the lift to drag ration was not favorable for what I was trying to do. I am sure XML has it's place in the grand scheme of things, but not for what I do. Received on Fri Mar 30 2007 - 07:39:12 CEST
