information leeches from google posting

Hi

Fix my problems for me

Thanks


with a few replies from the handful of mugs which are the only ones left
here to read any of the posts.

See you guys, last one out turn off the lights.

Wots his problem and why does he want us to fix it for him?

It was meant as an example of a typical google posting.

Maybe someone who can't stand juvenile ignorant narcissists? I have seen
the same complaints on the EDN and ElecDesign message boards. They are
also full of the same foreign broken English moron crap demanding
someone send them schematic sets, manufacturing drawings etc...like that
punk-ass hotmail ( Singa-poor) vermin anant the 72-LED clock asks "...if
so do you have any pictures, and or a parts list for me."

It's a public forum... can't be helped. Why not just ignore posts you
don't like?

Or better yet, politely send him a detailed schematic of something that
can't possibly work.

Yep. I like that. Complex schematic with carefully crafted flaws ;-)

I'm told that any reasonably complex schematic with a simple short between
input and output -- circuitously such that it's not immediately obvious --
works well...

Shorts rail-to-rail are pretty good too ;-)

Also, all resistors in non-standard values make things fun...

A few tantalums turned backwards should do the trick...

Nah, can be fixed with a trimmer. Now capacitors, that's something else.

I remember those.

A customer sent me a populated PCB with which to test his chip.

I fired it up only to discover that -VEE was shorted to ground.

With my nose in it as I probed around with a DVM... KABOOM ;-)

<gang suggesting ways to harass people who request circuits>

Just make sure the transistors are degraded in normal usage... Seems like
many of the circuits one finds on the web work this way anyway, so
perhaps somebody out there has already started doing this...

He was not in a hurry, "hurry" being one human concept he had failed
to grok at all. He was sensitively aware of the key importance of
correct timing in all acts but with the Martian approach: correct
timing was accomplished by waiting. He had noticed, of course, that
his human brothers lacked his own fine discrimination of time and
often were forced to wait a little faster than a Martian would but he
did not hold their innocent awkwardness against them; he simply
learned to wait faster himself to cover their lack.

No it's not.

Switch the + and - connections on the schematic and listen to them
complain about exploding ICs. ;-)

We had a radio go through 48 hour burn in with some tantalums
reversed and they didn't fail till the unit got to final test. Others
have died as soon as the power was applied.

Usually all it takes is a few seconds at best. They even catch fire quite often.

Wanna bet money this guy will be back in
2 months or so? Heeehe!
