Silly resistor values

[Joerg]

You don't _need_ the RAW files... just the display or print thereof.

Yabbut: I did a lengthy sim yesterday, took about an hour. Discovered a
"fuzz" that could later lead to EMI issues. So I was wondering, who
dunnit? Probed and scaled this, that and the other thing, many
additional nodes, and so forth. Then ... tada! I would have had to run
the whole sim again if I didn't have the (humongous) RAW file.

Nope. Our primary customer.

Interesting. What kind of electronics do they use during football games,
other than the bilboards and score boards?

Primarily sidelines (and press box) communications between coaches.
Essentially sophisticated wired and wireless intercom equipment.

RF stuff? Nice! I deal with that mostly from an enduser POV. Wireless
comms at church and such, mostly Sennheiser.

We buy the 2.4GHz FHSS module[*] but do all the other stuff, including
manufacturing, in house. We are branching out into the high-end
production (TV and theater) intercom arena too, but the company's
roots are in football sidelines communications. The other stuff is
something to do from October to June. ;-)

[*] RF looks like a wireless router: wouldn't work in your house. ;-)

Yabbut yourself ;-) You _don't_ need the RAW (or DAT file in the case
of PSpice) on your remote desktop machine to do any additional
probing... at least _not_ with PSpice. Your remote desktop machine is
nothing more than a viewer.

I love to cook with wine Sometimes I even put it in the food

 

[Jim Thompson]

Well, actually I am going to have to figure exactly that one out for a
(more architectural) design review on Monday. If it doesn't work then
I'll just run the sim on the laptop over night, put it into hibernate
and carry it to the client.

Remote desktop, the laptop is simply a "terminal", but I will carry a
simulator on it, in case of network loss. If it's just something to
take along for show-and-tell, just load the DAT/RAW file from you
network before you leave.

I just ran the sim at my office (those Durabooks are remarkarbly zippy),
hit hibernate, went to the client, pressed the power button. Worked
great. Except that they didn't have a projector :-(

Several years ago I kept running into that... client had no projector.
So I bought the little ViewSonic... works great! I've used it twice
:-(

Well, yeah, that's what I wanted to avoid, having a another box sitting
around and only using it once in a blue moon. So I fired up the laptop
and sketched the essentual things onto the white board. Much more
important than schlepping a projector: Bring dry-erase markers. All but
one were dried out, only the red one really worked.

But it was deductable, once.

Yep. The only good part of "recent" tax law was raising the $ limit
on equipment that could be deducted 100% the first year, rather than
having to go thru all that depreciation crap.

"Democrat", "Liberal" and "Leftist Weenie" are simply politically
correct forms of the noun "Wuss", sometimes can also mean "Fairy"

I do whiteboard sketches, photograph them, and include the images in

In the '60's I had a patent attorney who visited with his Polaroid
camera and a sound recorder.

I would explain everything at the white board. The attorney recorded
everything I said, as well as his questions, and snap-shot away at the
white board as appropriate.

His write-ups required the fewest edits, and only one was questioned
by a patent examiner. (That was the one I told the patent examiner he
was too stupid to understand it... so he allowed it ;-)

In this place a camera would have been very frowned upon

In our IPL conference room they had a white board that was essentially
a huge scanner. Push the button and it made an 8-1/2x11" copy. We
used it all the time for brain storming sessions.

His write-ups required the fewest edits, and only one was questioned
by a patent examiner. (That was the one I told the patent examiner he

I've had some real good ones and a few that were dumber than a box.
One just took what I'd written and billed us for it. Oh, well.

As genius as those things were, they either wore out/broke or you
lost all the parts the first time you had to move it.

Dunno, we had it for years (sure it's still there) and it seemed to
work fine. IPL had the money to fix it, I suppose. ;-)

Always Wrong!

As usual. PDF is a vector format that can include bitmaps. Except under
fairly rare circumstances, every pixel is *NOT* defined and stored.

 

[Bob Larter]

Yes, John, you usually are just that. In this instance absolutely so.

When you print ANY pdf, the print job is a fully rendered bit map type
print job. No fonts are passed, no fonts are referenced. The entire print
job is a bit mapped graphic, and when you view it, it is as well.

That is why it supports zooming up to 4500%. Not that an idiot like
you could ever figure out that continued zooming on non-bit mapped
renderings results in jpeg jaggies.

You have that exactly backwards.

 

[FatBytestard]

As usual. PDF is a vector format that can include bitmaps. Except under
fairly rare circumstances, every pixel is *NOT* defined and stored.

AGAIN, you fucking retards! The PRINT JOB is a bit map array. Every
pixel. Every case. Especially when and if zoomed.

 

[Bob Larter]

You're a dope! FLAC is NOT a compression scheme. It digitizes without
ANY compression. That was the whole attraction for FLAC among the audio
nuts.

It's a lossless compression system, you moron:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC>
"Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format for lossless audio
data compression. During compression, FLAC does not lose quality from
the audio stream, as lossy compression formats such as MP3, AAC, and
Vorbis do."
