NEVER BUY MAXIM

You cannot make everything with And logic but you can make everything with NAnd logic.

Ant logic is a special case.

Makes no sense, should be highendtechnologic.com

I read an interview with their president who bragged about using nonstandard pinouts so customers wouldn't have second sources.

We generally use parts with the DG408 pinout, or 4051. There are lots of variants available.

Analog Devices and Fairchild have some good niche parts, like ADG604 and FSA3157, sometimes sold as digital bus switches. They are more reliable sources than Maxim. The TS3USB (usb bus switch) parts are dirt cheap and very fast and make great analog mux's.

One annoyance is that even parts that have outrageous signal path bandwidths still switch slow.

That tends to have a lot of bugs.

What Russia does is for the Russian people alone to decide - same as how every other country *should* be.

Oh, what a pity. And this being an English language group, too. ;->

Total and absolute bullshit.

Do you think the russian people wanted Putin and his henchmen to invade the Ukraine?

They don't decide, nor do they know what their government does. When the TV news studio in Moscow was raided by troops they didn't know enough to mind.

I think there were mainly three types of people who voted "leave" in the referendum.

There were those that had thought deeply about the situation, understood the UK's relationship to the EU, understood the costs and the benefits, and made a rational decision based on that to vote "leave".

There were those that understood the UK is best served from being part of the EU, but where are dissatisfied with a lot of the details. They wanted a scare - they wanted to say "we want to stay in the EU, but change the relationship somewhat". They wanted a result similar to that of the Scottish "leave the UK" referendum - that the "stay" side would win, but only by a very small minority.

There were those that did not really understand anything much, but were unhappy with their lives, and readily accepted the story that someone else is to blame.

It is quite telling that the day after the result was announced, there was an official petition registered calling for a new referendum. It was organised by people who had voted "leave", but didn't really want to leave - people in the second group above. There were /millions/ registered in the petition, despite knowing it would be ignored.

I hope those groups are all a lot wiser now. A new referendum could be taken, now that people are a lot more aware of the real consequences. I'd ask people to choose one of four points:

1. Leave on the date planned, even if it is "no deal".
2. Leave on the date planned, but only with the May deal.
3. Ask for a 2 year delay to get things sorted and get a better deal, with another referendum once that new deal is on the table.
4. Cancel the whole thing.

Average the score, round to the nearest integer.

One needn't be "a constitutionalist" to have an objection to a boondoggle. All US federal taxation, both direct taxes and indirect ones, contribute to programs like ACA (the short name of the legislation you mention).

A billion here, a billion there... pretty soon, it adds up to real money. The issue is cost and effectiveness, name-calling is just... silly. But, do wall-support advocates have any group name I can refer to?

Politics is so much more colorful when one can cite mugwumps versus free-staters and born-agains. How about walleyes?

Quite a few people like reliable news sources. It takes seriously gullibility to let anybody put up with The Daily Mail and Russia Today.

They do give Cursitor Doom the frankly incredible nonsense he craves, but he seems to think that his dangerous addiction should be the norm, rather than a despicable personal weakness.

OK,, then I'll rephrase it: it's none of *our* business how the Russians run their country.

Tom Del Rosso thinks that he is grown up.

One has to wonder what kind of deal Obama might have made with a Russian tennis-player, and how it might have been treasonable.

Dmitry Medvedev was more highly placed

Indicating a willingness to negotiate isn't usually regarded as any kind of indicator of a willingness to betray one's country, but Tom Del Rosso allows his childish anxieties to overwhelm any rational appreciation he might have of what might be going on.

How superior of you to call for a new referendum.

Sadly, the Russian people are frequently as ill-informed as Cursitor Doom. He has to concentrate on Russia Today to remain as ill-informed as he is, while the Russian population has poorer access to more reliable news sources.

This has been known for ages (>5 years). So...why does it seem that enough idiots buy their junk to keep them afloat?

No, just a lying opportunist (i.e. leftist).

Mere bag of shells. NO, it's not silly at all. It works where it exists. Walls work all around the world.

Then leftists come and act like spoiled stupid children, ruining any fun (the economy, life, liberty,...)

Right here

Idiot.

When a country is being run by a bunch of psychopathic lunatics, it gets to be "our business" a little too frequently.

Quite why Cursitor Doom is blind to this obvious consequence is fairly obvious - Russia Today isn't going to tell him about it - but it still requires a formidable set of blinkers to stay that ignorant.
