Constant-current LEDs?

Maybe you are imagining that.

I had a head injury and felt cognitively OK afterwards. But crazy people don't usually think that they are crazy, so it's hard to tell from inside.

The test is to design stuff with other smart people and see if you can keep up.

I hope you give some of it away. One advantage of having some wealth is that you can give it where you think it will help, rather than having politicians decide for you.

Another test to to trouble shoot mal functioning equipment.

I am giving a little of it away. Every year I fund my son's Roth IRA for him. And I fund one of my nieces Roth IRA. Trying to get her interested in investing.

Replace the zener with an LED!

There was an old gag about the SI unit of feminine beauty being the millihelen, i.e. the amount of beauty required to launch one ship.

"...the millihelen should not be used, because metric prefixes should not be mixed with troy units."

Thanks

Thats no surprise :)

I was thinking of something not quite so close to home.

I am on the East Coast and my niece is in Alaska. So not too close to home. I have never met her.

But I know what you mean and I also give to some not related to me.

A negative endorsement from Jamie is probably worth almost as much as a positive endorsement from somebody with enough brains to make the assessment.

Jamie doesn't have a firm enough grasp of reality to be AlwaysWrong, but he is definitely AlwaysStupid.

So, what is the major problem with your oscillator? You say it's not simple, so I imagine it has very low distortion and good freq stability and accuracy.What freq range does it cover? Is it just a sine wave, or other waveforms? Why is it so special?

Send an e-mail to snipped-for-privacy@ieee.org and I'll tell you, privately. The basic idea is simple enough that even John Larkin could work out how to do it, once I'd given him the idea.

Frequency range is what you'd expect from regular op amps. It's purely sine wave.

I gave up on you and your personal reality that everyone else is out of touch with. There is no reason to waste time even trying to be polite to a buffoon like you. If the whole world is 'out of touch with reality' then something is very wrong with you. That is why I kill filed you long ago and only see your whining drivel when someone else quotes you.

Interesting idea. Sadly, my personal reality is the one that most educated people are in touch. Some educated people don't want to recognise it - Jame s Arthur comes to mind - and others can't be bothered, like Jim Thompson.

I don't want you to be polite - it would nice if you were, but it's not som ething worth complaining about - but I would like you to get your facts rig hts, and not make fatuous assertions that don't have anything to with any k ind of fact.

It's not a "the whole world" that is out of touch with my pereception of r eality, it's a select group of right-wing nitwits. Jim Thompson is the most blatant example, krw is worse, but doesn't say as much, and James Arthur i s stuck with ideological blinkers that blind him to the significance of lot the reality that he is aware of.

Kill-filing people whose opinions you don't share is a fairly reliable way of staying out of touch with reality - Jim Thompson has been boasting about doing it for years.

My e-mail address is in the message header, so you can send the details to that address without me sending you anythingt. But I have another question for you concerning Graham's number. As I understand it, it's a very long number with more digits than atoms in the universe. But it's a finite number where the ending digits are known. It seems to be a number that includes all the possible conditions of the universe which means we have had this conversation before and will have it again in the future. Is it something like that?

"Bill Bowden"

doesn't look like a complete e-mail address. I have used Google to find something that looks better - it may work.

The "it" in "Is it something like that?" is ill-defined. Ill-defined terms do tend to create discussions that spiral off in a less-than useful way.

googles usenet viewer does that to email addresses, click the link (on the original).
