Current mirror for bipolar current

If there is a switch that actually works, that is. Many switches in a Windows OS and in some SW are more like a coin toss.

It's like MS-Word and OpenOffice, both of which randomly pop from a

I did say "starting point." The next thing to do is add closed loops top and bottom. In my boxes, I also sense load current and close an outer loop on that. My biggest one so far is 150 volts, 120 amps peak output, PPM noise and accuracy.

Cute.

Firefox brings up a dialog, save or view. Maybe you don't pay attention ?:-)

Same here. However, I have a partial fix for Firefox. See:

It gives quite a bit of control over what to do with a PDF.

Also, in Firfox, make sure the default download action is to ask what to do next, not dump it in the default download dumpster folder.

Tools -> Options -> Main -> Always ask me where to dump files.

Lifetime regular membership is $1,000. However, they offer a 65+ senior discount which reduces it to $375. Since regular membership is $35/hr, if one is over 65, and plans on living past 75, then lifetime membership might be a good investment.

Sorry, "fellers", I'm not a member of NRA... I don't need to join anything to maintain my Constitutional rights.

I even dropped out of IEEE this year... got tired of feeding them money, yet having to pay more to get access to papers outside my group memberships. I'll just trot to the engineering library at ASU... now that $4 gas has killed the heavy traffic ;-)

It may for you, Jim, but for Joerg and I, it is purely random as to whether Firefu**s brings it up in a reader or saves it to the default save folder. No dialog.

Since regular membership is

That's hellish expensive, isn't it?

Jim

Got it. Thanks.

Tools/Options/Main/Downloads... Check Box: "Always ask me where to save files"

Less than what the lawyers who have to keep defending the consitution make, I guess. :-)

It's checked. Makes no difference. Sometimes it opens PDF _only_ via download, it will refuse to open them in a browser pane even if you do a rain dance or a tarantella.

As they say... reinstall... reinstall...

Mine is working perfectly, on XP.

I've got that checked. But it sometimes, maybe 5% of cases, decides to open in Acrobat and not in Firefox. That's usually when things crash since Acrobat is the SW that crashes the most here in the office, by far.

But there will come a point where you can't hold the rifle steady anymore ;-)

Aha! You need to configure Firefox to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's.

Want to try your luck? It was WV (and KY) c'untry boys who were chosen for sniper duty in 'Nam. Climb a tree with a silenced rifle and pick 'em off at 1000 yards ;-)

I don't like Adobe products. Too many crashes. Heck, I don't even like adobe brick. We have that all around the yard and it crumbles.

I am too old for that, mainly the climbing part. My basic training happened a long time ago but the first words from our drill sergeant still ring in my ears. "ATTEEEEEN ... SHUN! This ain't gonna be a cake walk. As civilians you came, as men you will leave. Do you understand?" ... "Yes, Sir." ... "I CANNOT HEAR YOU!" ... "YESSS, SAH!"

Well then, stop whining, you get the performance you pay for ;-)

By the time I was 13 I could hit a squirrel 100' away, running fast, perpendicular to the line between us, without actually sighting (22LR); and I'm pretty good with a pistol as well ;-)

Then give up on Acrobat. Switch to Foxit:

I have both Acrobat 8.1.2 and Foxit 2.3 installed. However, Foxit is the default PDF viewer. It hasn't crashed yet, but I did have to download some Chinese fonts and a JPEG viewer. It's also MUCH faster than Acrobat. I switched because of the same problem you're having. Adobe Acrobat just crashes too often.

I'm into weapons of mass destructions. Point, shoot, ka-boom, and clean up the mess. No need to carefully aim. Ballistic targetting is so passe. Advanced guidance systems, target designators, and gyro stabilized platforms are for me.

I'm running Firefox v2.00.16 and Acrobat Pro v7.1.0, on XP, with nary a crash. (I vaguely remember some choke-up issue with Firefox itself some months ago... but that went away with a Firefox update.)
