That's a Lockheed L1049. I actually did some stuff for the L1011.
My first flight on a DC3 scared me s...less. I wasn't used to seeing glowing engine blocks :-( ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
I don't even know if we can name signals in bundles with a range, but we *can* have totally different names within a single bus. CLK, and DATA1, DATA2, DATA3,... ,DATA1001, WRITE, READ, ENABLE, +5V, GND can all be in the same bus. In fact, I'm not sure what busses accomplish other than showing up on the schematic as one line. The good side is that we don't have to use stupid naming conventions like having evens be the '+' and odds the '-' of differential signals. The sign can be part of the element name. Any signal can be part of a bus. The down side is that it doesn't matter what the bus does, everything is connected by name. It's worse than OrCAD but it's pretty bad this way, too.

I sure hope so. It's all over otherwise. I'd like to work another ten years but that's not likely to happen if Obummer has his way.
That's what people in Detroit said about 40 years ago. Later this turned to "Oh s..t!" but it was too late and their companies fell apart. We had to bail them out because of that major mistake.
The same happened to Radio/TV manufacturers, VCR manufacturers, LCD manufacturers and so on, except their companies croaked and nobody bailed them out. Some of this was clearly avoidable.
25 years ago not many had 1000 pin modules (and those of us who did, certainly split the blocks into organized parts. You already admit that you split up gates and opamps. UCs are just as important.

You have one block with hundreds of connections with random pins and power connections (capacitors shown locally). When you wire all this together into a system it *is* a rats nest. It can't be helped. Splitting the block into smaller, functional, pieces alleviates this a *lot*. The memory bus can be on a separate page with its 64 address and 64 data pins organized, in order. Few will ever have to look at it and it won't mess up the more important signals.

Good grief. Actually, I do have a problem tracking lines across a page. I'm always swapping pins. I just can't see the swap unless I already know it's there.
No wonder you still use such poor practices. You think 100 is big. I have at least ten parts on a schematic larger than that. The DSPs are >300 pins (one
500 and one >700). We also have several QFP144s. It's not *so* bad with the dinky 38pin flat-packs but it's still a mess trying to squeeze in terminations and capacitors next to the pins, since they're not pinned out logically.

Sure. That was easily predicted. Traffic tickets were an early "revenue enhancement" technique. Red-light cams make it much cheaper to collect. Rampant big-brotherism. No thanks. You can keep Californica.
That's avocados and nuts. Power's $.10/kWHr in my neck of the woods, for now anyhow, no limit. (from coal). Maybe we'll switch to solar after the Barackolypse, in which case I'll be burning wood.
I don't use much, only about $20 base, and an extra $25 or so a month in winter, the time of year my house gets and stays cold.
Japan does not have China as their money source, for obvious reasons. The companies there are doing rather well. There is a reason why so many people drive Toyotas.
I have no problems with that, and neither do any of my clients.

I brought you an example from your former employer and that is a darn good company when it comes to quality. Yet they had BGA problems galore. I could have told them.
Maybe you should take the engineer's tour through a company such as Mitsubishi. That can be an eye-popper.
There is a reason why my car from that company has not had one defect from day one, over 16 years now. Not even a dome light bulb has dared to burn out.
SA?
According to guys in Detroit their bogeyman _is_ still Japan. Well, plus South Korea now.
My car was designed and built in Nagoya. That's not in the US.
Except that the cars are built *here*. For at least the last 20 years, Detroit's problems have been production more than engineering. Detroit's real bogeyman is *UNIONS*, something neither Japan or Korea (or their US entities) has any worry about.
Consumer's Union supported Obamacare. As a result I cut off not only my subscription to Consumer Reports (the magazine) but stopped my charitable contributions to Consumer's Union. ...Jim Thompson

Ok, that was one of many examples. There are statistics the AAA runs, there's Edmunds, and on and on. It does not take much to figure which brands are at the top. And wishful thinking isn't going to help in that domain, only cold hard facts count.
I guess there is a reason why you are driving a Nissan and an Infinity.
