Parts values on schematic question

Sure, I mostly use 1%, as the price does not much differ from 5%. This way I keep the number of different unit in stock smaller. If tolerance is critical for the function it get specified in the schematic. Part names in my data base have the format "R.4k7.1%.0603".

If you go to Bavaria/Germany and order "a half" you would get half a liter, about one pint.

They also decided to drive on the wrong side of the road. ;-)

I tried that once. The waitress just said "I'll come back when you';re thirsty" :)

Bavarian beer is mostly water.

All beer is mostly water.

But some is even tasty and contains some alcohol.

Wrong.

What does R.4k7 mean? Is that a 1% resistor? What would 0.1% look like?

Things keep getting goofier. Next think you see might be people making up goofy reference designators like "IC3" and "TR5" and "VR4" and "RN12" .

Sam Adams' beer is pretty good.

Chimay Gold is pretty good. It has bubbles that go both up and down in the glass... blessed by God himself. Drink a glass, get a buzz. Drink a bottle, get a good buzz. Drink a few, forget what happens after that... :-)

Nice try.

humans are mostly water.

Beer is definitely mostly water.

Take a math course, increase your proCLIVEty to at least get close to being right.

Sure.

Bill is a funny person. As many have pointed out he doesn't come here to learn or even to discuss technology. He only comes to debate loving the drama. When he fails in his arguements, he resorts to ad hominem attacks which are incredibly lame.

All because he picked the first link he came to which was wrong. The danger of the Internet. You actually have to read and be able to think critically to use it.

te:

ed a different convention.

of math and engineering! Yer screwin' up the whole world.

articularly dumb calligraphic hack of using a period rather than a comma as the radix character.

ecimal point, although the comma is used in the Francophone area of Canada as well. Countries closer to Central America, such as Mexico and the Caribb ean Islands, also use the decimal point."

to them, use the same system as the rest of the Anglophone countries. There fore, the decimal separator they use is a point."

e countries like Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Cameroon use the decimal comma . Others such as Botswana, Kenya, and Nigeria, use decimal points."

Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, The Philippines, etc."

ve happen in England, and ended up being exported to all the place you list as publishing convention.

rs exported the convention with equal enthusiasm to their own smaller but more numerous empires. Francophone Canada is a clear indicator of the way i t happened.

None of which is relevant to the matter at hand, where the convention is us ed. No one but you is discussing the history, just the usage where you wer e wrong in only reading the first link in Google.

Bottom line is the world is split roughly 50/50 in usage of the period and not... whether or not you are good with that. It's a fact. So why not jus t admit that you are wrong and get past this?

And everyone knows it's so except Bill himself.
