It may have been the subject that you wanted to post your nonsensical opinions about, but I have my own preoccupations.

Apparently he once mentioned that he would have preferred to have his name attached to a a device that did something useful.

Certainly the drug of the masses, today.

That's for manic-depression. One of my cousins did his Ph.D. on the subject, back in the 1960's, and one of my close friends doesn't take lithium, because he hates being deprived of the manic episodes. He's very productive when he is manic, and one of his patents made him a lot of money. I don't do manic.

I usually do, though it stretches my powers of dissimulation

Slowman is decades out of touch. He thinks you have to use CLB registers as the memory elements.

I'm manic depressive, luckily manic about 95% of the time. The other

Low-dose lithium seems to have interesting effects. We're talking a few mg per day, not hundreds. Look it up. I might try it just to see what happens.

You're missing the point. If you were actually smart, you'd use your intelligence to alter your personality, which includes reducing depression, and actually doing some electronics.

But you're not that smart.

Well your global warming beliefs are well know here, but you wanted refute something Jamie said, and you clearly failed in that. Maybe lack of oxygen... I have read it makes people do strange things. If oxygen is lighter it would rise up to the northern hemisphere, and if it is heavier it would fall away from down under. Case one would explain aboriginals and some posters, and case 2 the same. So it must be true. In QM there is however a probability there is oxygen tunnelling everywhere, and that little bit is what makes you post your ideas.

I'm not a fan of apple pie. I make good banana cream and peach-blueberry, or peach-blackberry when the berries are in season. I think my favorite is pecan pie, which Mo makes for me when I'm on good behavior.

Hmmm, I haven't had a chocolate pudding pie since I was a kid. I should revisit that.

Josephson junction arrays are the most precise voltage references available, That's quite useful I suppose...

Labs and machine shops are rare in engineering schools these days; everything is done on laptop screens.

I toured the Cornell EE department and counted screens. I saw about 45 computer screens and three oscilloscope screens.

It's funny how many new grads are afraid of electricity. They won't touch an FPGA to see if it's getting warm... they are afraid of being shocked.

John

Rescind what you want. It could not of been much? I never noticed anything worth writing home, about.

Jamie

That's not all he doesn't use.

He most likely did use the spell. It's more of case where he didn't believe what it was telling him, so he hit the ignore to a valid error, like he does in most everything else he blathers on about.

How about being a "Jerk" 35% of the time? Did you figure that in ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

Must be all them MegaHurts inside the FPGA?

Grant.

Since you are a total retard, we are not telling anyone anything new.

Your retarded remark about QM proves without doubt that you are about as stupid as a person whom actually went to school can get.

Wrong. Read it again, you dopey, gloss over everything putz!

I specifically stated a dual arm head. That allows EITHER direction of travel (which I also mentioned), and I specifically mentioned suspending the head for low rpm utilization.

It would certainly work, and even though it would not have the bit density of a closely suspended air cushion head, it would have a higher resolution than anything discussed thus far.

(snip, I wrote)

I don't suppose anyone remembers hard-sector floppy disks. There is one index hole per sector, plus one as a track index. Since the speed has to be within some range, you know when the track index comes by, as it is too soon after a sector index.

In the most general case that wouldn't work, but if the expected rotation rate was reasonably constant it should be possible.

With three sensors on one track, you could detect a missing pulse in one sensor, while the others kept the count going.

Reading a more complicated code off one track, while also keeping count, would be somewhat harder, and require more sensors that should be carefully aligned. Still, it might work.
