Because in each of the errors that you high-lighted, the intended meaning is perfectly obvious.

Nothing. Reader performance on typos is known to be good - amateur proof readers miss 70% of them even when they are asked to actively search for them, and you didn't complain about being mislead, so it was pretty clear that you hadn't had a problem.

Ah. You've paid money for such a course, and don't want to admit that you were conned.

Great advice - the same as I've been getting for nearly a decade now. It didn't get me many jobs interviews when I was 61, and they got even sparser as I got older.

Good for you.

Even if you post the occasional typo. Sorry about that but John S. has been giving me a hard time about mine.

Doing what you've been doing for a couple of decades, in the same country and for the same customers. I really shouldn't have moved to the Netherlands when I did - it was great for my wife's career, but my father was perfectly correct in predicting that it would derail mine.

In the Netherlands they stop believing in the Ph.D.when you turn 65. I'd stopped believing in it by the time I'd got mine - I'd already seen too many counter-examples by then.

It may look like a new thread to you, but on groups.google.com it is still part of the position encoding thread.

That "obviously" reflects and exemplifies your bizarre point of view, where you post nonsense and expect the test of the world to believes.

It wasn't any kind of tactical move - I was high-lighting a statement of yours which struck me as exceptionally asinine, even for you.

Not really. Pilloried was the intention.

There's hope for you yet - but not much.

Trust Jim to make a silly demand for evidence that couldn't possibly decide the argument.

Jim is - as ever - utterly out of touch with reality.

I don't need to. Whenever I feel low, I can console myself with the thought that at least I'm not Jim Thompson, and I immdediately feel much more cheerful. So far I haven't felt low enough to contemplate suicide, but I imagine that I could fight off such a thought by contemplating the satisfaction that Jim Thompson would feel when hearing it reported

You are being a trifle disingenuous. I don't like the Nazi's at all - and I've said so often enough in this group that you really ought to have noticed. Even if you have missed every explicit disavowal, you should have noticed that our collection of right-wing nitwits abuse me as a socialist and a leftist, which should have clued you into the fact Goebbels isn't gong to be one of my heroes.

Fat chance. You've said something singularly stupid and offensive, and I'm going to make very sure that you understand exactly how stupid and offensive it was. Putting in some effort to get you to think before you post may be a bit quixotic, but if it works it may make you a marginally better person, and this user group are marginally more benign environment.

He wants us to think that some adaption is necessary ..

Maybe he too thinks that you have just posted something exceptionally stupid and offensive.

The "K" misuse was just from cutting and pasting from LTSpice.

The sentence "R4 was set at 4700.1K to break that symmetry so that the circuit would start up" would better have been written as "R4 was set at 4700.1K * in the LTSpice model * to break that symmetry of the model so that the LTSpice simulation would start up. If you don't do something like that you have to wait until rounding errors break the symmetry and that can take ages.

In real life the resistors will never be identical, and thermal noise would solve the problem if they were.

People are actually pretty good at inferring what a typo was intended to mean. Amateur proof-readers typically only catch 30% of the errors in a document even when they have been explicitly asked to proof-read it. I do re-read my posts before actually sending them, but I do seem to miss 70% of the typos ...

About 1975. We weren't contemplating designing our own chip. We did end up putting discrete transistors together in an emitter-coupled multivibrator to get a remarkably stable pulse width, but it wasn't stable enough. Our hypothesis at the time was that we were getting messed about by the temperature coefficient of the Early Effect. I did do some poking around in the literature to see if I could find chapter and verse, but I was doing it in my spare time and it involved taking the train down to London and spending most of Saturday in the Imperial College technical library, so I didn't do much.

Really? My hypothesis is that you hadn't thought about parallel capacitance at all. You'd also left the series resistance of the inductor at zero, which is not only unrealistic, but also lowers your circuit's power consumption.

I can't imagine anybody who made practical use of inductors making either mistake - I very rarely use wound components, but those two points came to mind immediately when I first saw your circuit.

ons,

It worked for you and James Arthur back in 2008, so I'd got it right back then.

Of course I'd screwed up, cutting and pasting from Wordpad rather than Notepad, as I've already pointed out.

Your cognitive defects lead you to misunderstand - as nonsense - stuff that I post that other people see as perfectly reasonable. I don't accept your "corrections" when the errors involved are in your perceptions, rather than in the text that I posted.

So now we move on to the racist epithets?

It didn't make the post any more intelligible, so it was a waste of bandwidth. If it had said something germane the snip would have been text-chopping, but it was just a snide aside.

It woudl take a completely besotted ey to see any beauty in that user- interface.

Certainy not messy? Or certainly not at all? Certainly not for me - I've not seen any evidence that you have any competence in that area.

Bill,

cut this endless bickering and talk about electronics.

Better yet, buy a few parts, measure something, report on it here.

You'll feel better.

Excellent. Say something useful or interesting about electronics.

Frequently.

Usually condescendingly.
