Re: Flexibility of hours for EEs

A laptop with loaded software is as many times more sophisticated then the 747 as the total number of laptops higher then the total number of 747s.

What a shame. Your pompous, non-productive ass should be fired.

What do you know, old fool.

Has anybody ever taken the time to teach you how to snip?

Would you care to try that again in English?

Now there's your problem....

A good engineer will use whatever technology gets the job done "best."

You apparently do your work according to what looks best to those around you.

What an id10t. Do you have ANY idea how much computer controlled electronics is used on modern aircraft?

Obviously, he knows enough to spot a "Pompous, non-productive ass" like you. Considering that you've never met face to face, that is quite an accomplishment.

I see you also discriminate on the basis of age. You really should be more careful.

You can't teach a troll anything. Next, he'll be claiming that you're stalking him.

Absurd. Windows isn't sophisticated, it's just huge, clumsy, buggy, unpredictable, and bloated. The ADA-based software that runs in an jet-engine control computer is sophisticated. It's developed using a certified-correct compiler, exhaustively reviewed and simulated (sometimes using my VME gear) and, to my knowledge, has never killed anyone.

The flyback we have in mind is not going to be trivial. But when it's done, it will be, or at least look, simple. Trivial simple.

The first flyback I know of was used in a WWII sniperscope IR converter. It furnished about -1500 volts and would run for several weeks on one D cell.

John

You just gave a good lesson. Thank you.

The Tesla transformer was invented about 100 years before that. Although I doubt the availability of D cells and especially IR sniperscopes at the times of WWII.

Unfortunately, there are objective reasons for the things to be that way. Nobody does bad job on purpose. If it would be possible to make it nice and straightforward, somebody would certainly do that. Also, it depends on the proficiency of the user working with Windows.

This is a different story. A relatively small device which probably took at least 2-3 years to develop and it is going to be in production for another 10-15 years. Yes, it can be polished to perfection. But do you remember what was Windows 10 years ago?

VLV

Far more than you ever will... basturd (and that's NOT misspelled ;-)

Yeah - the same guy who taught you to bottom-post.

Just one question:

Assume some people are as great engineers as they are trying to tell us. If Windows is so awfull bad, then why didn't they suggest anything better? That doesn't seem very logical.

VLV

Have you ever heard of Apple Computer? Linux? Etc...........
