Until Starfish Prime July 62 EMP was not appreciated as being as destructive as it is. It was at 248 miles up. Ground burst and other atmospheric detonations do not create EMP.

Paul -
I know what was on the B-36 and B-52 - Radar and radio.
Tube tube and tube. I trained the F-111 designers for the first solid state plane. It had a lot of firsts - swing wing... Fast and slow.
I used to have tens of thousands of tubes. Mil spec. They would use them for 100 hours and replace them.
Bikini - used to live hundreds of miles from it - wasn't the first at all - nor was those in Japan.
The bomb was tested in the states long before anywhere else. Knowledge was gained on a number of fronts.

But theory and Science knows more than you. Much more was known long before as the bomb was known before they figured how to make one.
Mart> Mart>> I know for a fact the B36 and 52 were tube models.
What?
About 5'6". I met John at one of those trade shows in LA, and got about a half-dozen of his refrigerator magnet logo thingies. Apparently I voided the warranty when I stuck them to my file cabinet. ;-)
He's adorable, like a friendly leprechaun. :-)
His face wouldn't frighten children the way yours and mine do. ;-D
Hope This Helps! Rich
PKB, methinks.
What you should try sometime is growing up and owning up to a mistake
like a man instead of always starting a childish row to divert attention
away from the fact that you made a mistake.
JF
Yeah, it does.
Thanks! :-)

Around Christmas time, in the grocery store, little kids point at me and say, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" ;-)
And I've never seen a kid yet that I couldn't get to smile.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Which mistake are you referring to?
Do you keep a scrapbook of my mistakes? I'm flattered.

I\'m not talking about any particular mistake, I\'m talking about all the
silly little diversions and the dance you do when you\'re confronted with
the _fact_ that you made a mistake and you don\'t want to own up to it.
I usually get incredulous looks and some little kid saying: "Mommy,
look, it\'s Santa!"

You *really* need a life.
John
Certainly not I.
I\'m being sarcastically critical of _you_ by implying that, since one is
known by the company one keeps, your admitted preference for _totally_
female "peers" kind of puts you in that camp.
JF
Wait until he says, for such a short guy, I have a big... ;-)

You are really losing it. Back off, count to ten, press reset, and try to start thinking again.
I genuinely like and enormously respect women, and would rather, all other things being equal, spend time with women than with men. But I've never met a female circuit designer (lots of programmers, scientists, managers, just no real circuit designers) so I do that with guys.
So how does a preference for women friends put me "in the camp" of people who debase women?
A lot of guys really don't like women. They want them, need them, but don't like them. How do you rate in that respect? I've noticed that this group seems to pile onto any woman who dares to post here, and you tend to be part of the gang.

5'7.5". Maybe hard to estimate from your extreme elevation.

Your file cabinet has a warranty?
Kids and dogs and women seem to like me. I work at appearing innocuous, to make a neutral first impression until I size up a situation. That seems to work in most business situations.
John
By casting aspersions on males and then equating those aspersions to
what you consider to be female "characteristics", you cast aspersions on
women just for being women. Can\'t you see that?
Probably not, since the "knowledge" you say you share is, more often
than not, banal and "Hey, look at me! Ain\'t I great???"
Geez, I hope you don't use that sort of logic when you design your 555 circuits.
I prefer broccoli to brussels sprouts, ice cream to tapioca, picoseconds to milliseconds, women to men. Where are "aspersions" in any of that? If I have maligned any food products or time units, it wasn't intentional.
You didn't answer my question about if you actually like women. If you prefer men, go for it.
