Super duper hype fast FET driver?

I don't know why you reckon your use of TinyLogic is secret, given you've talked about them here more than once before? Do you use the Schmidt trigger versions, or normal inverters? 6.5V is a little more than Vmax, but that's never been known to stop you before :).

Clifford Heath.

I recall that was in response to a big discussion I triggered here when I mentioned Tom McEwan's patents. He used various tricks, including inductive peaking to drive the gate to what should have been twice Vgs(max), saved by the source lead inductance.

Would that be the biblical teaching in favor of genocide, or witch-burning?

What you think is Christian is predominantly the interpretation and ideology of your chosen cultural group, with some ideas drawn from another stone-age group; neither of which is informed by rational inquiry or material realities.

No, I'm not just bashing on religion from the outside. I've been there too, got the t-shirt. I have no problem with people trusting G*d... but to do that they must first trust themselves and other humans, and that's where the whole edifice fails.

Far from true. There's a continuous interpretive and theological tradition that goes back to the apostolic period. The Church is the mother of science and the inventor of the university.

Far from it. Properly, the Church is organized so that no one is without supervision, precisely because all of us, ministers and laity and religious and all, are fallen human beings who sin every day despite our best efforts.

It sounds like you had some bad experience, either through someone else's sin, or through yours (or maybe both), and I'm sorry about that. But unforgiveness like that will eat you alive, whether you return to the church or not.

Goodness and faithfulness are difficult, and are made even more difficult if one doesn't have the help of the Holy Spirit.

Whhooooosh. So far over your head, you've got no idea there's even a place where such ideas could exist. BTDT.

BTW, I have nothing against any individual, and respect you and Joerg more highly than almost anyone else here. Just don't get the impression that means I think you're right :). I merely believe Jeremiah, that "The human heart is more deceitful than all else". It's incredibly difficult to clearly see and understand the things we can see or interact with physically, and impossible for things we can't - about those we can only have opinions. And luckily, that doesn't even matter much, and certainly doesn't impede our ability to lead an ethical and productive life.

Wonder if J Narcissist Larkin realizes I designed most of OnSemi's TinyLogic series ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

No need for 3x or 5x here. I have a 200MHz BW scope with 1GSPS realtime, cost me about $1800 including tax. If things get any faster then I can usually make them repetitive, at least on a temporary basis, and fire up the old HP. That only has a 40MHz converter but a very good one and its BW is 1GHz.

Like this :-)

I am not a gigital guy but AFAIK there aren't too many other uCs that you can clock at 100MHz.

Well yeah, but sometimes if you want more and more features it gets more expensive and then da boss says no. I'd rather have a simpler scope than no scope at all. Some of the newer baseline models have a feature or an option for purchase that adds 4-16 digital inputs for logic analysis. I never felt the urge since I have a logic analyzer. That has a trigger output for the scope but I haven't needed that in years.

And the li'l green line on the screen only shows up if a PLA is in place. Oh, and you can't sell the old scope if cash-strapped. No, you must sell the newest one first because of the seniority rule, performance or usefulness if no interest :-)

Knowledge of God is primarily knowledge by acquaintance, like your knowledge of your mom. God wants everyone to know Him like that--it's a love relationship with a real Person, not a set of propositions, and it's available to you just as much as to me or anyone else. God is beautiful beyond all earthly beauty.

Christianity considered as a philosophical system is entirely consistent with honestly conducted science, and in fact theism avoids some inherent contradictions in the mechanistic world view.(*) Thomas Aquinas insisted that there is only one kind of truth, i.e. all true statements hold up to honest inquiry from any angle whatever. Emphasis on "honest".

Silly Christians certainly exist--the 144-hour creation folks for instance--and so do scientists who use their prestige in their own fields to make pronunciamentos in areas far from their expertise. But the latter isn't science, and the former isn't Christianity, and both are destructive.

The way unforgiveness eats people up isn't theology, though, it's a matter of common observation.

(*) For anyone who's interested, I have a couple of blog posts about the details of these and related arguments:

"If Nature Has Laws, How Can God Do Anything?"

"Does Science Disprove Religion?"

What a content-free, narcissistic thing to say, boasting without content.

I wonder if he actually remembers anything about them.

I couldn't have said it any better than Phil. Just want to add that we Christians try to follow Jesus' teachings, not witch burning or Old Testament eye-for-eye type punishment. Unfortunately even the Christian (Catholic) church did not follow Jesus in medieval times which is why Mrtin Luther had to start reforming the church.

Amen.

Keep on dreaming. Over here in NL and in Belgium there is a big scandal going on concerning pedophiles in the church. There are dozens of victims!

And its not limited to NL and Belgium:

Right now its dinner time over here but I suddenly lost my appetite!

We use an NXP ARM LPC1754, and it can clock at 100 MHz. Since it's a register-rich 32-bit RISC thing, it really screams. We buy them programmed with our code and laser marked from Arrow for $4.75 each.

We're also using LPC3250s, which clock at 270 MHz or some such, around $8.

I wish the neighbours would think the same :-) They are on holiday and from the smell it seems their kids smoke a kilo of pot each day.

I believe that labeling things as a sin usually ends up making the wrong choices by not considering the circumstances. One of my former teachers (a former priest) had an interesting example. One of his parishioners had been living with his sister all his life. He was afraid that he would not go to heaven because of that. My former teacher told him that this sin would be forgiven because its not THAT serious. His motivation was simple: true love between two adults can never be wrong.

The real problem is ofcourse that the ofspring from a brother and sister is prone to genetic defects. Much practical knowledge from ancient times has been embedded as rules in religion. Like the Moslims not eating pork and demand animals to be killed without being sedated. Very few seem to wonder whether these rules still have value in a modern society where food hygiene is way better.

The problem is that the bible never got updated. Remember that in the old days most people didn't get much older than 35. Most died quickly of diseases, wars or hard work. At old age your body slowly shuts down organ by organ. Some organ failures like the kidneys cause a very slow death (I'm talking months here!).

I'm sure the people who set the legal limit looked at all the facts (and images) and made a well informed decision.

I'd certainly have had to be asleep to miss it, especially since it came out in 2002 in the US. Nor is it limited to the Church--schoolteachers, for instance, have a far worse record, at least over here.

As a Dutchman, if you really want something to turn your stomach, try investigating the origins of all those trafficked slave women in the red light district of Amsterdam. IIRC about 4 out of 5 were trafficked from Russia and eastern Europe, and they suffer rape and worse, continually, until they're too sick or too worn out to be worth anything any more. So much for enlightened secularism.

However, people are quite right to hold the Church to a higher standard, and whatever others may do, there's no excuse whatever for victimizing children, nor for covering up for those who have done so.

That's really the point--it's the corruption of the fallen human heart that is the disease that Christ gave His life to cure, one heart at a time. The world is so desperately corrupt that God had to come and die to redeem it.

The Good News is that He has come, and we can be cleansed and forgiven, and have eternal life as His free gift. All we have to do is open our hands and accept it. But of course that requires putting down some of the other things we're holding.

Yeah, so now the arguments run out and you try to find a hair in the soup. Sure there are sinful people in a church. If anyone in a church claims to be without sin, run, because he or she is lying.

you can even get the lpc1759 that will run at 120MHz, but it has 4x the memory so it will cost a bit more

it is impressive how much processing power you can get in a single chip that really only need a 3.3V supply and sometimes an xtal

they need external memory that gets a bit more complicated ;)

Well, if you want to see unhappy women you should go to the red-light district. However, your information is a bit outdated. Many laws and regulations have been put in effect to minimize the possibility of human trafficking and enslavement. It is very difficult to get a permit to open a sex-club (aka massage salon). Even the well known Yab-Yum has been closed down by the local authorities because there where rumours the owners had ties with the criminal circuit.

I'm just proving that Phil's statement is false. There is no argueing about that. There is wrong everywhere but the way the church tries to cover things up is beyond sickening.
