Shouldn't you already know, smartass?

icks,

Not by people who know what they are doing. See "legacy designs" and "legac y designers".

People who go in for "incremental development" do keep on using 555s when o ther solutions work better and come out cheaper, but when design cost is th e biggest single element in the life-time expenditure on a device, things l ike the 555 do tend to survive for a very long time.

Slowman's oscillator is still not working >:-} ...Jim Thompson

The simulations run fine.

The perfect example of jobs where you want to minimise design time, and haven't got any interest in providing the best possible solution, as opposed to one which can be relied on to work.

Particularly amongst people who can't be bothered to find anything better.

Buggy whips stopped being manufactured when there weren't any more horses to use them on. The 555 works - it's just that it isn't as cheap, as small or as efficient as the alternatives - rather like the US constitution.

"Usually" means "pretty much all the time" but "easier" is definitely subjective, essentially depending on how lazy you are and how little pride you take in your work.

Or we could have a flint-knapping competition ... the fact that you can use the 555 in lots of applications isn't a good argument for using it in most.

I think it is, SWcadIV.exe has PE moved a few bytes too, I'm not all that familiar with the headers but PE is the Signature for the portable exe just as the MZ at the begining is the Signature for DOS.

You can always run XP mode, in MS virtual Machine.

Easy there chap, your dealing with a master.

snipped retarded attempt at acting as if you know what modern designers do. You do not, SlowBoy.

One who never seems to know s*it from shinola, chap.

A circus flea like SlowBoy has him beat.

In your slightly-less-than-authoritative opinion.

I know exactly what I am talking about. Just like with the Litz wire at 3kHz reference. Whereas you haven't the first clue, googletard, SlowBoy.

Only a retarded twit would need them.

You should know that P G Wodehouse was once labelled "the performing flea" of English literature, a title that he liked so much that he published a bo ok of letters under that title.

You do seem to share my opinion of Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson, whose opinions on any subject other than integrated circuit design aren't u p to much. Sadly, the rest of your opinions aren't all that well-grounded, and you probably distrust Jim's judgement for reasons that might not stand up to critical examination.

We are all well-aware of what you think you know.

Where you think that Teachspin's earth field nuclear magnetic resonance mea suring gear is being sold to the mining industry to measure ground conducti vity.

Try to get it into your head that the earth has a magnetic field of some 30 to 60 microTesla at the surface (less at the equator, more as you get clos er to the poles) and that the proton has a resonant frequency of some 1.3kH z to 2.6kHz in that range of magnetic fields. That's what George Herold's c oil was designed to probe - in teaching laboratories.

It may have reminded you of stuff that miners use, but you were wrong. Lear n to live with the fact, rather than spraying out implausible claims in a f utile attempt to wipe the egg from your face.

??? bridged puts the virtual machine on rhe same network segment as the host machine with an individual IP addresses, you can use DHCP, autoconfiguration, or static allocation as you see fit. NAT hides it on a virtual LAN behiond the host's IP address.
