What is the color code for a -10 ohm resistor

Did you know that the fastest way to get pulled over by the police is to spin donuts?

Thats because there is no cop on earth who isn't looking for donuts! :)

Ladies and Gentlemen and Children of all ages:

The call of the ringmaster at the beginning of any Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus. Now gone from the American scene.

if nothing else, there are aspects of the circus displayed herein.

You don't get out much, do you?

Do I need to repeat myself? There are few ladies, no gentlemen of leisure, and no children in the audience. Please address the audience in a proper manner.

May 21 was their last show. Yeah, I miss the animal cruelty acts.

Such as? A circus is expected to be entertaining, which this discussion seems to lack.

Quite the contrary. My customers are complaining that I'm never in my office. If anything, I'm out most of the time.

Now, back to something resembling electronics... what makes you claim that connecting 2 resistors in parallel somehow produces negative resistance?

Jeff:

You need a humor transplant. Either that, or your sense of humor is more se ared than arid.

Two resistors in parallel deliver resistance less than either. Last I looke d, resistors 'produce' little - other than perhaps a bit of inductance if a wire-wound device. Given the level of education with the OP, that is as cl ose to negative resistance as he will be likely to achieve or understand.

Animal Cruelty Acts. Yes, certainly. The circus, along with dwarf-throwing, bear baiting, dove-shoots, buffalo hunts and much, much more represent cru el times in American History. However, today that cruelty has been largely been confined to human-on-human, and most of us are dead quiet about all th at. Cute, fuzzy little animals, noble lions, tigers, elephants and whales a re very safe causes with few objecting to them - but for certain "japs" and other "slopes", or little brown "gooks" somewhere or other. But not our ne ighbors, friends and allies. Gotta look at them with half-closed eyes (Dute rte, Putin, Li, Salman), but that's all right. As long as the goods, oil, c heap wood and other 'stuff' keeps coming.

But we all sit back and cry crocodile tears about very real and very preven table human tragedies and do nothing or much worse. All for the sake of com fort. As a country and a culture, we are going through troubled times. We a re about to lose, if it is not lost already, our primacy as a moral compass for the world, and we are about to cede that position to China of all poss ibilities. Does that not scare the living s*it out of you?

While negative resistance does not exist, you have proven that it is possible to have a negative sense of humor. That's negative ten on the humor scale, or ten points below ZERO sense of humor!

Negative resistance does exist.

Negative resistors do not exist.

Peter, we're living in a more enlightened society these days, and while dwarf might be technically accurate, I believe the correct description is "vertically retarded".

Thank you...

Well, I've lived long enough for you to say "s*it" on an NG. Bravo my friend, bravo...

Giving this more thought, do you think our friend Jeffrey A is having a negative influence on us?

I have met Jeff on his turf (Ranger, TX). Best described as a curmudgeon th at does not suffer fools gladly - and one who has lived enough of life to h ave earned the privilege of writing what he means - and meaning what he wri tes. I was in Texas on business, I had a free evening. It was only 94 miles from where I was to Ranger. In Texas, that is errand distance.

Me using the S word was chosen for shock-value, true. We are well-and-truly in dire straits - and without intervention from more enlightened minds, th e United States will be seriously degraded, more so than now, certainly. We are averaging over two serious incidents per month, now. And the perpetrat ors somehow feel entitled to commit them. Worse, their behavior is defended all-to-often. When the swamp overflows in the Nation's Capitol, all the sl ime in the hinterlands feels entitled to come out and play.

Then there is the story of Atwater Kent putting a help-wanted ad in in the local papers in Philadelphia:

Wanted: Midgets as Coil Winders. Male and Female. Apply in person at Atwater Kent, 6240 Wissahickon Avenue, Philadelphia 44. No Dwarves need apply.

Touche

Not hardly, in the words of George C Scott as the Flim Flam Man, "You can't cheat an honest man, I'm here to preach that gospel."

I am surrounded by them.

Thank you Peter.

The only thing that you've proved is that I no longer have an ability to sufferer fools of any kind, in yet another newsgroup.

Must be rough looking in the mirror... I'm just sayin'

No one cares about your ignorant blather, as well.

Obviously you do or you wouldn't have replied... I'm just sayin'

Then tell us what it's like.

So today you've decided you *do* care about my ignorant blather?

lol

Nah, he's either demonstrating that he's a nobody, or that your post was not ignorant blather.
