90% of U.S. IP Output Comes From Just 6 Cities Representing

A study on intellectual property was published a couple years ago.
You'll find similar results in other western countries.

The top 4 cities are in the 3 bluest of the blue states. No need to
even mention names because everyone on the planet knows the 4 cities.

Even Austin is by far the most liberal place in Texas.

At one time rightards may have had some value to the economy but they
are as worthless as Al Gore in a dust devil in the info age.

That's why they are all acting bat crap crazy and dog poop stoopid.

Let's try this experiment: the urban engineers and scientists and
journalists and lawyers go on strike, and the rural farmers and truck
drivers and refinery operators and utility people go on strike. See

American arrogance at its finest - or worst. I'm a non-American,
fairly knowledgeable about the world outside my own country. I
could hazard a guess as to which 4 US cities you mean, but I sure

I'm an EE, and I mostly like to design electronics. But I spent a
bunch of last week working on the firmware of this:

http://www.highlandtechnology.com/DSS/T564DS.html

which uses an MC68332 programmed in assembly, just under 7000 lines of
code so far. I added the "frame looping" feature for a customer. That
allows them to load a list of delay/width settings that are loaded
into the gadget after every trigger, and loop N times through the
list. This should have been done in hardware, in the FPGA, but we did
a software implementation for now, and I'm grubbing around for every
microsecond in the ISR that reloads the hardware after each shot. It
runs in about 35 microseconds, not bad for three pages of code on an
ancient 20 MHz CPU.

I can design hardware forever, but I get depressed after about 2 weeks
of programming, for some reason.

What are you working on?

The 68332 is such a sweet design, though. My first MCU board, circa
1994, was done with one of those.

Aren't you a genius!! You seem to think that because you post some stupid
project on the net that it somehow makes you intelligent and that you'll
somehow get obama butt-buddy points(TM) for doing so?

Of course maybe you really are just interested in hearing what others have
done and want to share such things? If so ignore the first part.... If not,
then you might want to realize that there are millions of people out there
doing much more complicated electronics projects and not just for a
paycheck. You only look like someone trying to prove that they are
intelligent and doing a poor job of it.

Nah, mostly poverty and isolation. You have to get the job done, or the
crops fail and you lose your farm. Puts a premium on being able to keep
things working and to improvise.

A recent issue of IEEE Spectrum had an article about the power plant
engineers in Gaza restarting their plant by collecting almost 200 car
batteries. Same deal, different situation.
