I've got an amazing DC story for you...

Summer of '61, like 1AM, can't find my way to the Arlington bridge.

Pulled up beside a parked cabby and asked directions.

He said, "Follow me" !!!!!!!

Took us right there.

You're right. I find that amazing. In fact, knowing DC, I find it
incredible. ;-)

It was 43 years ago... probably wouldn't happen now :-(

Forty-three years ago, it was safe to pick up hitchhikers. Heck, it was

even reasonable to hitchhike! It was possible for two guys to hitchhike
together and get rides!

I think my Mom met my Dad hitchhiking. He was on his way to school out of
state, and she was on her way to her new job in the big city, or something
like that. (He and a friend were driving, and she and her friend were
hitchhiking. I have no idea who the friends were or what became of them)
I guess the job was piano-playing and copy writing for the local radio
station. Dad became a traveling salesman. Mom was a farmer's daughter.
Lucky for me, they didn't meet by him running out of gas in front of her
farm - Grandpa would have put him to work chopping wood, and they'd have
never met!

Cheers!
Rich

Do you have any information as to why Platinum would be prefered?

The overvoltage of hydrogen to platinum in water is zero volts.

I know- just returned from a Blue Ridge resort where there was nothing
but the so-called haute cuisine establishments, and was therefore forced
to drive 10 miles out of town to the nearest Aunt Sarah's for their
famous (and uncomplicated) all-you-can-eat pancakes 'n chicken special
for $3.25.


Do they have dumplings? Biscuits and gravy? Pot roast? I love stuff
like that. My favorite French dish is cassoulet, basicly baked beans.

This would be Lexington, Virginia- they pride themselves in several old
taverns and inns (restaurants)- dating back to early 18th century and
fully restored- that still serve the Olde English fare. There are a few
French restaurants too.

But... pancakes and chicken?

Yes- the chicken is not battered, very meaty, moist, and succulent, and
the two dozen three inch pancakes slathered in butter and hot maple
syrup makes for a surprisingly good combination- and all the coffee you
can drink too. I am sure that chicken is local- the other franchises
throughout the state do not have chicken quite as good.

One additional note about Cadsoft's Eagle product. The freeware/light
editions are fine for simple boards, but limit you to 1 schematic sheet
and 2 layers (100x80mm area max.) If you need a little more complexity
for your project and aren't using it to make money (eg. hobby or
academic use), they have a single-user 'non-profit' version that is
equivalent to their 'standard' version (4 layers, 160x100mm area, unltd.
sch. sheets) for $125 US.

Aaahhh! Thanks for this, Rene! Suddenly, the image of the Pt catalyst
in the cat.conv. sprang to mind. Hydrogen and Platinum LOVE each other!

Thanks again!

.. In this case, you can figure out the

currents. You might want to convert to a voltage and hit an emitter
follower with an active load on its emitter. You might not.
how does one convert? thanks for the cool web reference!

Grandma *is* more important. Complaining about a 20x boot time is

How many times do you boot? I turn on my computer each morning, get a
coffee,
turn on the radio and see what's in my inbox.

Windows takes a lot of time to boot, because it checks a lot of things
during
the boot. Depending on what you installed on top of it, it may take a
while
longer. In a network, it takes another extra amount of time, getting a
new
IP address perhaps, making connections to other PC's that were part of
the
game the day before. Yes, that takes a bit of time.

As a result, you can swap hardware, or put your entire drive in a new
PC and it will work. Windows will discard old drivers for hardware that
has dissapeared and try to find new drivers for the new hardware. That
is incredibly impressive.


Microsoft didn't invent loadable drivers (hell, they barely *have*
loadable drivers) or 3rd party hardware or documented APIs. They just
stole others ideas, played catch-up by pre-announcing their products
years ahead of availability, turned out bug-ridden crap, charged
everybody to fix it, and ruthlessly and illegally leveraged the OS to
kill off the people whose ideas they stole.

Microsoft recently announced another ripoff of somebody else's market
and product, bundling it with the OS, thus killing the company that
pioneered the concept. When Bill was asked how the victim company
could possibly survive, he said that they should "learn to innovate."

I agree that their business codes are nothing to be proud off. Well,
they got a nice fine from the EU.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3563697.stm

Still, peanuts for Bill. Perhaps the US government should squeeze
a bit more money out of Bill

Maybe that is what really bothers you, their attitude. Their products
are not too bad though (anything after WIN3.x, that is).

I suppose anyone who goes there will see it (unless this code is

It's of course a really bad time for their website to be down, and
also a bad advertisement for Microsoft (even if the problem is the

Thanks for your time and considering giving them a hand.

Ok. I learned a lot from the h-param equiv circuit with beta and

Maybe you could comment on my confusion over that author saying it's
best to never convert to a voltage after the diff stage. What could

You might try the following link

http://www.ScienceOxygen.com/apparatus/69.html

It is just a link with a collection of links about Geiger counter.
I am not sure if you can find a schematic over there. But you might
start from there to get some information...

Could you give a bit more detail about the practical results of this?
I am a lot more familiar with electronics than I am with chemistry,
and you are using the term "overvoltage" in a way that I am unfamiliar

Both outputs have to still be there in a modern 74HCT4096
