Obama's health program... Hitler Care

...Jim Thompson

Jim, this is the system implemented in Denmark at present. If you're
over a certain age, they will delay treatment until you become an
emergency case, or better yet, die. If you die, then the health care
system isn't burdened. I have seen this since I have been around Danes
and Denmark for the past 20 years.

After all, Jim, you older guys just sit around doing nothing for the
economy! )

One thing I learned from my father, who "retired" for about two months
before he went back at it... keep it up or die (he made it to 90 ;-)

What I find funny, is all this health care stuff doesn't address some
of the fundamental issues of cost. I doubt that Obama, and other
lawyer-educated politicians (Rebubbalicans included), will do
something about reigning in the litigation burden of medicine since
that would put a cap on making tons of money. Drug companies are
another issue that stokes cash in to the freezers of politician's.

Fortunately, India is a viable alternative for American health care or
we would really be in deep fecal matter.

My latest SIG variation says it all...

Obama clearly blames insurance companies for his mother's death
from cancer. One then has to wonder if this whole health bill
isn't a personal vendetta against private insurance companies?

Civilization began when communities stopped leaving their ill,
injured or wounded behind to die alone.

Civilization ends when governments decide whether you have enough
value to the community to be worth getting medical care.

If some fatass gets diabetes, why should I pay his bills? Making people
pay their own damn bills doesn't "deny" anybody anything.

Insurance isn't supposed to cover routine checkups and stuff, and I SURE

and so on - THAT's "health" care - taking care of yourself!

I know exactly what it means. I also know that corded tools in the USA are
rated in amps these days. I even provided a random link to demonstrate that
FACT. So whether you or richardson claim it is never done I have
demonstrated that it IS done. An apology would be asking too much so just
accept that you have been successfully refuted and let it go at that.

Yes, tools are advertised and rated in North AAMerica by their
Amperage. This is, however, NOT power. It is advertizing gobbledegook.
It is "dumbed down" specifications.

You're an idiot. First off, there are ZERO 115 volt circuits here.

Secondly, everything that runs on standard AC that relates to raw power
is declared in Amps.

Look at vacuum cleaners, and the hand drill.

Anything that competes with other makers that runs on a motor, competes
with each other over how fast or how strong or how well it can do the
job.

A dremel tool talks about top rotational speed as that is more important
than shaft torque.

Drills and vacuum cleaners refer to the amperage of the motor.

So, YES it DOES mean EVERYTHING about how much power it has in a world
where the source voltage is known.

They went to advertizing amperage on vacuum cleaners after they were
called to the carpet for using inflated "air horsepower" ratings for
years. You could buy a "4 hp" vacuum cleaner that drew 10 amps on a
115 volt circuit. By any accepted way of calculating, that machine
could not produce more than roughly 1.4 HP.

Same thing with air compressors.
Because of litigation expense, and having to proove their device put
out the power they advertised, they went to rating the machinery by
amperage drawn at full load - which could be measured, was more
difficult to "fudge" and easier to prove in a court of law.

It can also happen with phones. Sell a "modern" 5GHz system to an

Yes, very worth reading.  It is likely that the low frequency rise in

I don't see any reason that a battery that will hold a charge for 6
months wouldn't have a noise level well below:

6*30*24*60*60= 16 x 10^6 : 1 = 144dB

because the fall off is very slow at the fully charged end of the
charge vs voltage curve.

That's an interesting paper as far as voltage noise is concerned, but
it's completely cracked when it comes to current noise.  You can't
measure the current noise of a low impedance source by putting an 825
ohm resistor in series with it, because the resistor itself will
suppress the current noise enormously.

Yes, the current part of the paper makes little sense at all. It is
like they needed to fill a few more pages so they added it.

I am still casting about for a better current source topology that
somehow magically ends up with very little noise. Ideas involving
super conductors etc have a little too much complexity.

I think it will end up with some very large film capacitors in it.

In the UK elementary education is funded by the central government,

the schools are administered by local authorities.

Schools in rich areas do better for their students than schools in
poorer areas - the interest and motivation (or lack of it) of the
other students in a class affects the quality of the education
availalbe to all the students in a specific class-room.

Big brother is watching... big time :-(

Bullshit.

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance
reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances
to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below
the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.
Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White
House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or
see something on the web about health insurance reform that
seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

You are such a good little mind numbed robot.

When, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the Bush
Administration asked the public to keep an eye out for
potentially life threatening, illegal, terrorist activity and
report same to the appropriate authorities the left went into
an apoplectic fit screaming fascist, fascist, but you think
it's perfectly fine for people to collect and send private
communications to the White House for nothing more threatening
than expressing a political opinion Obama doesn't like.

Let's see, the left says reporting life threatening illegal
activities bad.

Bullshit.

and the left is full of it.


Hate to burst your fascist bubble but the First Amendment
doesn't say only speech Obama likes, or only speech you like,
or only speech Obama deems politically appropriate or only
speech Obama, in his great wisdom. deems the one and only
'truth'. It protects SPEECH.

Only a complete idiot would think this is for anything but
rebuttal. lol

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a flying fig *what* your twisted
little swastika imagines the 'purpose' to be. It's a violation
of both free speech and privacy rights,

Pathetic lie.

Spoken like a good loyal fascist.

What you mean is, you can't find proof one for your lie above. lol


regardless, and the Constitution makes no
exceptions for "unless the Obama administration finds infringing
on these rights convenient for stomping on it's political
opposition" nor is there one for 'convenient rebuttal'.

But, since liberals don't give a dam what the Constitution
says, I feel compelled to point out it's also illegal by
statute passed by a Democrat Congress.

Pathetic lie.

ditto

What you mean is, you can't find proof one for your lie above. lol


And, as I already mentioned in the parts you dishonestly
snipped, all of it is readily available on the Internet ranging
from 'mainstream' new sources, to editorials, to blogs, to
youtube and the only schmucks apparently not only deaf dumb and
blind to the deluge of concern but unable to google and click
on a link to inform themselves are Mr. Teachable Moment and his
'communications director'.

Pathetic lie.

ditto

What you mean is, you can't find proof one for your lie above. lol



What I mean is exactly what I said. You speak like a good loyal
fascist.

More nothing from the nothng.


So you being a fascist is "nothing."

You speak like a good loyal fascist.

More nothing from the nothing.

Spoken like a good loyal fascist.

10 Mbit WiFi works much better than 100 Mbit WiFi.
Just thought I'd point that out.

Something about bandwidth-SNR being constant for a given power, I think

That being said, I've seen several instances where some salesdroid is trying
to upsell little old ladies 802.11n wireless routers when they only have a
couple of computers and only plan to use the router to allow each machine to
access their 1.5Mbps or so Internet connection.  Sad.

I think the Shannon theorem comes to play here. However, the 100Mbps
wifi falls back to the slower standards, right? Now sometimes when
fallback modes are put in comm gear, the quality of the fallback
design is poor. That is, someone is addressing a marketing bullet
point rather than designing a robust system.

In the dark ages when I worked on a 2400bps analog modem, we satisfied
fallback to a stupidly good degree of quality, but only because it
wasn't very difficult. For instance, the FSK fallback was done with a
coordic computing arcsin to phase unwrap the signal, then a running
LMS fit to determine frequency. Insane quality, but all the routines
were present for other uses in the target application.

Back to wifi, if you war drive, generally you notice the data rate is
down to 1Mbps, presumably due to a more robust (noise tolerant)
communications scheme.

I'd like to replace an old microprocessor that is a BGA package. New they are

Is it possible to re-flow old BGA packages or is this not possible?

It is possible although it takes a lot of patience. Don't know if the
effort is worth $170 though.

BTW, I found this study on stencils which (I think) says they're not
necessarily all that effective:

Once we had two BGA pads swapped by mistake on the prototype board. The
tech managed to take the BGA off, fix the PCB and then put the BGA back.
That saved the board run.

It's a relatively straightforward procedure, given the correct
equipment. X-ray isn't *required* especially for a on-off like this.

It IS required if the replacement does not work.

And what do you do with the results of the X-Ray - decide to reflow or not. Same as you would do if
it didn't work.... 'nice to have', yes, 'essential' - no.
