You're right. A dreaded liberal would never say such a thing. I just can't
bring myself to call myself a neocon, which are the people who would enjoy
that sort of hate.

The semi-official definition of "neo-conservative" is "a liberal who
has been mugged by reality." That's sort of an engineering approach to
social well-being.

What, they turn neocon to get revenge on reality by flipping over to perp?

Sounds logical to me.

OK, consider this perspective:

NeoCons have, philosophically, a sincere desire to make the world a
better place for everyone, both materially and spiritually.

Yeah, in their infinite arrogance, they claim to know what's "better" for
everybody, regardless of whether or not it's true.

Rather than assume the rest of humanity is a child and needs constant
supervision, yes. Helping them on the the way to a better future is
not *racist*. I don't assume they cannot "handle it". Your kind
does, constantly.

Make your own life better, but let others muddle through the best they
can - that's called "live and let live", or sometimes, "respect."

You may muddle through your life, but others aspire to better things. For
you to say they cannot aspire to what *I* have,

I'm saying no such thing!

You've taken my words and turned them completely backwards!

They can have whatever they want, they can aspire all they want!

Who the hell do think you are to think that they want to have your
lifestyle or religion or politics or culture or anything else of yours
shoved down their throat at the point of a gun?

Dumb Fucker.

And very good too, if you were shopping for a soundcard 4 or more

We're sadly in need of a similar comparative review of current cards.

What's a good diode (preferably some jelly bean part) to use
when one needs an extremely low reverse leakage current?


A small-junction NPN transistor, base-emitter junction can
be used to get leakage down where you appear to need it.
Tie the collector and base together.


According to Bob Pease in "Troubleshooting Analog Circuits" (page 66) it's the base-collector diode you want to use. He suggests a
2N3707 or 2N930, although he also mentions 'some 2N3904', saying that there may be a problem with some because of gold doping. His
claim is 1pA leakage at 7V.


With all due respect for Mr. Pease, I'm going to stick my
neck out and disagree. Most of the leakage of a diode comes
from surface leakage and thermally generated carriers in the
depletion region. For a normally built BJT, the B-E junction
has less exposed surface than the B-C junction and also has
a smaller volume depletion region, being both narrower and
occupying somewhat less area. So, unless one requires a
reverse breakdown higher than the several volts available
from a B-E junction, it is the better choice. (I am willing to
be proven wrong on this, but it will take some evidence.)
I suspect Mr. Pease's advice was directed toward the case
where more than 3 to 6 Volts of reverse standoff is needed.

Well you know that alpha_F x Ieo = alpha_R x Ico, so that right there
tells you that Ico is an integer multiple or two of Ieo. Pease is
*never* wrong, so it must be that the Early effect narrowing of the EB
depletion region causes that junction reverse saturation current to
surpass the BC diode leakage in some exponential way with voltages
smaller than breakdown.

Damn! I must have missed out on the "dishonesty gene" when they were passing
them out.

Back in the 1970's, there was a company passing out one-penny capacitors (sold
as a "device") for $30 each that would "fix your TV reception" permanently.
Money back guarantee, too! At least, in their case, they had you fiddling with
the back of the TV antenna system to install it, so that if there *were* any
loose wires you hadn't been paying attention to, they'd get tightened and your
reception really might improve some.

Moons ago, GE had a section in their troubleshooting their toasters
telling people to reverse the plug if it didn't heat. SOme thought hts
silly because heating elements aren't polarized and this *was* AC, after
all. It seems that it was more politically correct (in a time long before
PC) than telling people to "plug the damned thing in, dummy!" The
message got through without pissing off the dummies.

The display on eBay is cool as is, it would make a neat clock if I had
any spare time.

The general consensus by those that aren't doing the work but feel the
need to make demands is that it has to light up actively. This is
after the ideas offered here were made. The simplest method I can come
up with is to use the xmas lights as segments and power them
individually by rocker switches. 24V should do the trick and if anyone
complains about the brightness, well...

Thanks for the input.

If you're using Xmas lights, be sure to charge them extra if they demand
that all of the same segments be the same color.

Back before the isolation transformer was discovered, you used to be able
to reduce the hum in audio equipment by turning the plug around. I got bit
by this once, by boldly, as a teenage geek, turning the plug around on a
guitar amp that had had hum, and, as a teenage showoff, prior to testing
for effectiveness of the "cure," proudly laid my whole hand across the
strings of an electric guitar that had been "humming", while standing
barefoot on a damp concrete floor.

I won't say, "needless to say," but when I turned the plug around, I had
done it exactly wrong - the hum wasn't from the reversed plug, it was just
from hum pickup. Reversing the plug put the chassis of the whole system at
120VAC to ground.

But it's OK, I'm not a "trained" professional. ;-) (Big winkie-winkie to
the John who said "Engineers aren't _trained_, we're _educated_. Dogs are
_trained_. Huff!" I got a kick out of the bit in the porno outtakes tape
where the actors come out of character between takes, and one guy, while
greasing his penis, looks directly into the camera and says, "Kids, don't
try this at home. These are trained professionals.")

I have some rather unique bio-engineered chips that are designed to
heat houses while emitting a fairly bright glow of light.
Due to the fact that each one is unique, I must charge for the great
effort of producing these chips from the parent stock, which is also
unique.
Mass production of these chips is a special art.
Do not get trampled in the rush to get these bio-heaters!
