Untrue! I said that he had a smaller sample size. One cannot

Guy is mad at me for insulting him.

I honestly don't recall you insulting me, nor am I mad at you
for any reason

Actually, one time at an apartment in Bloomington, MN (near
Mpls.), at a patio party I happened to be wearing a fairly
bright red polo shirt. Some hummingbird zoomed up to just
outside arm's length, paused and looked me over, with a
"WTF??" look in his eye, and flew away. Most people (and I)
surmise that he probably thought I was a big azalea or
something. ;-)

Actually, most of here think that you are a big azalea (or possibly
a Titan Arum in full bloom) but are too polite to mention it to you.

HTH.

However, we can't ignore the truth because we don't like it.

Well, you're doing an admirable job of it so far! ;-)

And what truth would that be?

The truth that you *aren't* smarter than the vast array of experts
who reject your theories.

The truth that you substiture namecalling and personal attacks for
logic and reason.

No, merely the truth that everyone has Free Will.

I've ventured no opinion as to Kevin's mental prowess. His expressive
skills, yes, but only in the spirit (I had intended) of offering
assistance, both to him to clarify the expression, and soliciting
his assistance to me understanding his hypotheses. And receiving it,
I really should mention, since I'm so treacly these days. ;-)

And, of course Free Will means Kevin has an absolute, Wheel-given[0]
right to believe whatever he believes, and nobody's business, unless
he starts impinging unfavorably on other people's free will, and even
that's not wrong, because that would be an exercise for the other
in managing his own will's responses.

Because of the nature of Free Will, every transaction is by mutual
consent, just not always visibly so at the physical level. "On the
physical plane," the mystics would say.

It's also why God hasn't intervened when people have beseeched him -
if he did, it'd mean overriding somebody else's Free Will, and he
won't do that.

Until the USA started using atomic power to kill people.

He has discovered that failing to intervene at this point would
sign the death warrant for the entire planet, and possibly for
Creation in general.

Whose side are you on?

Good Luck!

The really important question is: Why?

'cause its the wifes computer and she won't switch to Linux.

Install Windows 98 SE then.

IMHO, Win 98 SE is the best Windows version, that isn't based on NT code.

For a NT-based OS I go with Windows 2000 for work, or Win XP for games.

And that RHP issue is nothing to be sneezed at, especially if you need a
really quiet output voltage. Discontinuous mode is generally considered
to be easier if this is one of the first switchers you are designing.
The price to be paid for a larger core and switch isn't so steep.

Often the price for the "extra" switch for discontinuous mode is zero. In
continuous mode the switch has to turn on with a current flowing in the
inductor. This adds to the switching losses.

You are right.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

I should never have posted anyway. It was late, I was bored, and I had a
bit too much to drink. In a clear frame of mind, I would not have felt
the need to waste everyone's time further.

vote for Bush, it's hard to believe that anyone would love failure that much.

These are only lies to the uniformed or rabid liberals which is really
one in the same.

Statistics show that the better educated and informed someone is the more
likely they are to be a democrat, so your observation is contrary to the
facts.

For than matter:

The current VP has voted for more cuts in the military than Kerry did.

The Bush folks were warned to watch out for Bin Laden and told those who
warned them to "shit up".

WW-2 was faught and won by a democratic president.

Nixon (a republican) was in charge when the US was defeated by a bunch of
barefooted folks in south east asia.

Clinton balanced the budget.

Bush #1 left Saddam in power. He did win a war against a 5th rate power
though.

Bush #2 is spending faster than a drunken sailor ever thought to and is
losing the war in Iraq.

The evidence shows that if you want to win real wars and balance the
budget, you need a democrat in the white house.

I remember AutoCAD came out with a small low-end program that cost, I
believe, under $100. It won't likely suffice to design a bridge or an

AutoSketch is too hard to use to be of any practial use. Anyone who
spends enough time with it to learn it, should buy a real cad program for
about $500.

So much for axiom-based theories, then. You and Kevin have just rendered

You have just trashed Euclid and a legion of other stuff.

There is no such thing as an axiom-based theory, using the word 'theory'
in its correct scientific sense. I explained all this in this thread
about 2000 posts ago.

Conjecture -> TEST -> hypothesis -> TESTS -> theory -> further TESTS.

It doesn't seem possible to test Kevin's proposals, so they can't be a
theory.

Be fair. No 'vast array of experts' has even looked at his papers.

The fact that most experts do *not* consider free will to be proven
not to exist is easily verified.

The truth that you substitute namecalling and personal attacks for logic
and reason.

Well, people have jumped all over him.

That does not change the fact that he substitures namecalling and
personal attacks for logic and reason. You can look at his posting
history and find example after example of him being the first one to
start slinging insults, and even more examples of him responding to
a logical argument with abuse.

OTOH, one of our chums has written about mystical matters. I find those
far more difficult to comprehend and I am far from accepting any of it
(mysticism, I mean).

Did that chum claim that anyone who fails to agree with his mysticism
is an idiot?

Oh, I don't have to. It's obvious. ;-)

Cheers!

"Survival of the Fittest," which I don't actually know if Dr. Darwin

yes.

He didn't, and, AIUI, didn't favour the expression, which was coined by
one of his contemporaries. It does appear to allow for 'acquired
characteristics' to be influential in evolution, which was anathema to
CD, but it's just beginning to be reconsidered, according to a recent
'New Scientist' article.

I've discussed this question with my lawyer, and he has decided that the
