Won't a non-connected primary essentially become another secondary winding?

How about a patented mix of super heated nitrogen? (hot air)

If there are any specific factual errors that you would like to point out in either of those Wiki articles, I'm all ears.

Series resistance of the signal and shield should be very low, but this is different from characteristic impedance. But the effects of it on sound quality are completely beyond my level of understanding...... In any case, I'll just keep buying BJC LC-1 and living in blissful ignorance.

Have you ever considered that your mind is too open?

Well, as long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I completely appreciate the enjoyment you get out of the work and that you don't do it for the money. It just really, really bugs me that someone else is using your efforts purely for cash. And not sensible cash like MisterX and Rockhopper, but snakeoil salesman cash.

I think they are both too big. AMB says 15mm max height on both C3 and C5.

If he's talking about BG's in parallel, it is probably the two 470

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the sea, this captain and his crew were always in danger of being boarded by pirates from a pirate ship. One day while they were sailing, they saw that a pirate ship had sent a boarding party to try and board their ship. The crew became worried, but the Captain was calm. He bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!" The First Mate quickly got the Captain's red shirt, which the captain put on. Then he led his crew into battle against the mean pirates. Although there were some casualties among the crew, the pirates were defeated. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending two boarding parties towards their ship. The crew was nervous, but the Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the battle was on! The Captain and his crew fought off the boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred. Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's events when an ensign looked at the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?" The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, explained, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the blood, so you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence. They were amazed at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!!"

Good dark chocolate should contain neither!

Eneloop are awesome batteries. Good choice!

It was always going to happen. Why fight the inevitable? How did you manage to get hold of one though? I didn't see any word that a new batch was up for sale......

This all reminds me of an interesting article I read in New Scientist about two months ago. The conclusion of a particular research group was that pretty much all of the equilibrium theories of market behaviour are entirely wrong - not due to the classic reasons, but predominantly due to human interactions. They essentially simulated a group of traders with various personalities who all responded to randomised good and bad news about a particular stock, as well as base financials, etc as would be expected under equilibrium. So long as each individual trader took no notice of what the other traders were doing, the market remained relatively stable and nobody lost too much money. A nice, healthy equilibrium. But as soon as the simulated traders began taking into account what other traders were doing, everything started going completely chaotic. Massive boom and bust cycles, and the majority of traders reporting losses to a select few lucky ones who made big profits. A really good example of how human greed, fear and sometimes outright stupidity can mess up an otherwise good system......

Is that an accurate tally of how much it has cost? Bloody hell! As soon as I confirm I have research funding for next year, and that the market has bottomed out, I'm in. Real estate, shares, don't care, whatever looks best at the time. I've been saving for an opportunity like this since I started my postdoc......

The extreme powers granted under this bill aside...... you are essentially agreeing that this is just a band-aid over a severed artery? I'm not an economist, but the way I see it the stock market lost 1.2 trillion in a day - that is almost twice the value of this proposed bailout, suggesting that there is scope for even bigger losses. So if everyone is screwed either way, then let it crash quickly without injecting more money. The recovery comes sooner and the system can flush all the crap through more effectively.

Shit, THAT is scary.

I see this whole situation as a complete failure of the entire capitalist system. After so many examples of failure in socialism/communism, capitalism was about due for a loss.

Being offended, and offending others, is a part of life.

Seems he made his own rope from twigs and leaves.....

morphsci was just being prescient. Let us be honest, we all knew exactly what was coming......

You asked, and you received

Oh shit, there goes the neighbourhood
