    Our Perimeter Has Been Breached!

    ABC/Yahoo news has discovered that there is a segment of society that doesn't fit their packaged protoplasm view of their readers. Personally, I think we're better off being obscure. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/first-look-25-raspberry-pi-computer-132227303.html...

    My New Toy

    While in a Circuits forum thread I mentioned that I was distracted by a new toy I just bought. Stew1954 wanted to know what it is. So...... When at my last checkup with my GP he informed me that I gained 25 pounds since I retired a year ago. I was overweight when I was still working, so I...

    Beards and Hurricanes

    Wow, that just about confirms what I said about home brew vs off the shelf. It was dark brown in the beginning. What the hell happened?? :confused: :rolleyes: Chris

    Who Is This?

    Can someone please tell me who this is? I'm not referring to the obnoxious new member with the immense chip on his or her shoulder, I'm referring to the member's avatar. It does not belong to this individual because I've seen this lovely lady many times, usually in avatars. Besides, no one this...

    10 Ohm 100W Tapped Resistor

    I do business with MPJA often. They sell a mixed bag of new, surplus and factory closure or overrun components. Some of the items that I would classify as surplus would be an item like this. Lets face it, you don't see these every day, especially at this price. You can bet when they're gone...

    Ohm's Law or not Ohm's Law... That is the question

    Sure they do. For BJT's it's the "Collector Resistor". It doesn't matter if we're talking Tubes, BJT's, MOSFETs, JFETs, Resistors, Light Bulbs, Inductors, Capacitors or even Wire. All components in an electronics circuit are governed by Ohms Law. Chris

    Let's Hope It's Just Bad Tuck!

    Dave just posted to a thread https://www.electronicspoint.com/vhf-booster-t251559p3.html#post1489009 that he was hospitalized but didn't say why. Lets hope he tells us here that he's recovering. Get well Dave. Chris

    Political argument (Yeah, this is going to end well)

    I'm only aware of some of the changes in Australia in my life time. Here in the U.S. it's a damn nightmare. Our downward slide began in the mid 1960's when Marxists realized they would never get a solid foot hold in the U.S. and saw the Hippie movement as an ideal petri dish to fester in. When...

    The newbie's secret circuits circus

    This is because nubes get this wacky idea that they think they're inventing something new and if they post the details it's going to be stolen. :rolleyes: News flash.... Not probable!

    Australian - Magnificence!!!

    This is not an electronics related post. I just saw her on Yahoo and couldn't help but to comment..... WOW! Many athletic women seem to lose a % of femininity but not this beauty! Look at all that feminine energy! It's like thermal runaway...

    Tip For Which DataSheet.PDF To Choose

    All the major Data Sheet sites will usually offer you quite a few data sheets, offered by various manufacturers, for the same device. For instance, you may see a listing from National with a file size of 65KB and another from GenericNameElectronics, with a file size of 386 KB. At first glance...

    This Is What's Really Needed!

    Yes, it's easy enough to google a component part and dig up the data sheet for it. What we don't have and what's really needed is a search engine that searches for user defined specs. For instance, suppose you needed an PNP switching transistor that required the following. Enter Type: PNP...
