    OOPS! I MEAN BIG OOPS, MAYBE. ROOKIE MISTAKE

    I believe I am getting confused by an exponent being used to signify the word square. 4 square meters is not the same as 4 meters squared. The statement I want to clarify reads; 10mA mˉ². So is exponent negative 2, a dash and a 2 used to signify a "square meter", or is it an actual math function...

    As I recall, operations inside parentheses, within a formula, are the first to be performed. Correct?

    OOPS! I MEAN BIG OOPS, MAYBE. ROOKIE MISTAKE

    Having a little difficulty getting my head around the math. That glass orb my have slipped out of my marble sack.My thot is, exponents in base 10 change the magnitude of its integer by a factor of 10. This function is performed on a single dimensional figure. If an additional dimension is added...

    OOPS! I MEAN BIG OOPS, MAYBE. ROOKIE MISTAKE

    I referred earlier to a negative superscript used with the conventional symbol for meter. In the article the value was written as 10mA mˉ². My guess is that the exponent minus 2 would be handled the same as it would in the expression 10ˉ² which equals 0.1. My logic says 2m² equals 2 square...

    ALT+4 CHAR GEN USING ON SCREEN KEYBOARD IN WINDOWS 10

    That is about the ʢʢʩʞ ʒˠϮЇϦϘ neatest ՉՖՒՏԆԦՐ thing I learned this month. ἝỶἒ ặ₼ ₿ ing very much ą HAþþẺ căញpEr. Thank you very much Harald. There is a box for which to type in a unicode for character not on the Windows map. I'm thinking unicode and alt+4 are not interchangeable but I have a...

    ALT+4 CHAR GEN USING ON SCREEN KEYBOARD IN WINDOWS 10

    The only viable method I have heard suggested for ALT+4 character generation is to create character table to be navigated, as I recall with F keys. That's it? Left high and dry, twisting in the wind, abandoned again because....why? I can only guess and it would be unfair to criticize without...

    Is it an English thing to use a negative sign in front of the exponent, or rather the super script? I really don't know. You are most likely correct. After 10 mostly sleepless nights, due to excruciating pain, I went to the emergency department around 10 pm, thinking it would be low on activity...

    HEADPHONE PANEL JACK CONTROL

    No pop-up. As I recall, neither the mic or the headphone jacks produced a pop-up when plug first inserted. My camera uses a USB port and does cause a pop-up with 3 or so options to choose from.

    HEADPHONE PANEL JACK CONTROL

    The photo of "the first transistor" that I prefer appeared in a National Geographics magazine. I remember the issue being July, 1954 but have not been able to locate that particular issue. I could be mistaken about that. I think the article said the device was at Bell Labs. That particular...

    HEADPHONE PANEL JACK CONTROL

    It's been a google of years since I've seen my cat whisker holder. Most likely trashed or given away during a move of residency. Let me know if you see it. Kept it in an old Sucrets can.

    HEADPHONE PANEL JACK CONTROL

    I have a Dell Opti-Plex 760 with Windows 10 OS. The front face has 2 -1/8" panel jacks. One for microphone and one for headphones. I have used the headphone jack to feed assorted audio playback units. Recently the headphone jack has stopped delivering a signal. Not sure what knocked it out but...

    OK. By all rights I must concede this round of argument. My doctor concluded, and I am bound to agree, that I am suffering from lumbar radiculopathy. Radiculopathy is an inflammation of the nerve root resulting from "pinching" where it pokes out of the spinal column. In this case, the L3...

    Another off the wall notion is that 300Mhz might be just right to drive a 2N3055 into self-oscillation. I'm on may way to a doctors appointment.

    OOPS! I MEAN BIG OOPS, MAYBE. ROOKIE MISTAKE

    A bit of an after thought. If I induced a standing wave ratio of 1:1 in a 1 meter test lead, that would be a frequency of ~300MHz. If I induced a 10:1 wave ratio in a 1 meter test lead, that would be a frequency of ~3GHz. Just a notion. I must admit that thru life, my self-diagnoses have about a...

    Since we are in the off topic lounge, I will question medical "science" a little more. If we do deem the practice of medicine to be science, then by all means, Granny Clampett must be awarded an honorary Doctorate Degree. Some 40 years ago, I questioned my family dentist about the safety of...

    Understood. I still have a grip on things and am somewhat mindful of the label warnings. I am, I suppose you could say, in a fringe area. I supplement the acetaminophen with aspirin which I understand is an NSAID, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. However, too much aspirin can damage...

    OOPS! I MEAN BIG OOPS, MAYBE. ROOKIE MISTAKE

    Three days prior to the onset of pain, I had smacked my knee rather sharply. I was quite amazed that no pain followed the incident. My previous theory was that I had chipped a bone and that chip is now irritating a nerve. Or, upon that incident, a nerve got tucked into a "pinch" area. The drs...
