I said reference voltage, but I meant the voltage for the summing amp would need to be 9V if that's the step up range he's going for. I totally agree about eliminating the batteries if possible; I just wasn't sure how to get adequate voltag

I'm only giving the circuit a cursory look, but I thought he wanted a 9V reference voltage added to the sensor voltage going into R7. But I guess a lower reference voltage may be adequate too.

by jeromec 17y ago
But then what would he use for the voltage source, + and - 4.5V? It appears he wants the + and - 9V available for the amplifier. But my EET is extremely rusty.

I agree. Ideally, pure CSS is certainly the way to go, but it's not yet supported well enough to be used exclusively IMHO in every situation. I get a kick out seeing "savvy" people demand "table-less" web development, but with no mention of

Just so you know, Google, one of the most successful sites on the Internet, uses layout tables, and so does HN for that matter. I also use tables, and I've visited popular, funded, and cutting edge TechCrunch50 websites with over 100 errors

I was going to say the exact same thing. I don't trust myself to remember to check in; I'd rather be prodded by default. What I'd like to see in an upgrade would be the ability to add goals to any date, and have the option to have email rem

When you talk about the Shah being overthrown in 1979, yet 30 years later we still see a tyrannical govt. in Iran, it's exactly the point I'm making. Religious rules inherently will be interpreted by man, which is the danger of a theocracy.

Yes, a person must be born on U.S. soil to become president.

by jeromec 17y ago
Hmm, that's an interesting and good point. I think it's still a bit more messy for Iran, though. Their religious doctrine is much less tolerant of liberalism. That means citizens will have to choose between being pro govt. or pro "evil" lib

It sounds to me like a major obstacle for him is lack of experience. I'd have a quick answer for that by offering any company I interviewed with (where I wanted the job) a "free trial", and work for free for 1-2 months as a consultant/inter

Whether or not it was a waste of resources is not the point. The point is that science is what made going to the moon possible.

The topic of politics has no bearing whatsoever on my statement of incredulity that any sane person could draw such a conclusion as to think science is bullshit. The text could have read "...thinking science is just more made up bullshit li

When this was originally posted on HN here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1005406 4 days ago I had a feeling the video would attract a lot of views. I glanced at the counter which read around 15,000. It now reads over 1,160,000. That

I wonder how hard this would be to spoof. At 2:05 the camera "follows" edging to the left even though Wanda's face has already exited left. Also, the very last time Wanda comes into frame the camera doesn't pan anymore, but picks up a last

Got it, thanks. What about if it read "but everybody changed their mind" or would it be minds?

If we're asking questions here... If a group was going into a restaurant, but saw it was dirty would it be "they changed their mind" or "they changed their minds"?

Why would someone downvote my comment above? I did agree a source of the wealth was likely inheritance. But why couldn't James, with his clever, some would even say mean (to Snape), talents not also be likely to go out and get into adventur

Remember that people in the magical world come of age one year earlier than muggles. I do think some wealth was inherited, but I also suspect James was something of an adventurer (remember his outings with Moony, Padfoot, and Wormtail), may

The article posits that a physical feature can be shaped evolutionarily by environment. Observations of other species appear to support that. We see today that there are different distinctive physical features for people around the globe, s
