I am having trouble understanding and believing. How did you get an ostensible power terminal (for pull up) and two terminals for MiTM (input and output) from two terminals? Assuming a situation where there are other pullups on the wire, h

Like I said above I retired from this business a decade ago but I have a hunch that IP is going to be a better experience over docsis or any other broadband link. I don't see much complaining from fios/uverse customers, and I wor

Well this isnt so much the case anymore with switched networks. This was a thing 10 years ago when I retired from broadcasting. Basically the headend sets up a video session for the program if someone in the area tunes to the channel. Th

Back in the 70s I heard from more than one adult that you'd get your five cents back when returning the bottle. In the non-"bottle bill" area of the US where I lived, the last time I remember bringing bottles back to the groc

It might add to the understanding, for those who are familiar with some other legacy stuff, to note that the cbm serial data port was a reimplementation of ieee488/gpib in a shift register style to cut down on the cabling cost. It was

Oh god, not eevblog. That unlistenable whiny voice and his production values. I tried to tolerate it once but all he did was break stuff. And there's so much he got wrong that it's difficult to believe that he ever had a job.
