After 52 years of using electrolytics I have come to this....
Reecently I picked up 3 micro-desktop PCs and a decent mobo with lousy caps. They were all 220uF or 1500uF 6.3V low ESR caps.
I priced both types and ended up buying 100 of the 2200uf (which you can use in place of the 1500uF ones as the OEMs only use lower capacity ones to save money) because the quantity of one instead of two item numbers meant a better quantity price break.
I have Rubycon brand parts. They have never given me probs in the past (neither did Nichicon so the future is ???) but all the failed units were Lelon crap.
Hint: getting a bunch of A-Open mobos in cases that cannot stand a modern mobo (due the heat of new Intel CPUs, doesn't have enough room for fans and has high wattage GPUs) and putting in ( mostly) 3 caps at about $1.20 AUD each (max 11 in one bigger MB) means I have several machines that were only missing HDDs for about $4 plus an hours work.
Lovely if you know what you are doing and I'm stocked up for about another 20 mobos. 8-))
Sir. We should apologize about producing proof we cannot present, as they have mysteriously disapeared. All of them. Please, do not blame us being outrageous at the Court, we can explain that : It's Henry. In 1997, Henry downloaded games and other stuff from the internet. And he gets a virus. This malicious program was downoloaded from a finnish ftp server. This virus prevented us of printing and destroyed all our archives. We just discovered that. But we have proof that IBM stolen us the concept : they made an advertising about this sad story. (sorry, I just madde humor about a old IBM advertiqing, and in French, the name of the falwty employee was Henry)
Too verbose! What you wanted to say is:
"The dog ate my homework!"
Ahhh.. I remember how Law School taught how to remember that:
There was a young law student called Rex Who had diminutive organs of sex. When charged with exposure, He replied, with composure, "De minimis non curat lex."
like the Urologist who was tired of medical work and looked for another trade.
He decided to be a motor (auto) mechanic and did a trade course, and on completion had to pass a practical exam.
The test consisted of removing the engine from a car and stripping it. Then it had to be reassembled and reinstalled in the car.
He was awarded 150 marks and upon asking how he got 150 out of 100 was told that 50 marks were for a perfect removal and strip. 50 were for assembly and refit.
The bonus 50 were for doing it all through the exhaust pipe.
Given that, so far, only 802.11b is truly Open Source capable, can we hope that this one will be ?
As so many (supposedly) Open Source coders have been ready to wave their legs in the air and sign NDAs to do drivers for various supposedly OS-Oses I won't hold my breath.
Don't know which ones? If they aren't 802.11b just try to see the hardware specs they used to write the driver. The code is NOT open if you can't publish the specs.

Apropos is not appropriate in this context. Surely what was meant was: Another reader sends in this guide to creating Debian packages which seems apt here.
"Geckos have the remarkable ability to climb the most smooth surfaces..."
So how many smooth surfaces can they climb? Or did you mean: "Geckos have the remarkable ability to climb the smoothest surfaces ?
My English Teacher wife has been bemoaning the inability of modern youngsters to use comparative and superlative adjectives and I could never, until now, find such a clear example of the ambiguity such crippled expression can create.
It will stick in my mind like.....ahhh.. Gecko feet.
Why do you have to use their services to send out a PDF invoice or fax?
I use PDFfactory (from www.fineprint.com) to get PDFs and if you can't have a virtual fax printer in similar fashion then print the bloody thing and fax it from the paper.
All this angst for the lack of thinking across the square? Bah! Humbug! It's the season...
I always thought it was SunnyVale but then what would I know? Being an Aussie who often lunches at the Stanford Shopping center and who has friends in SunnyVale.... I could be mistaken.
I used to work with some wierd chips back in those days and whilst the "Oldtimer's Disease" is setting in, ISTR the Signetics 82S100 had a write only register.
It wasn't an AFD joke, either. Go look!
Anybody who was just a whippersnapper lab rat in those days care to verify?

Note: If you use Windows 95 and Mac OS 8-9, you can continue to use version 2.4. No changes have been made to version 2.4.

A country gets the government it deserves and, sadly, it seems we are all in the same thrall...
