    the service industry leave the affluent? not likely. the affluent will keep them close at hand--quartered, if needed--and the staff need to market/gossip/and smoke weed

    sounds like you're just looking to pick a fight, might be a bit insecure, and gotta be right. what does this have to do with the original post or with the comment i was commenting on? so here's the defense: latches are flip-flops despite your claim that they are not. your argument that the code in the original comment is a flip-flop may be more accurate than my quick observation that it is a latch, but the better answer is, "it is a clocked flip-flop". real-world or practicing engineers seek to overcome hurdles--linguistic and otherwise--to close gaps. i'd wager a valuable sum that engineers seeing my first comment would recognize immediately that in calling the code a latch, that i realized its purpose: to preserve the state of a sample input in a pipeline--thus latching on to a value. they would have also forgiven the technical error and probably would have assumed i was accustomed to working in the analog world.

    cite anything you want to, the internet holds nothing but truth. show me the difference in a stick diagram and i'll show you your error.

    A FF and a latch are the same thing.

    If the child is throwing pencils for several hours per day, they are not being challenged. No teacher is able to challenge every mind that finds itself into his or her charge. For positive reinforcement to have a positive impact *you* have to have leverage, an upper hand, or a figurative carrot to dangle.

    OS X Mountain Lion is definitely not Windows 8. And a Mac can run Windows 7 if that floats your boat.
