It looks to me as if all the opinions thrown around in this thread, and indeed in every thread of its nature, can be boiled down to one thing:
People who did not go to college and do not have a degree think that it is better (or at least as good) to have technical experience but no degree, and preach it in order to justify to themselves that they did not fail themselves by skipping college. People who did go to college and did earn a degree tend to think that if you dont have a degree, you are worthless as an employee, and preach that in order to justify to themselves the time and money they might have wasted by attending college instead of acquiring real world experience.
Anyone else think this makes sense? It sure does to me.
Actually, it does stretch DC to daylight, in the most literal sense. there's a DC pulse when the arc is actually made, and sparks emit light, do they not? They also emit EM energy at all frequencies inbetween.
Nasty business... why do you think radio ops abandoned spark gap nearly a century ago?
In my neck of the woods, 128MB PC133 SDRAM is $50-60 US. I suggest you buy as much as you can before this trial concludes, as if Rambus wins, memory prices are going up, and fast. Memory has been so cheap lately due to free market, if Rambus takes that away, then we're all screwed.
