    My point was that hooking two capacitors in series doubles the working voltage but halves the total capacitance. The total charge in coulombs is still doubled. But the capacitance is halfed. To get double the voltage and have the same capacitance you need four times as many capacitors. And get four times the charge (I * T, aka big spark).

    Pretty much ALL the nazis and clansmen at this point in the US are fringe lunatics with virtually no support from anybody outside their tiny subcultures. It isn't 1933 in Indiana anymore, the brownshirts and clansmen are just a nasty flavor of cosplayers who take themselves too seriously. Nobody else should, and few do.

    When you series connect two capacitors to double the max working voltage you half the capacitance. So use two capacitors double the size you need... it gets big and bulky fast.

  11. It's very easy to use a WSUS update utility to download and build a Windows 7 update .iso or thumb drive. It's something to just regularly do. I made a final XP update with such a tool on the eol date for XP and now have a permanant final update bundle for XP.

    Can't you pay for an upgrade to Windows 10 Professional and the mandatory updates are no longer mandatory? If you have Win 7 or 8 Pro your 10 update already installs as Professional. At least that's what the docs from MS say (or said at the time I read).

    I would say that 'With WinME and Win2K the differences became pronounced' then the last desktop-consumer related missing features were rolled into WinXP.

    The release of Win2K really set back Linux on the desktop. For a long time it was the better-than-linux option for the desktop. For years linux advocates carped and whined about 'Windows problems' that were bound to the old Win9x codebase, because they couldn't afford to compare desktop linux to W2k.
