Sweet indeed. Fight you for it.

Butbutbutbut I thought monitor manufacturers are coming out with wider and wider screens just for us LV guys.

Nice demo, Mikael.

Some of my more religious and conservative associates think Darwinism is the "biggest scam in history". But that's another thread on another forum, and it's not going to be started by me.

Ahhhhhh!!! MY EYES!!!

If the topic at hand can even be remotely political I avoid Wiki like the plague. They have a cabal over there.

I had the Mega SinusInfection/Bronchitis Combo last winter. I've never been so sick in my life. Took me weeks to get over that. I feel your pain.

Subversion is being replaced?!?! Die MONSTER, DIE!

List them. Beta's count.

Glancing over the Wiki article I would have to say (IMO) yes, yes and yes. I thought this is what notepads and white boards were for. I spend too much time learning new software as it is.

Indeed. You and Jeff are right. And it would be pretty rare. But "rare" has a sneaky way of eventually becoming "precedent".

Excellent point. Maybe we (me) are getting a little too upset over something that rarely actually happens, i.e. paying for LV bug fixes. I think it was the way it was worded on the NI page in my original post. To paraphrase the way I understood it: "We spent 3000 man hours fixing 100 bugs but YOU have to pay for it ..." (sigh)

I don't think I've ever said that NI's code was crappy before today. 100 bugs that take 3000 manhours to fix is crappy code. I think NI's push to get a new revision out every year is making their quality suffer. Code that has that many bugs and took that long to correct did not spend enough time in Beta testing.

On a post from Info-LabVIEW I read something disturbing. Then I looked it up myself. From this page: "... LabVIEW 2009 Service Pack 1 software represents more than 3,000 hours of engineering time and addresses nearly 100 bugs in LabVIEW 2009 ... Only customers with active SSP membership at the time of release (February 15, 2010) will be able to activate LabVIEW 2009 Service Pack 1 and the latest versions of the modules...." What could possibly motivate NI to charge us money to fix their bugs? Stop writing crappy code, NI. Fix it before you ship it. I can imagine how buggy 2010 is going to be.

Climate scientists hope independent reviews will reverse public’s loss of trust. Good luck with that. It's kind of hard for a review if much of the original data were DELETED. This is my 666 post. I must be the Global Warming/"Climate change" antichrist.

PaulG. at LAVA = PaulG. on the Dark Side. "Inappropriate Public Forum Adjectives" WT ... !? That has to be the most "politically correct" way of saying: "Your comment was removed by the moderator due to offensive content" I have ever heard. Now I am DYING of curiosity. PM me, Norm and tell me what you said.

I love it when I'm right. For Phil Jones to admit any of this demands my utmost respect. "Hey, boss ..." " ... These stations, they believe, have been seriously compromised by factors such as urbanisation, changes in land use and, in many cases, being moved from site to site..." "Hey, boss. Since we can't prove global warming for the last 15 years or so would it be OK if I stick this thermistor up your @SS?!" Global warming, uh, umm I mean "cliimate change": The biggest scam in history.

I love the Lounge. Congrats, Ben.

Why would you want to use capacitors? Look at using a MOSFET circuit. A FET will most certainly be able to handle the current requirements but it will leave a footprint about the size of a small, surface-mount IC.

So how's all the climate change workin' out for ya? Actually, I put little stock in brutal winters when it comes to "climage change". It just might be a brutal winter. I remember winter of 2003 being very mild. My family and I taking a walk in 50 degree weather on Christmas Day. That's unheard of. And the last two winters here in MI have been brutal. Cold and lots of snow. This winter has been a little cold and very dry. I'm not complaining. Drive one rush hour in the snow with the Motor City nutcases and I think you would understand. I feel bad for my east coast and midwest friends (You and Ben off the top of my head) and my folks and daughter got hit pretty hard and often down in Ohio for the last couple of weeks. But I've been getting a real kick out of the fact that DC was SHUT DOWN for a week and all those politicians had to deal with all that snow. If DC is shut down they can't do any harm. God has a sense of humor.

Awesome nuclear power. 25 MW that can fit in your basement. At 1/3 the cost of "conventional" nuclear.

I have to agree. I hate exercise but I love tennis. I didn't start playing until about 10 years ago. I was just over 40 at the time but my SO at the time was an athletic Brit who loved the game. She took me to school. I fell in love with the game so much we joinded a local tennis club where we could play even in the winter. Even though I got very good very quickly (she said I was a "natural") I was such a "newb" (and she had been playing since she was a kid) it goes without saying she kicked my "Yankee @ss" every single match. I never had so much fun getting my @ss kicked by a girl.

I was never much a Seinfeld fan, but that was hilarious. But if I may offer my $0.02... I have had a one hour commute to and from work for years. I got into Podcasts and audio books when my daughter got me an iPod Shuffle a couple of Christmas's ago. I recently upgraded to a Nano. I love my commutes (except when the roads are bad). However, I still love my books and have been thinking about getting a reader of some sort. The bulk of a book is what I don't like the most. (Anyone lug around Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged?) I also like the idea of having more than one thing to read on such a small platform.
