Not meme, but funny screenshot...

So, looking for images for Vicor, google suggested great alternatives.

And according to farnell, Xilinx will be rolling out their two pin FPGAs some time soon.

Not likely though, common faults will mean you have a lot of stuff that never fails, and the few known failures affect all of them.

Who is that "Bob"?

He was the (late) Linear Technology's (late) Bob Pease, a by all means real engineer, along with the also late Bob Widlar, the inventor of the homonymous current source/mirror and a pioneer of the bandgap voltage reference.

-George

Edit: Grammar...

BLASPHEMY !! Bob was National Semiconductors. Jim Williams was Linear Technology.

I quite like greentext so here's my attempt at one 

Future smart roads could play music, generate electricity and charge cars while driving
As electric vehicles become commonplace, 'electrified roads' that charge vehicles automatically have captured the government's attention

I'm slightly disappointed no one commented on a yearly time travelling convention.

Next year's one was a blast.

Either that or the requirements were bad.

Haha, nope! Found it on this AliExpress listing in July.

Needless to say, I did not buy this model ... but two people have.

I had a physics teacher that said exactly that. Some years ago someone asked during a class why we can't have a test with the help of the internet. Some people jumped in the bandwagon of the initial idea.

The teacher just replied, "If all of you want, we can have, but it will not help, I will choose questions tailored to be hard to search for solutions. Just because the tests without consultation have questions you can easily use the notebook to solve them, that doesn't mean that said "internet consultation" test will have the same level of questions."

After she finished we could listen the silence in the classroom. The proposal were dismissed. Remember we are talking about the late 90s, early 2000, the years of the Internet Boom were everyone who were young think that the Internet had solution for everything, just shy away of a search in Altavista or Yahoo.

Same thing to me. My signal processing theory professor was asked by some students what they could bring with them at the exams. His answer: Anything that you can drag in by yourself. 70% failed.

What, nobody asked the professor how much he weighs?

Oops, language failure.  Anything.  I forgot other languages usually exclude people when they use thing.  Nevermind..

I'm afraid bring personnel was not allowed
