electronic throttle

I was glad to see your post. You demonstrated the complexities of
failure analysis that the average person has no concept of. They think
: "What's the problem - you only have 7 parameters to take into
account." They have no concept of permutations, or interactions of
complex systems in general, or the unforeseen scenarios that have to be
thought of for a meaningful analysis.

I was involved in manufacturing FMEA's with one of the big three over 10
years ago. The starting point, by the nominal manufaturer's requirement
imposed on us for us to be able to do business with them, for a
manufacturing FMEA is to be the design FMEA.

The nominal manufacturer often, with a wink, told us they couldn't
afford the time it takes to do the design FMEA's,and so we would have to
fake that part as the input to our manufacturing FMEA. What a joke the
whole thing was. *They* couldn't afford to do what, by their own
procedural and contractual requirements, was required on their part, but
we, their supplier who they were raping on the per-unit price they were
paying us, were not only forced to do our part before we could start
manufacturing, but incur extra cost and risk by faking the input to
start our process that they were supposed to have provide to us.

 

So Dillon - how many people reading this do you think know what a
singularity is? You, me and who else?

I would guess it's probably the opposite of a plurality.

Rodan. <-- probably not a math major

 

of course Rodan is Tony ...

Rodan has good judgment as he lacks expectations.

You see ....

Boys always justify, invalidate, argue, fight, quibble ... while men
have nothing to prove.

Boys always want something from you making them greedy and stingy while
men want nothing from you making them generous and kind.

Boys always lie, cheat and steal ... they are stuck in the toddler
tantrum as a necessary result of child abuse and this is for war, for
combat ...

Since they are boys, they have poor judgment and always their projects
come out all foxed up as boys are always foxing around.

Obamabush and his Defense Department are run by boys out of the White
House ... been that way for some time, ever since Clinton was the boy in
the White House. Now we have a boy nigger fighting the war he can not
win, as Gates will not let him ... Gates has foxed it up from the start
with Rummy in charge. No thinking at all going on up there I am sorry
to say.

The men are on the ground doing the gut work ... some of the men are
under the ground.

80,000 Gulf War deaths from Gulf War Syndrome and the vaccinations they
made them take ... so hurry and get your Federal Swine Flu shot and put
some lipstick on that pig.

LOL! You'd think so, but nope.

 

Ooops! My bad.

 

depends in what context.

It can be the quality of being one of a kind.
It can be a (usaully) weather phenomenon that is likely to occur with
reasonable regularity around a specific set of circumstances (like
calendar date)
It can be a self improving artifical intelligence
It can be a point at which an (mathematical) object is undefined or a
point in an exceptional set where it fails to be well behaved in some
particular way.

Or it can be a scifi novel.

 

That's the one. The context was controls theory. It is another pitfall
in what people think is oh-so-simple in designing electronic controls of
even minimally complex systems - like an automotive drivetrain. It
can be a bitch when you have a well-defined seemingly trivial
combination of inputs, but the resulting output has the possibility of
going in more than one direction. Kind of like when you try to divide
by zero.

 

No, that's how we elect a lot of our presidents.

Probably not even a math 1st Lt.

Numbers theory for me.

..999999..... + .99999... = 2

Always.

Is it disk or disc? I "grew up" with 360s, starting with a 360/20. I
still have my 360 and 370 "Orphan Annies" and can sometimes even write
JCL.

Made me dig it up. S100 bus. Common I/O bus.

And the wierd one (if you ever delete with HP-UX) "bus I/O error",
which had nothing to do with hardware.

And it was the Unibus from DEC. (I own HP stock that I got as ESOP
from when I worked at DEC)

I said that once and was accused of talking out of my asymptote.

Gen. Murray: If you're insubordinate with me, I'll
have you put under arrest.
Lawrence: It's my manner, sir.
Gen. Murray: Your what?
Lawrence: My manner, sir; it looks insubordinate
but it isn't, really.

 

This current line of ample jolts is revolting.

(old EE joke/pun. Kind of weak, but EE's aren't known for their

The RMS Titanic sank on April 15th.
Taxes are due on April 15th.
Coincidence? I think not.

 

Not a true S/360, BTW, which has nothing to do with you, of course.

Haven't seen the "Orphan Annies" reference before - "green" cards?
