From: Stan Starinski on 16 May 2010 09:10 > offer to help them steal the use of C18 optimization... What do you mean by "steal"? I turned Optimizations off b/c MCU here has 8 times more memory than I'll need even if code doubles in size. C18 is usable even after 60 days - if you don't mind losing optimization. I am surprised Microchip wouldn't disable it completely after 60 days - flashmemory is so cheap that it's OK to sacrifice optimization if you don't write monster-sized code or one that needs lightning fast speed. I wrote ffor ACpower controiller application, my clock is 20MHz, I am perfectly fine w/o optimizing code, code comptactness or speed is nto critical for this application. IN ADDITION - STUDENTS GET DISCOUNTED PRICING. ========================= Stan Starinski Consulting Engineer (EE+ME, ECAD+MCAD [3D/2D]), R&D + Prototype, Embedded/Firmware ["C" or ASM for Microcontrollers], computers).

From: Stan Starinski on 16 May 2010 09:20 > your leap to one lost job at MS to one lost job as each of several other > businesses It's a figure speech. It's not not meant to be factual but comparative. E.g. when Bible says "3" it means a afew, when it says "40" it means "many" - buit it does not mean actually 3 or 40 or 1000. What my statement convenyed is idea of FREE software for all applications/everything would cause enormous economic damage. Note how this idea is entertained precisely where deeps**its runt their economy into chaos - 3d world, Spain, latin America. Because it's akin to COmmunism -free everything, so whgy work, why innovate? Thomas Jefferson said those who hammer their guns into plows, will plow for someone who didn't. People must work, then they get paid, then they buy goods. But Free Software removes one big ingredient from modern ecomony - that is software making. You should pay for someone's hard work. If yoiu don't pay, you're a thief. If you're th eone who works & doesn't get paid - you're a fool with TWO EXCEPTIONS: a) Exception1: There's war or your country needs help. Then you work for survival, you give software to your country. b) Exception2: You're a charity. You help needy people. For any other reason - free software is an anti-capitalist destructive idea. Next I want free healthcare. Free education. Free cars. free housing. Free food. Why not? let's go. Let's stop working and get on government's back and suck taxes until we run out of money and build COMMUNISM ========================= Stan Starinski Consulting Engineer (EE+ME, ECAD+MCAD [3D/2D]), R&D + Prototype, Embedded/Firmware ["C" or ASM for Microcontrollers], computers).

That picture is an edited version, the original version read "When you pirate MP3s, you're downloading Communism" or something similar. The computer is indeed Apple's original iMac, which says something about how old the poster is. -a |
