From: charlesgrozny on 13 Mar 2010 14:47 Trying to make inteligent conversation with Joe is always a waste of time. You're basically trying to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Or as my dad used to say of people like Joe, "He talks like a man with a cardboard a$$hole." Charles Grozny

Many Chinese companies barely engineer their products but simply copy the reference designs published by chip manufacturers. Those designs only intended to help engineers quickly build experimental circuits to learn about the chips, not make final products, and the reference designs often contain flaws (sometimes documented) that the engineers are supposed to eliminate in their own designs. |
