Tom, do you enjoy making a fool of yourself, because if you are going to

energy that is _exactly_ what you are doing.

I don't believe that's what he did. I believe he was 'diagonally' denying
that they would be ignorant enough to pronounce the word "nuculus".

You're stretching quite far. Quite frankly the argument he is using is
the sort of thing my mother would go on at length about. Doesn't matter
if someone has three Nobel Prizes and wrote the Great American Novel, if
she didn't like his pronunciation you'd hear about it for weeks.

I keep seeing people who know a great deal about nuclear energy criticed
by people who know very little about it because the experts use a
regional pronunciation for that one word.

Somebody needs to get a video camera and make the rounds of operating
staff at nuclear power plants, asking each member to pronounce the word.
Then do the same for PhD nuclear engineers and physicists.

Anyone who takes the Southern pronunciation of "nuclear" as a
sign of ignorance needs to spend some time in the nuclear
engineering department at one of the Oak Ridge Associated
Universities.

Do they say that protons and neutrons comprise the "nuculus" of an
atom?

If so then it's just blatantly incorrect non-phonetic
pronunciation, but if not then it would seem that they don't
understand what "nuclear" refers to.

A Pakistani scientist claimed that some of his colleagues believed
there was a genie in the reactor, but it would be nice to know even
our Southern engineers understood what these words mean.

Tom, do you enjoy making a fool of yourself, because if you are going
to accuse the scientists at Oak Ridge of ignorance with regard to

I'm not because I don't think they are ignorant, but to use a pronunciation
based on 'nuke' is not what I expect from real scientists.

Yes I agree. I was asking a compressor supplier about one of their
products recently and was told it was a 'D' rated compressor by email. I
called them and got the information that what he meant was derated.


You should have asked if they had any E rated compressors.

The lumber yards around here call it 'Novelty Lumber' and want almost
$3 a square foot for what looks like seconds. The cement board will
cost me $0.85 per square foot. 14 sheets will do it, and I have a new
steel door that needs to be frames & hung. It will be the only air
conditioned shop, and 12' * 12' outside dimensions. It will be a place
to build control boards for my projects. Lots of microscopic surface

Makita 6001K plunge saw, which I need to buy a spare blade for. I did

I'm looking at things that aren't on Ebay, or a way to take a handful
of modules and make a complete product. I have several DDS modules, but
I found the sample schematic from the IC OEM is wrong. There are two
ways to interface the chip. A parallel PC printer port, or a serial
interface from a 92C51 processor. One item is a USB interface board, to
turn a module into a nice programmable signal generator for less than a
commercial product.

Well, the problem is to sell something cheaply enough that people will buy
it, but still make a profit on making them. Maybe I'm just no good at
marketing. I do make some money at this, but not a lot. So, I was just
suggesting you look at the possibility of actually earning a living income
this way very carefully, not through rose-colored glasses.

And, of course, if you are making a "comlpete product" you have to
worry about FCC compliance and maybe product safety testing, too.

Sell the item for a buck and the support for it for $15 per call. Note
on the auction that nobody from China offers _any_ kind of support.
After the first 20 calls, make sure your FAQ answers are online so
they don't have to call. You won't make much for your time, but you
will make something, and if anyone complains, refer them to the
support plan. win/win

All I was going to build was the interface. The DDS module is too
cheap to make in house, and test equipment rarely needs FCC approval.
The DDS module can only put out a 0 to 5 volt signal, which is about 120
mW. A lot of signal generators produce higher outputs and don't require
FCC approval, since they don't radiate the signal when used properly.

How bout the 80% of our Senate/Congress that sez
"nukyooler"..... No matter, tho, cuz oh-ficial language in
Wash. is Lobby$peak....

Anyone who takes the Southern pronunciation of "nuclear" as a
sign of ignorance needs to spend some time in the nuclear
engineering department at one of the Oak Ridge Associated
Universities.

Do they say that protons and neutrons comprise the "nuculus" of an
atom?

If so then it's just blatantly incorrect non-phonetic
pronunciation, but if not then it would seem that they don't
understand what "nuclear" refers to.

A Pakistani scientist claimed that some of his colleagues believed
there was a genie in the reactor, but it would be nice to know even
our Southern engineers understood what these words mean.

Tom, do you enjoy making a fool of yourself, because if you are going
to accuse the scientists at Oak Ridge of ignorance with regard to
nuclear energy that is _exactly_ what you are doing.

I'm not because I don't think they are ignorant, but to use a pronunciation
based on 'nuke' is not what I expect from real scientists.

Bear in mind that "real scientists" tend to sneer at the "fuzzy
subjects" which include English.
