| Actually, endianness plays no role in ASCII text files as every character is just a single-byte. Endianness is only a concern with multi-byte character encodings. |

| One thing to keep in mind is that marijuana consumption can be extremely dangerous for people with certain heart conditions (many are undiagnosed). People with long QT or ventricular tachyarrhythmias have died in the process of smoking weed. |

| Sounds like Hoover's high-wage doctrine, which exacerbated the recession in 1929. Under standard economic models , an exogenous decrease in wages actually shifts the aggregate supply curve to the right, increasing production. Funny that people here should support this notion which has never been co... |

| So what was the point of referencing how Henry Ford increased his profits by raising wages if you're just going to say companies should reduce their profits? That was not my point at all. My point was that America became an economic superpower because of Fordist economic policy. Fordism (i.e. doubl... |

| You don't need a resistor on your primary side. Just hook it straight up to the power source. The currents through transformer windings are related by the reciprocal ratio as the voltages (so that power is conserved). In other words, Np/Ns = Is/Ip. So if you have a transformer with 5 turns on the pr... |
