And I would want to follow his examples/principles - why? The statements that I quoted were from a WWI German military leader probably uttered while Hitler was still a private or corporal. Why do you have to try to misrepresent what I said? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp OK, so maybe I misrepresented your quote "by accident" - big deal. HITLER was still a loser as was/is ANY ONE who bought/buys into that STUPID philosophy you spoke of. Pretty damned sad when you - speaking of ANYONE it applies to - are too "lazy" to "learn". That is almost laughable. Creative thinking - without knowledge? Surely you jest! I'm done arguing with someone who is "too" lazy to "learn". I'd prefer to talk to those who have "intelligence" to refer to - to stimulate the conversation. Good luck in your monologue. L. |

Cecil Moore wrote: Laziness allows one to achieve a goal by the most efficient route. Some famous German military leader said he would lots rather have brilliant and lazy officers than ambitious and stupid ones. As I recall, he was also known as one of the most idiotic strategists the species has ever produced. His "fame" didn't stop him from being the almost single-handed reason his country lost its big war, did it? This was a WWI German officer and I don't recall his name. Why do you think he was an idiotic strategist? Why do you think he single-handedly lost WWI? If you know so much about him, what was his name? Being both intelligent and ambitious doesn't appear on your radar? The pride, lust, and greed usually accompanying ambition are a good percentage of the seven deadly sins. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

Some advanced appliance operators know enough to connect other peripheral devices such as digital mode devices or power amplifiers, but do not know how these devices work, nor how to construct such devices. An amateur radio license is an entry level license. It is not a university degree. When I obtained all amateur privileges at the age of 15, I didn't know squat. All I had done is memorize the ARRL License Manual. Six years later I had a EE degree. What is wrong with learning the technical stuff after one obtains his entry level license? Do you know how to construct an IC-756PROII? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

Even with MIL quality and transparent coatings, the numbers on 1/8 watt resistors are kind of hard to read. Even with the resistor color code, most of us *MEMORIZED* a jingle like: Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly I believe the military used to teach their technicians to *MEMORIZE* that jingle. Exactly how does one develop the resistor color code from first principles? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp How did capacitors escape getting color coded? |
