| waltman | Very sad news. I only met him a few times, but he seemed like a great guy. | 12:40 |
| JonathanD | He was a great guy. | 12:42 |
| waltman | ok, off to the train. later. | 12:42 |
| JonathanD | I saw him 2 weeks ago at hive open house. At the time I mentioned he should come out to north some time to hang out. He said all thsoe smart people in one room made him not feel very bright. But he was a very bright guy himself. | 12:43 |
| JonathanD | I'm glad I went down that day. | 12:43 |
| waltman | JonathanD: I kind of felt the same way when I visited hive :) | 13:39 |
| waltman | Oh, and if there's one thing I've learned working with electrical engineers the past couple of years, it's this: it's always the capacitors that go in HDTVs :) | 13:41 |
| InHisName | their MTBF is the worst of the componets used in circuits. All these years since my schooling and only a small improvement in that. | 17:33 |
| waltman | For the one that they worked on in my lab, they determined it wasn't so much the capacitor itself, but rather it was a design flaw and they'd used one whose capacity was too low. | 17:48 |
| waltman | They replaced it with a higher capacity capacitor and it worked fine. | 17:48 |
| JonathanD | you can often fix TVs that way. | 17:55 |
| JonathanD | or LCDs | 17:55 |
