Agreed.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

I've been a great fan of eclipse for years, and it has only let me down once. A few days ago it crashed and lost the workspace, but fortunately not the projects, so I just had to recycle and refresh. Great for Java, Android, and in the past C++. Although I still hanker after the good old days of using emacs.

Another vote for the Atom Editor (http://atom.io[^])
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's not Eclipse that's broken.
It's all of Java. I've had it. Java just needs to stop. It needs to not be. It needs to go and meet its maker.

Me! 
My last phone (Windows Mobile 5) was over ten years old before I retired it (and got an Android phone to replace it) - and it still looked and worked like new!

I had an office mate that was obsessed with having the latest and greatest iEverything.
He ordered in advance of launch and disposed of the previous model as soon as he could find a buyer.
Since he loaded everything to the max and just wanted to get rid of the old stuff some people made some pretty good deals to get the previous model.
He didn't seem to mind wasting money as long as he had the latest and greatest.
So I do know there are people like that out there. I think one iPhone was actually less than a year old.

My second and third addictions are cycling and running other than programming.
Is there anyone else (found Mr. Maunder already) on Strava (if you are not into cycling you will not know what strava is otherwise you shoudl know).
I am going to create a codeproject club on strava.

I'm into cycling as well but I'm old-fashioned and therefore I think Strava is the devil's work No, seriously, I even had professional ambitions in my youth, but now I just enjoy riding without being addicted to measure and optimize every parameter there is.

Hi All,
Odd non-code based question "can anyone here (Mike, Griff et al.) recommend a web site that gives details of multilayer PCB, I need to refresh on the design principals before an interview. I just want to know when is the correct time to multilayer a board, my answer was going to be when the track width is such you can't fit any more on one layer. I'm guessing there is a better judged answer...

Even our simple boards are two layer. I would say its probably a cost related issue, more layers = more cost. The software can make use of as many layers as specified.
If its an RF type board or noise sensitive circuit then throw in an extra one or two for a ground plane.
Do you want me to send you the LAYOUTZ? Is it URGENTZ?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, know that, also the controlled length for RF (to balance impedance) I was just looking to see if there was a site or page anyone knew of, if memory serves TI used to have something...
|
|

It depends, obviously you do not want sensitive front end circuitry to be bombarded with EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) so a multi layer board that includes a ground plane would provide EMI shielding. This is true in the reverse for circuits that emit a lot of noise such as power supplies or switching circuits.
It used to be a cost factor issue but over time this is generally no longer a large cost increase. 4 layer PCBs are very common even for simpler circuits.
A couple of things to consider.
Good luck on the interview.
