Isn't that a bit above the flash point of the epoxy package?

TI gives the maximum leakage as +/-1uA at 850C.

Sorry, Sphero, my machine shows that temperature as eight hundred fifty
celsius. It doesn't show the degree symbol ° at all.

Obviously your machine is not only screwing up rending of the "°"
symbol, but also scrambling the spelling of my name.


Yours isn't exactly an easy name though (Hungarian origin?).

It's orginally Greek (and thus subject to transliteration whims), but
I ended up with it because grandpa had it (he immigrated at 9yrs old).
I've decided to end that tradition right here. As in the principle
this enthusiastic Japanese tourist in Africa displays so
magnificently, when in Rome, one should...

Neither is
mine, at least when it comes to pronouncing it.

Something like "Yeurg"? (gutteral eu sound)

I asked a real Hungarian about the proper pronunciation of the unit of
gravitational gradient-- the "eotvos" (after Loránd Eötvös)-- which I
happen to be involved with these days. It's far, far worse than it
looks..

Most newsreaders don't do well for specialty characters. Mine also
showed a zero for the degree sign in your post. The really weird thing:
It did show the correct degree sign in Jim's post but not in yours.

Maybe it's the Canadian character set ;-)

I think mine's set to US, but the Francophones might have some issues.
Usenet is not reliable wrt special characters, but I tend to use the
degrees symbol a lot.. I don't see too many problems. The really
common one I see isn't in usenet at all- in conversion to PDF where
the capital omega symbol (ohms) mysteriously turns into a "W" in some
cases. Since they're both valid units, it might cause some momentary
confusion.
