Excerpt:

"FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of one embodiment for the staggered startup of
HDDs 251-254 at an HDD interface. At process block 310, electrical power
is received from the computer system 100 power supply (not shown) at HDDs
251-254. As described above, a platter within an HDD will not immediately
begin the spinning cycle upon being powered up. The spinning cycle will
not begin as long as the RESET signal received from programmable logic 260
is asserted."

Doh!

Interestingly, this is both intuitive and several people here
knew it.

However, do not worry too much about Rod, he is a long-term regular
here and he used to be much worse. Today he often gives reasonable
or even good advice. He just sometimes cannot admit it when he is
wrong.

Some predictable jackass spewing forth the same old drivel because it's too
set in it's ways and unimaginative to come up with something original. I'm
sure the alarming and disturbing "child" reference will follow soon.

What's one of those then? I'm not familiar with the term. It appears to be
meaningless.

Were you bullied at school? Or were you the bully and nobody liked you?
Did your mummy not love you?

There must be some reason(s) for your self-loathing and low self-esteem
which seems to cause you to lower yourself even further into name-calling
and swearing in a technical forum. Does it make you feel grown up and
powerful because you feel impotent and utterly useless in the real world
where you knock on people's doors and then run away? Do you have templates
set up with the insults and abuse pre-populated? It would save a lot of
typing if you did but it would also go some way to indicate how lonely you
must be, tapping away at that keyboard and fondling the only friends you
have, your precious hard disk drives. Oh well, go to your templates now,
choose one at random and hit send if it will make you feel better, important
and significant.

Yep, there it is. Baiting you like this is quite amusing, I think I'll do
some more, but not today, I'm seeing friends today Roddie. Real warm human
friends and not clanky bits of metal that are used to store data. I'll bait
you again when I'm good and ready and you'll respond in the usual way, in
fact I demand it. OK? Do it NOW Roddie, respond NOW from your darkened
room full of disk drives and cobwebs with one of your amusing templates!

Hello, Rod:

In a different post, within this same subject thread, "Bilky White" referred
to you as a "boring cnut."

Okay, what's a "cnut" (boring or otherwise)? It seems that these pompous Poms
can barely master their own language, nowadays!

I mean, people still >do< speak English, in Britain...do they not? <g>

Nar, they never did, just some bastardised form of it.

Blame that on those damned Normans, bloody frogs.
