content: Pcb design magazine had an article this week about another problemFlux remnants under smd capacitors can react and cause a wire to grow on the surface of the capacitor,eventually shorting out the cap. Ceramic capacitors are affected. The tin seems to like the surface structure and stick to it...

content: He filmed someone's lecture at a conference. I think there was a misunderstanding and he didn't have permission to upload it publicly in the first place. So yeah.

content: I could post it publicly but I honestly don't think it would be fair for Dave. It's his recording, he did agree to take it down on those guys' request so...if people are really interested in the video and have some contributions here I'm willing to give them a copy.

content: I did not check for the video , yet , but did look in my finder and I did download the article .But I would guess that would be bad since the video is taken down .Not sure if making it available somewhere else is an issue , I do not have a website to post it on ?NASA - seems to me is a publicly funded / owned , so there info belongs to the taxpayer , but that concept is not worth fighting by myself .When is the next tea-party

content: Quote from: mariush on April 05, 2014, 03:34:05 pmOh, you're right. I didn't think about that. Request taken.I thought someone from youtube took it off without his permission (by law/process request or something).
