Gentlemen, Does anybody know how to switch 89C51Rx2 into 12-clock mode? M.P.
What is it coming to I am sure that Mikhail in his response in french indicated that the language in this forum is english, although Keil is a german company. I guess it is no coincidence that Chauvin (from whose name "chauvinism" comes) was french Erik If I happen to be in France I will do my best to speak french, if in Germany I will do my best to speak German but I consider it the ultimate insolence to try to force a language on another (in this case the Keil forum).
"I consider it the ultimate insolence to try to force a language on another (in this case the Keil forum)." Oh, don't be ridiculous. If two people prefer to communicate with each other in another language on this forum there is no reason whatsoever why they should not do so. Stefan
I apologize for using inappropriate language, it was really personal. But there is the second part of my post in English. Has anybody got something to say on this subject? M.P.
Stefan: If two people prefer to communicate with each other in another language on this forum there is no reason whatsoever why they should not do so. Let us take the following exchange Stefan: How do I do x Erik: du tager an kniv og skaerer forbindelsen mellem modstand nummer 4 og chip ben 27 Stefan: thank you, it solved my problem Where would that leave the rest of the forum members? Mikhail I apologize for using inappropriate language, it was really personal. But there is the second part of my post in English. Has anybody got something to say on this subject? No Apology needed, you were courteous, the original "language switcher" was the one that blew it. Re what you refer to: More and more we expact that our problems will be resolved by somebody other, so-called specialists. And we the specialists will eventually retire, what then?. Those that have their "problems resolved by specialists" will not be specialists since they never acquired problem solving skills. Erik
"Where would that leave the rest of the forum members?" Who cares? The questioner has a solution. If your argument is that English-only speakers are excluded think how nice it'll be for French-only speakers to have a little bit of resource. "Those that have their "problems resolved by specialists" will not be specialists since they never acquired problem solving skills." Are you saying that the forum is generally a bad thing as it is preventing newbies developing problem solving skills? Stefan
The questioner has a solution. If your argument is that English-only speakers are excluded think how nice it'll be for French-only speakers to have a little bit of resource. 1) I think you do not mean "English-only speakers " but "non-english speakers" and will reply to that. 2) there are other fora that I do not participate in because it is impossible to follow the threads since every other post is in a different language. If the poster do not speak english, how did he know which thread to enter. That said if you can find out what thread to enter it is pure chauvinism to keep your thoughts on the subject secret from the majority. "Those that have their "problems resolved by specialists" will not be specialists since they never acquired problem solving skills." Are you saying that the forum is generally a bad thing as it is preventing newbies developing problem solving skills? Nope, I am responding to the thoughts in Michaels statetement. There is two ways to "help": "give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat for life" More and more posts are of the nature of "give me a fish" and that definitely "is preventing newbies developing problem solving skills" Erik
"I think you do not mean "English-only speakers " but "non-english speakers" and will reply to that." No, I meant what I said. Clearly I didn't understand the point you were making in your previous post, can you explain it again? Stefan
Clearly I didn't understand the point you were making in your previous post, can you explain it again Stefan, we both have (tried to) make more than one point in this discussion, exactly what point do you refer to? Erik
"Stefan, we both have (tried to) make more than one point in this discussion, exactly what point do you refer to?" The following bit: "Let us take the following exchange Stefan: How do I do x Erik: du tager an kniv og skaerer forbindelsen mellem modstand nummer 4 og chip ben 27 Stefan: thank you, it solved my problem Where would that leave the rest of the forum members?" I take this to mean that you think all discussions should take place in english *because* those who only speak english would otherwise be excluded from the discussion. I replied that I think the most important issue is that the questioner has received and understood a satisfactory answer. Stefan
I take this to mean that you think all discussions should take place in english *because* those who only speak english would otherwise be excluded from the discussion. I replied that I think the most important issue is that the questioner has received and understood a satisfactory answer. That can be argued. What is the purpose of a forum if not for everyone to follow the discussion. Just visualize: A problem is posted and answered in swahili, the next day the very same problem is posted and answered in spanish, the next day in greek and so on. If these posts had been in the world language (english) anyone after the first question and answer would have the answer at their fingertips. However, what brought me on the soapbox was that the poster could easily have posted in english: quoting from the message tu peux utiliser un logiciel gratuit "Flash Magic" disponible sur http://www.esacademy.com/ c'est un programmeur série ISP. Indicates clearly that the poster can understand english, how else would he be able to use FlashMagic which has only english instructions. If someone is incapable of english, that is another story, but being capable of english and insisting on promoting another language is pure chauvinism (and no surprise Chauvin was french). Erik
"What is the purpose of a forum if not for everyone to follow the discussion." In the case of this forum it would be to minimise the number of technical support calls Keil has to deal with. They get our services for free. Stefan
