Schottky diode have a low forward voltage drop (typically \$0.15-0.45V\$) and very fast switching action, as compared to traditional diode, which typically have a \$0.7V\$ voltage drop (Silicon diodes). What is then the advantage of traditional diode as compared to Schottky diodes?
In other words, why don't we always use Schottky diodes if they are so much better? What diode properties do Schottky diodes have that makes them unfit for certain applications?
need to move a domain controller, the first in the forest that holds all the fsmo roles, to another location in a clients building. it will require turning off this dc, call it dc1 for this question. i want to transfer the fsmo roles to a new domain controller call the new one dc2. dc2 is already on the network and has been promoted and made a domain controller, it's dns settings are set and it is also a global catalog (GC). the work is scheduled to be done after hours and i am also planning on moving the dhcp server to dc2.  i am looking for a best practices checklist of things to verify prior to moving fsmo roles and turning dc1 off? as far as i know there are no issues with replication between the dc's. my biggest worry is if i turn on dc1 after moving it and i have hardware issues or boot issues, i would rather move the fsmo roles to a known good one that is a few months old (dc2) vs still using a 5yr old box (dc1), this is part of my migration strategy too.   thanks for the help. How do I move Ubuntu dock to bottom on Ubuntu 17.10 and later? Finding minimal form -- Velleman exercise 1.5.7a How to create a function to sum the required multiple column I have a scenario where i want to sum the multiple column   The data in the file is :  ID|NAME|SAL|COST|PER|TAG  1|A|10|10|20|10|  1|B|10|15|20|10|  1|C|10|17|25|80|  1|D|115|110|20|100|  1|E|10|10|10|10|   i want sum of COLUMN - SAL | COST | PER | TAG   one i did with simple command but how to do by creating function  awk '{FS="|"}{s+=$3}END{print s}' file.txt   The function should be parameterised so that when i pass column name it should calculate sum for that column   The sum column's may differ. their may be requirement like only two column sum needed then it should take the two column names and process the sum for that This is Exercise 26 from Chapter V Algebraic Extensions in Lang's Algebra.  $F$ is finite normal extension over $k$ and $f(x)$ is irreducible in $k[x]$. If $f(x)=g(x)h(x)k(x) \in F[x]$ where $g(x),h(x)$ are monic irreducible factors in $F[x]$, I need to show that there exists an automorphism of $F$ which takes $g(x)$ to $h(x)$.  Any hints would be appreciated.  Sending one root to another is okay but how to do that for a collection of roots? Projecting a point onto a convex set decreases its distance from each point of that set For a convex set $K$, $x\in \mathbb{R}^d$ and $y=\Pi_K(x) $ (the projection of $x$ onto $K$), we want to show that for any $z\in K$ it holds that: $\|x-z\| \ge \|y-z\|$.  $$ $$  I'm not sure if the following proof is valid:  $$ y=\Pi_K(x) = \arg \min_{y\in K} ||y-x||  \Rightarrow \forall z\in K \langle y-x,y-z\rangle =0 $$ $$ ||y-x||^2_2+||y-z||^2_2=||x-z||^2_2  \quad (Pythagoras)$$  $$ \Rightarrow ||y-z||^2_2 \le ||x-z||^2_2 $$ $$ \Rightarrow||y-z|| \le ||x-z|| $$ How can I make a Random Number Generator with vanilla redstone? Inversion in "only [adverb] have they" Does one wing of fly contain harmful microbes and the other contain only antibodies? There was  study but the conclusion and it's source's relability seemed a bit off. How come a house flies one wing contain all microbe and the other don't. How to get coloured terminal over ssh? When I connect over ssh to remote hosts everything is just a single font/color. I would like to have colours like I do locally e.g. green for executable and blue for symlinks etc. And such that when I run $ git diff on the ssh host it shows me diff with colours =) Replace a string in a text file using a shell script not working properly I have a text file containing this:  0 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1.5 0.0 1.0 1   and I want to replace the 1.0 to 2.0 so that it becomes:  0 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1.5 0.0 2.0 1   so I use this command:  sed -i 's/'1.0'/'2.0'/g' /home/user1/file1.txt   or this:  sed -i 's/1.0/2.0/g' /home/user1/file1.txt   but this is the result that appears and I don't know how to fix this:  0 0 -2.0 2.0 0 0 0 -2.0 0 1.5 0.0 2.0 1 How to run a complete GUI as root? I don't care if I mess up the system (which is likely if I do things like this), or the potential security issues that this could imply. Note, that I don't just want to "", but run my GUI from bottom-up as root. I don't want to type my password for anything but just for login and have total control over it.  Of course, I want any application running as root, like Firefox, LibreOffice, etc. without having to mess up with the terminal. So, how do I do this?     This question tries to address users that do not like the current permission system with root being separated from normal users. I do not endorse such behaviors, but if a user wants to, for whatever reason, this question should fit their corncerns.   Not advisable for new users How to prove positive semidefiniteness of two matrices through Schur Complement? Let matrices $X$ and $Y$ be positive semideﬁnite. Show that $X \succeq Y \succ 0$ is equivalent to $Y^{-1} \succeq X^{-1}$.   The teacher tells me that it is easy to prove via the Schur complement. But I could not get his idea. Could anyone help me and give me some intructions? Thanks in advance! Skype doesn't work in Ubuntu 14.04 What is $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n$? I'm asked to find $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n$.  It seems that the sum converges.  I managed to prove that $\forall n,1&lt;\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n&lt;e$  But I don't know how to prove convergence, nor find the value of the limit. How to create a separate subnet for wireless access? I need to configure my wireless router so all wireless devices are on a different subnet (192.168.2.1).

How was Jon Snow able to kill the White Walker in S05E08? How can I propose a new site? I have an idea or subject that should have a Q&amp;A, and want to propose a new site. How can I do this?  Related: Why do we use the object instead of the subject pronoun in constructions like "stupid me"? I'm trying to find out how come we say lucky me and stupid us rather than lucky I and stupid we. My understanding is that this is not a recent invention, but a relic from the distant past where it was a dative construction. However, I don't see the reason for using any case other than the nominative in this construction to begin with.        He went surfing. → Lucky him went surfing.   I got pulled over. → Stupid me got pulled over.   They bought a house. → Thoughtless them bought a house.      This is rather intriguing. After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't come up with any other language, Germanic or otherwise, where simply introducing an adjective would dictate a change of grammatical case. This appears to be an English peculiarity. How far can it be traced back? Can anyone comment on its background? After reviewing ...  I'd like to make an argument for answers that have attained more votes than an accepted answer always be ranked above when answers are being sorted by votes (the default)...     Someone visiting this (older) question expecting a relevant answer would be assuming the big green check mark means that it is the correct answer today when in fact it's the correct answer when the question was originally asked.  Allowing votes to override the asker's time bound response, it allows the best answers to remain at the top and evolve with our ever changing field without requiring the asker to maintain their questions.  This would be a step in the direction of the site's ethos in my opinion, trusting the community to determine the best answer to place at the top for prospective visitors.
