Aye! WTF :) I understand it but the terms are reversed. For instance,
out is crediting. This is because (so I've been told) that it is from
the "bank's" point of view. Go figure why that is useful :)

It's quite simple. All money comes *from* somewhere, and goes *to*
somewhere else. Conservation of finance! :-D
The part I can't figure out is how you do the accounts of a company, and
they end up with more money than they started out with, even though it
hasn't apparently "come" from anywhere... Accounting is weird!

On most new cars the entertainment system must function correctly for supply
voltages over a very wide range, like down to 6 or even 4 volts, and up to
16 or 18 volts. This means that the radio (and all the other stuff like
satnav, climate control display etc) won't turn off while you start the car.
In the past the radio wasn't specced this high, and it was ok to only work
down to say 10 volts. Of course this meant that when you started the
engine, the voltage dropped down to 6 or so volts and the radio turned off.

Nope! I'm not going down that road. Ultrarelativistic particles, I'll
stick to Newton thank you very much :)

Yeh! But try explaining that to a hairy (something-ed) engineer who
doesn't want to put your system in, in the first place :)

Interesting. I've never seen any car where turning the ignition
*doesn't* disable all the other electrics in the system [including the
headlights].
As I understand it, turning the starter motor requires a massive amount
of current, and is essentially the *only* reason a car has such a
whopping great battery in the first place. (Certainly it's not necessary
just to run the spark plugs... or even the headlights...)

Uhhh.... No, not really. :-) Indeed, electrons aren't even guaranteed
to move forward in time, let alone in a smooth straight line.
Oh, I guess maybe Newton's laws apply as long as there are no virtual
exchange particles around. And the electron doesn't spontaneously turn
into a couple of photons and back.

No, I didn't. It's clear the RMS won't be mentioned. I was more worried
if they'll mention more than 2,5W total output, since it's pretty much
impossible (from one USB-connector you can get 500mA of 5V max.).

I have a book on accounting software that has a page designed to be torn
out that says
"You must memorize this:
Account Credit Debit
Assets Decrease Increase
Expense Decrease Increase
Libilities Increase Decrease
....
