It was not an oversight, however since you asked: http://blog.softwaresafety.net/2013/04/magic-smoke-resistors...

Have you tried a backwards polarity tantalum capacitor? I've seen those go off just on their normal voltage when installed backwards. Sometimes immediately and other times with sig…

This reminded me of a Blog entry I wrote about in 2013 on "Massive Electro-Pyrotechnic Initiator Chip Resistor (MEPIC)". These are 0805 chip resisters that are by design meant to l…

It is a good history. Alas in the bizzarro legal landscape of today some places ban such notebooks under the Federal Rule of 26. That leads us to directly to 2028 – A Dystopian Sto…

I remember seeing in a Popular Electronics Magazine, in the late 60s or early 70s, stating "There will never be a Blue LED". Despite looking I've not found that issue again.
