Like Clinshit without the finger wagging? Like Billshit, but not under oath?

Guys, seriously, the political s*it, let it die OK?

Why We're having fun! Why aren't you ?:-)

The flip side of that is coming back to bite Lieberman.

Yup. What's sauce for the goose...

What I find mystifying is: How did the Rhodes Scholar end up smeared with so much s*it over a personal issue and the dim bulb gets a free pass in the press while subverting the Constitution?

OK, but will somebody start an electronics newsgroup somewhere? :) :)

I keep saying, but no one listens... post a real problem and watch it get answered. However there are rules:

No homework problems unless you can demonstrate you really did apply yourself but are still stuck.

No blinking the f...ing LED's ;-)

Make sure it's a real circuit *design* problem... no "I'm in a fog" basics, or "Should I touch these two wires?" ;-)

Lying in a court, under oath, is not a personal issue.

Hello Jim,

Hey, when I kicked the tires of a new uC I didn't want to try that boring blinky-blink. So I wrote a code that makes it do the soft blink, just like on a distant light house. Looks cool :-)

--- Why should we?

Every so often an idiot like you comes along who wants us to shut up and let his masters run the game and pleads for silence. What you've been taught is that "peace" means to not fight.

That is, that not fighting to do it your way will let you live your life like someone else thinks it should be lead.

I'd like to see you dead, toady, today

Mortified, just mortified.

Oh no, you've just shown us how clever you really are.

Did you mathematically model the lighthouse brightness vs. time curve? ;-)

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

Hello Spehro,

Nah, the next light house is too far away :-)

But it would be quite easy to do if that curve was known and the LED current versus output was taken into account. As long as the function can be modeled mathematically since there ain't much memory for tables on these. Probably I am going to have to do something like this to implement a switcher where the output follows a prescribed pattern but the load can vary.

Hello John,

Sorry to burst the bubble here but I saw that word on a weathered bumper sticker of a pickup truck. Not that I liked it at all but it's been there since the last elections...

The reason he was in court was neither a "high crime" nor a "misdemeanor". The reason the "investigation" got started was a FAILED business venture. (IIRC, no malpheasance was demonstrated.) The phrases *witch hunt* and *politically motivated" spring to mind.

The *personal issue* had no bearing on the facts of the case and was introduced to titillate.

Probably not.

Thanks for the advice anyway!

I went to a political flamewar and an electronics newsgroup broke out?

That Clinton dissembled[1] (in a deposition) in a manner calculated to aid the President of the United States prevail over a private citizen (Paula Jones) in civil litigation (sexual harrassment lawsuit)

-- that bothered me. The dilatory tactics, that he took it to the Supreme Court, employing the full resources of his office against a citizen -- that bothered me too. The intern? Bothered me not at all.
