I don't think "Americans", as they now exist, have the balls for such
an event... nothing left around here but queers, fairies and Democrats

Hi Daniel, you wrote:

I also don't think the US system is so far gone
that terrorism is the answer.

The "Fifth of November" poem I posted wasn't intended to encourage
terrorism. Just wanted to set that straight.

I think the poem comes from Brit educators who created it as a mnemonic
device for the historical date (Nov 5, 1605) of capture of infamous Guy
Fawkes' for his scheme to bomb Parliament.

Fawkes was sentenced to be "Drawn and Quartered" for his treasonous
activity. He killed himself shortly before the sentence was to be
carried out.

I'm a descendant of the Royal Guard of England during the time that saw
Fawkes' attempt to destroy Parliament.

I posted the poem because OP included a cordial invitation to celebrate
Nov 5th...

Anyone know the V-I behavior of these device?

Colin,

I would recommend with the TI (http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430g2) MSP430 LaunchPad. Cost $4.30 US, delivery within the USA included. It comes with everything you need to get started, Including an excellent Eclipse based IDE, 'Code Composer Studio Version 5). This contains example code in C and assembler for all devices in the family, along with a plethora of tutorials, literature, discussion forums, etc. When you decide to go with this, be sure to download the entire development package from TI, as it contains all that you will need, including the GRACE configuration tool. I was able to create a Pulse Width Modulation package in less than 10 minutes. Without this tool, it would take many hours if not days or longer.

It is basically a full development system which contains:

The LaunchPad development board features:
o 14-/20-pin DIP (N) socket
o Built-in flash emulation for debugging and programming
o 2 programmable LEDs
o 1 power LED
o 1 programmable button
o 1 reset button
Enables development on any MSP430 Value Line device with 14- or 20-pin DIP (N) packages.
The LaunchPad's integrated emulator interface connects flash-based MSP430 Value Line devices to a PC for real-time, in-system programming and debugging via USB.
Includes one mini USB cable to interface with a PC.
Included MSP430G2xx device features:
MSP430G2553IN20 – 16kB Flash, 512B RAM, interruptible GPIOs (capacitive sense-capable), 16-bit timers, 8ch 10-bit ADC, Comparator, Serial Communication (USCI – I2C, SPI & UART) & more
MSP430G2452IN20 – 8kB Flash, 256B RAM, interruptible GPIOs (capacitive sense-capable), 16-bit timers, 8ch 10-bit ADC, Comparator, Serial Communication (USI – I2C & SPI) & more
Included MSP430G2xx devices feature preloaded sample programs.
Free downloadable versions of IAR Kickstart and Code Composer Studio Version 5 integrated development environments are available and include an assembler, linker, simulator, source-level debugger, and C-compiler. These free IDEs are unrestricted on MSP430 Value Line devices.
RoHS compliant

COST: $4.30 delivered (usually the next day by FedEX)

Oh, by the way, this is the lowest power consumption product on the market. Simple Applications can last for years on a single battery, Or you can power from a USB attached to your PC.

L.

Being good with a weapon isn't just a matter of accuracy. It's about being
prepared, when the need arises, without hesitation, to kill.

Which is why the types that have never even been hunting tend to
freeze when confronted. Military training with weapons drills into you
that you shoot first and shoot well, or you die.

That's why I hope the coming depression disintegrates into civil war
when the thieving starts. War removes the hesitation (and the threat
of prosecution).

Guns are cool, but I never liked to kill animals unless they were
serious pests. I can see how Jim would enjoy killing; he still
fantasizes about it, and not just squirrels.

There's a higher incidence of Creutzfeld-Jacob (sp?) disease
among people in the central and south-eastern states who regularly
consumed squirrel brains. I hear it makes a nice omelet if you
don't mind getting "mad cow" disease.

My father used to eat cow brains, scrambled with eggs. I don't
remember ever a mention of squirrel brains as a food item.

My father was 90+ when he died. Never ever exhibited any dementia of
any sort.

Funniest thing I ever did was a gig with a firm doing grocery scoring. A
few facts emerged when we'd score things.

The first thing we noticed was that the minute you added fat, sugar or
salt to something the nutritional score just plumeted.

For example, broccoli by itself scores in the high 90's, but add cheese
and salt to it, and it drops into the mid 20's.

But then there were the outliers - raw polar bear meat and ground
squirrel was fairly nutritious. Weird.
