Yes, and the entire world is stupid. But I pray that Bush wins. I have
this great design in mind of a swastika and stripes flag, and I hope to
make a million bucks selling this new U.S.A. flag. I really hopes he wins,
otherwise I'm stuck with the merchandise.

Maybe your on to something after all.
What you call a "swastika" is the American Indian symbol denoting the rotation
of the stared in the heavens, the passage of time. It would be truly an
American symbol and get ride of the bias created when people can not separate
an ancient honorable symbol from a political extremist who abused it.

The Elephant and Donkey, and the swastika need to returned to symbols worthy of
respect!

The swastika symbol probably originated in Asia. Look at Buddhist
temple in Korea, Japan etc.

In case you'd care to surprise the living fuck out of all of us and

Can anyone help me designing peak detector for signal ranging from 0 - 5

500uV across it? Yes, I'd like to see the design.

Yes, one zero adjusts the amplifier before using the current source.

Since that time many many years ago I have obtained sensibly-large
resistors, 100G, 1000G, etc., simplifying the task. The 1000G parts
are marked 1T0, which is pretty cool.

Hi Michael,

The RWWV receives only 10 MHz (WWV) NBS, not 60 KHz WWVH, so it would
not fit the OP's need. That said, it is a nice - if somewhat expensive
- little receiver. Back in '94 I incorporated it in a self setting
clock of my own design.


I wonder why NIST used different time coding schemes between WWV/WWVH

and WWVB. At least they could have used the same WWVB scheme on the
100Hz subcarrier that is sent along with WWV/WWVH. Then you could use
atomic time even in areas where it is not possible to receive WWVB or
where noise is just too persistent.

Here in the California foothills WWVB is quite a challenge whereas
pretty much all NIST shortwave stations can be received loud and clear
with a little alligator clip wire.

What happens is that the current goes too high on one of the top
transistors, causing the computation to fail. Try putting a 1 ohm
resistor into the base of both Q4 and Q6. That will enable the
simulation to complete without failing. Then, decrease the value of that
resistor, and see what happens. When you get down to some very small
value, it'll start to fail again.

Thanks, Robert, that sorted it immediately!

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is.

Totally fascinating to me at the time (still is).

Greetings!

Ive been looking for schematic to do such and have questions on ones i
have found.

Heres one link im looking at:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/7156/laser6.jpg

Im sorta new with the rs-232/serial communication, and am wondering
about the CTS, RTS, ext... signals and how they dont seem to be used
in the above schematic. Im assuming that CTS, RTS, ext.. are signals
for the recipe of handshaking? What i have in mind is converting
RS-232 from some 1489/1488 IC's to infared, then back to the RS-232
level to feed to another combo of 1489/1488s. With all these different
data lines, how are they combined for one signle infrared signal?
would there have to be seperate IR leds for them?

You might want to check in the comp.robotics.misc news group.
Hobby robotic sites often have good info on making such gizmos.

Well that IS where the American Indians migrated from. so while they had
no written language they did bring some pictographic symbols with them.

No, no, no... According to the liberal, politically correct fanatics, that
cannot be true. The American Indian is called a Native American, because
this is where he came from. You cannot call someone who migrates here, a
Native. .....
........

You have opened a can of worms, because the Native Americans, are not
really Native Americans, but instead, are Asian-Americans who migrated
here. What would be the difference between someone from China who comes
....
Or, we can just go back to calling them what they are...... Indians.

Well, I was born in America, which makes me a Native. ;-)

Hi gurus,

Could you please give your opinions on whether this plugin 7D20 is worth the
purchase for my vintage but very appreciated oscilloscope, Tektronix 7904

I'd recommend posting to the TekScopes group on Yahoo as well. There
are probably a number of 7D20 users who can help with this one.

What no accuracy there.

Most accurate. That is the name the europeans gave them when the began to
populate the continent.

Besides most came from Mongolia!

Absolutely no proof of that whatsoever. Any web page you can provide, I
can provide one that disputes it. No proof at all.

If the come from Mongolia, why are they called Native Americans?

And it was
Christopher Columbus who called them "Indians" since he thought he landed
in India. (He didn't even get to Indiana!)

Even Columbus knew better than to go to Indiana on purpose <g

You must be old enough to have gone to grade school before the government
took over the schools and changed history. Me to, so no need to go over
the obvious.

They should not be called Native Americans, as they are not native to
America. You said it yourself. The Europeans who arrived here named them
Indians, since they had no name of their own to share. Its not an
offensive name, its just the name they were given, and it was not
derogatory when it was chosen.

When you get right down to it, the European settlers are the Native
Americans, as America didn't exist until they named it, and populated it.
Therefore, I am a Native American.

circuit that will do the job, the circuit below connected to a 555

Pin 5 of a 555 sits at 2/3Vcc normally.

Since R1 runs from Vcc, pin 5 may be best left at 2/3 Vcc as this way the
Vcc value cancels in the timing. You may want a smallish cap on Pin 5 to
keep noise out.

I'd suggest to breadboard it to see what it does. I think you may want to
consider something like this:

The ground at the points is not the same as the ground at the 555. There
may be large enough differences to mess up the 555.

John

Here is what he really said:

http://www.newshounds.us/2004/10/27/richard_holbrooke_taken_out_of_context.php

On yesterday’s Big Story with John Gibson, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke
discussed the missing explosives situation. During the interview he made
a statement that the Bush surrogates have taken out of context and are
now repeating ad nauseam to every newsperson who sticks a microphone in
their face. Here are some excerpts from that interview:

In response to Gibson’s statement that the NBC crew didn’t see any UN
seals on any explosives when they traveled near the Al Qaqaa munitions
site, Holbrooke says “That’s not accurate” and goes on to say that the
NBC reporter noted that “they didn’t look very hard and then they moved
on and she didn’t see anything. And that was three weeks later. You and
I don’t know what happened...I do know one thing. In most
administrations the buck stops in the Oval Office. The White House press
spokesman, Scott McClellan, says that President Bush was only aware of
this ten days ago and I’m a little troubled by that..” Later he said:
“You don’t know the truth. I don’t know the truth....If this stuff’s
missing, it’s a direct threat to Americans.”

Later still:

HOLBROOKE: “...But, the President said in the first debate that “Senator
Kerry had the same intelligence that I had.” Do you believe that, John?
I worked in the White House. I worked in the government for 40 years...

GIBSON (interrupts): You’re saying the President knew more than Kerry
learned at the UN, when he went to meet the Security Council?

HOLBROOKE: Of course. The President of the United States - our
commander-in-chief - has

GIBSON (Interrupts again): You’re saying he knew there were no WMD?

(FOX starts playing its “get that guest off in a hurry” music.)

HOLBROOKE (patiently, as if explaining to a particular dense child): No.
I’m saying that when George Bush says that John Kerry had the same
intelligence he - the President of the United States - had, that’s
completely untrue. The fact is that Presidents have intelligence in a
way that no one else has. (Gestures to Gibson) Wait a second - I’m gonna
finish - and secondly that it’s his intelligence. You didn’t have it. I
believed there was WMD. You believed. John Kerry. John Edwards believed
it, but it was the administration’s intelligence.

Comment

On today's Big Story White House spokesman Dan Bartlett jumped all over
Holbrooke's one statement "I don't know the truth" to impugn John Kerry
for attacking the President.

To his credit Gibson did read back the quote and offered his own
explanation for what Holbrooke meant, i.e., that the ultimate
resonsibility for knowing about this lay with the President.
