Soros does not control MOVEON and has no association with it.

Soros has given significant funds to MOVEON (in fact, some if its

early funds.) You prove your dishonesty by ignoring that in your

Yes, folks, this is what it all boils down to. America is seen around
the world as being in bed with Israel and condoning the criminal acts
pupretrated by the Israelis in occupied Palestine. It is small wonder
that America is the prime target for such retribution given it is seen
as being so far up Israel's arse that no foul deed in the territory
seems to merit the slightest rebuke from the Whitehouse. And this real
cause of the trouble is swept under the carpet by our wonderful 'news'
organisations who appear hell-bent on misleading the people. Only by
understanding the root of the problem can we hope to successfully deal
with it.

Lots of people donate to MOVEON- that does not mean they control its
activities. Soros has no control over MOVEON, they are free to do
business as they see fit. Remember- Bush is a dangerous idiot and liar!

Hi,

What is the difference between flash memory and eeprom?

As far as I know, with EEPROM you can erase/reprogramme individual
bytes. You can only erase/reprogramme Flash in banks of many bytes. Use
google for more details.


Which one is more reliable?

No idea - look at some datasheets.

cheers,

Thanks!

Also, if what I've been using is typical, flash has a write-life. That is,
after so many erase/write cycles (50,000) it may begin to fail.

I always work closely with patent attorneys, and pretty-much write the

Are you sure your're resistors are not in backwards?

Define failed. Voltage too low (high). Magic smoke escapes from the part?

You diagram looks good (barring any safety issues with connecting directly
to the AC mains without a transformer) so I don't think the schematic is the
problem.

Check all your wiring and parts orientation and I'll bet you find the
problem.

I'm using an LM4040-5.0 as a 5 volt reference in a circuit tied to the
AC mains that has to be able to run from 80-264VAC.

___ ___
Line ------>|-------|___|---+--|___|------+---+
1N4005 1K | 450K | |
| | |
--- - ---
3.3uf --- LM4040-5.0 ^ --- 0.1uf
| | |
| | |
Neutral -----------------------+-------------+---+

For some reason the LM4040 fails when I apply power to the circuit
(I'm currently using ~120VAC). The 450K resistor should be limiting
the current into the reference to 377ua (170VDC / 450K), well below
the maximum reverse current of 20ma and above the minimum operating
current of 70ua.

Any idea what's happening here?

Dave.

The 74xx373 / 74xx374 was the old solution.

Maxim/Dallas/AD(?) make a serial to parallel I/O expander. Esp.
useful if the I/O is distributed, as in a machine or large
scientific instrument.

Or, as the chorus says, use a PIC.

Bush has failed the American "test" of legitimacy, and it is the duty of
all the citizens to "veto" his Presidency. We have veto power of the

Fine. Just don't set your hopes too high. IME of politics in Little

about the drawing, I'd appreciate it.
I helped write the ANSI Standard for loop-start and ground=start (POTS)
telephone service, and it does not provide for a disconnect polarity reversal.

So I ask again; where did you obtain the information that it does? I saw
another post on another board where the poster was also positive there is a
polarity reversal.

As to the drawing; I didn't consider it any further than seeing one of the
diodes shorted permanently by the wiring.

Certainly not! When Nixon wass president he was called a crook. When
Ford was president he was called a stumbling idiot. When Jimmy Carter was
the president he was called a moron. Reagan was called senile.
With Clinton it was a charge of being a criminal. So calling Bush a
dangerous idiot and liar is as american as apple pie.

crossed. Interesting, I read where it is supposedly required that

bought at BestBuy didn't have one, whereas my other devices all did
(this is something I will be looking for in future purchase). So, if
the phone company can raise my ringer equivalence, I'm going to look
at this phone as a possible culprit.
Just curious.... Do you have any idea what is the distance to your central
office, or what is your off-hook loop current?

Also what is the total of the RENs excluding the phone that doesn't list it?
Does it have a ringer?

Both flash and EEPROM have write lives (in cycles) and data retention

lives (in years). The basic cell AFAIK is the same, so for recent
technology devices they will have comparable lives. The difference is
that the flash part saves a lot of real estate with it's block erase, so
in general if the chip has a lot of memory it'll be flash and if it has
only a little it'll be EEPROM.

In fact, for "big" chunks of memory I don't know of anything _but_ flash
being currently available, and the little 256-byte 8-pin parts are all
EEPROM for convenience in parameter storage. There are older EEPROM
chips, but that's only because EEPROM came along several years before
flash did.

Republicans have more in common with Al Queda than the democrats by a
large margin.

It was the republicans that started the war to remove Saddam and if things
go as it looks likely, the theocrats will end up running Iraq. If an
election was held today in Iraq, the theocrats would easily win the
majority. The net result of the removal of Saddam is likely to be his
