Repub financed voter drives toss registrations from Democrats!
Repubs openly discuss supressing votes.
Repubs try and put citizen questioners into polling places to slow up the lines
making it harder to vote, and I'm sure they would be in democratic districts.
Repubs gerrymander Texas to get more repub house members.
Tom Delay openly bribes a congressman for a vote by offering $100,000 for the
election campaign of the congressmans son.
In oregon a Republican party lawer is demanding that all newly registered
voters supply writen proof of citizenship in their first mail in ballot.

In Florida a newspapers investigation stops the state from resticting tens of
thousands of mostly Black voters for being felons when they are not. Only a few
Hispanics are on this list. They pulled this same shit in 2000, and they tried
it again this year.

In Oregon the Republican party mailed out a booklet that looked just like the
offical Oregon Voters Booklets.

You Repubs have shown us all what pissing on the constititution is. You
Righties just love to accuse the other side of all your fauts. You really are a
bunch self blind one trick attack ponies.

From Drudge:

NBCNEWS: CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ BEFORE TROOPS
ARRIVED...

The NYTIMES urgently reported on Monday in an apprent October
Surprise: The Iraqi interim government and the U.N. nuclear agency
have warned the United States that nearly 380 tons of powerful
conventional explosives are now missing from one of Iraq's most
sensitive former military installations.

If they disappeared long before the coalition troops arrived, That would
have been under Saddam's regime. He'd have moved them someplace, so
where are they?

If they were pinched as the troops were advancing, how did a bunch of
insurgents manage to haul 380 toms of anything around without our
knowledge? That would be a sizable convoy. One which any military
leaders would need to be aware of, particularly if it was headed their
way.

If they disappeared over time after the occupation, it not only
demonstrates the military's incompetence, but calls 'the search for WMD'
into question. If we had no idea what was in one of Saddam's bunkers or
when it disappeared, how could we be expected to find WMD? Answer: There
was no search conducted, because the administration knew the answer.
Just like OJ, searching for the real killer.

The fragmentation of news sources on the web and cable TV means you

Speak for yourself, idiot! That is not how one would conduct an
investigation. The approach is to work the research from both angles: 1)
the explosives were removed prior to 20 Mar 2003 invasion, and 2)
explosives were removed by insurgents sometime after the occupation was
complete. Now that the news media has had time to review their archives,
and these are archives produced by *embedded* reporters it has become
clear that : 1) all the advance military units had no interest in the
explosives content of Al-Qaqaa, 2) all advance military units had no
orders to secure the facility, 3) no US military unit was ever assigned
to secure the facility at any time, 4) two videos by newscrews have been
found which show IAEA seals intact on the bunker doors- and these from
the early April 2003 timeframe, 5) one embedded news story from 5 April
2003 describing finding thousands of vials of "white powder" suspected
of being chemical weapon material- but later found to be RDX. There is
also no dispute that the facility was never secured and it was in fact
looted- see David Kay remarks. On the side of hypothesis 1) by the Bush
administration and the Pentagon - there is no dispute that it all boils
down to inference. The military commanders on the ground cannot say
whether the explosives were there or not in the April 2003 timeframe.
All they can offer is the inference that , in their view, it would have
been impossible for a large scale removal of the explosives going
undetected by the heavy US military presence in the are at the time. But
then again, these are the same people who have drawn so many
wrong-headed inferences in the past that lack credibility. It is not
looking good for the Bush administration, and Al-Qaqaa was just the big
one- the CIA has said that there were 10,000 ammunition depots
throughout Iraq left unsecured and ultimately "looted". Haha!- They
*wish* they were just looted. The fact is that it was an organized
recovery of war fighting materials by the centralized insurgent
leadership. The US had absolutely no clue what was happening right under
their nose- well they do now!

Does anyone know how they acchieve the 600VRMS isolation with the aid

How is the isolation done inside the scope? Its quite cheap, around

How about a differential input amplifier?

It is very true that Kerry is an admitted de-facto war criminal, or

Another dictionary error for Dyson. His dictionary says that "It is very

Kerry was a wanna-be who was willing to damage his own reputation

Now, you claim without any proof, that you know his motives.

It is probable that the ONLY way that Kerry might be selfless is
to damage his own reputation in order to deeply emotionally or
politically wound other people.

Yeah right!

It really doesn't make alot of
sense for Kerry's motive to have been to damage other soldiers

It is more likely that his main motive was to stop the filthy war.

but also a traitor against the US government.

This has been proven false repeatedly in this news group. The goverment

Well then, I humbly retract my statement. I remember reading about a
polarity reversal before this, but I most recently got this
information from a phreaking text file on plans for a diverter, which
I had based my design sketches on. The article can be found here:

http://mvb.saic.com/freeware/vmslt99b/phrack/phn-diverter.txt

Here is another example of an article I had lying around in which
polarity reversal is mentioned:
"There is no guaranteed (single) way to determine when a call was
terminated at the far end. Depending on the switch type you need to
look at loop break (loss of loop current), change of DC polarity, dial
tone, stutter dial tone, and/or silence. If you want to do something
for unknown lines on unknown switches then you will need a combination
of the above."

(from http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/teleinterface.html )

In your original post you mention detecting disconnection of either line. I
think you only need to detect disconnection of the incoming / originating
line because the originator alone should control the call. Since there is
no guaranteed way to determine when a call was terminated at the far end,
the best you can do is rely on observed behaviour. You could do an
experiment to see if your local exchange provides either a polarity reversal
or a momentary loop break.

There is no "standard" way. If you have a bunch of 555's then something

I'm not so sure. He was always swimming against the main
stream. He's comparable to Michael Moore, but not for his
thoughts, on the contrary. Incredibly rude too. I like to
think that he was mainly interested in shaking the public,
to make them thinking rather than converting them.

The mayor of Amsterdam was so pissed that he asked the
public to go out and make as much noise as possible, with
pots and pans and anything that suits the purpose. Theo
van Gogh was the national symbol of 'Freedom of Speech'.
He has written columns for many newspapers and magazines,
but always got fired in short time.

You can also buy ferrite polymer sheets that can be detail-punched

If it was just for low frequencies, I'd use soft iron.

Hi Norm,

Since these are essentially FETs the current highly depends on process
tolerances. So they are screened parts or parts from screened wafers,
concepts that aren't always conducive to cheap mass production.

Except for very few applications I consider them 'boutique parts'. Nice
concept but at those prices I am not going to use them. I do my current
sources the ol' way, from scratch with two transistors and a couple
resistors. That comes to less than 10 cents. These versions are also
mentioned in AoE ;-)

Were the Current Regulating Diodes simply a good idea that never made it in
the marketplace?


I think you have a point there. The same goes for some of those 'panacea

chips' that try to solve a whole barrage of tasks at once but only for a
tiny sliver of a market. They often tend to be short-lived as a product.
When you suddenly need half a truckload of such devices you might just
get a blank stare.

currently have the 7A26, 7A18, 7B80, 7B53 plugins for it and want to expand

IMO, a very useable, inexpensive addition to your 7904. My 7D20 catches all
