Actually now he is a bigger threat. He may become a rallying cry. He may
get found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He may break out
and make the US look silly. He may die in jail and the rumor get started
that he was murdered by someone. He might bite on of the guards. He may
set the jail on fire.

Let's see; the web site quoted below says that the first of 102
B52H's was delivered in May 1961, and the last was delivered in

Force inventory. Therefore in 2044 *all* of the planes still in the
inventory will be slightly more than 80 years old. Looks like John
got it right to me.

That 80 year nonsense is some kind of fuzzy-headed anthropomorphism of
the actual bomber and has nothing to do with the engineering reality.


What does engineering reality have to do with the age of the
planes? The planes were built in about 1961 and John said that they
would be 80 years old in 2044. He didn't say anything about
accumulated flight hours, operational life or anything else of the
sort. He just said they would be 80 years old. Is this not true?

Have you ever in your miserable life heard of something called scheduled
replacement maintenance?

Can't you answer a direct question? Will the planes be 80 years
old in 2044 or not? Replacing some parts doesn't change the age of
the planes, does it? I suppose if they replaced the whole plane
maybe, but that's not what you're talking about, is it?

The Air Force logistics O&M is in fact 90 years- and that is all that
matters. The existing fleet could top out in four years of high
intensity conflict.

Induced eddy currents in aluminium will oppose the driver current, and thus
be repelled.
You can push-launch aluminium rings off a pulsed coil that way.

Yes, and if lathe-turned to an airfoil cross section, such a ring can be made
stable in flight. There is a ring airfoil toy called a Tubee, I think, made
from the top section of an aluminum beverage can. I am thinking of something
with more mass as a demonstrator. If a supply of "ammunition" were required,
the toy would be the ticket. You'd wind a coil to suit.

A serious weapon capable of injury with a massive ring. Less penetrative than a
bullet, but capable of bruising a chest or cracking a skull.

Looking toward the extremes, a ring airfoil made of magnesium instead of
aluminum could lathe turned to a ram cannon projectile shape. Such a ring,
lined with a pyrotechnic, could self-ignite from ram air pressure if launched
at hypersonic speed, and self-accelerate, using its mass as fuel, to extreme
speed, or in order to maintain the intial speed. On impact, it would be
pyrophoric. Certain adjustments would be needed in size, shape, and mass to
acheive sustained flight without burnout, for use as a weapon, or to maintain
assured burnout for use as a signal or distraction. If fired at an incoming
heat seeking missile, such a ring would provide an effective, fast moving,
concentrated, hot, brilliant distraction that might save the life of a pilot in
a combat situation.

Speaking of cheap micros, are there any that can be programmed with

board for the Motorola 68HC705, but it's kind of a PITA - a naked

cable and a flying ribbon cable and plug to plug into the target
system. But I've had the GUI for it up about a couple of times, and
got to the point where I could run their example blinking LED, but
I got sidetracked and it's been collecting dust for about 4 years.


Why has no one mentioned that many flash PICs have a low voltage
programming
mode. You need a programmer to set it. But once set, that PIC, for ever
more
(or at least until you disable it), can be programmed at operating voltage
(5V
usually) and serial data.

I prefer high-voltage programming even when low-voltage programming
is possible. That way I don't "lose" the RB4 pin for general usage.

With HV ICSP, you don't lose any pins (although there are
some easy-to-meet constraints on what you do with RA5/MCLR, RB6 and RB7).

I also prefer to use hi voltage programming (again so I don't lose an I/O) but
Rich specifically asked what micros could be programmed just with 5 volts and
serial data.

The point is, if a dictator *somewhere* kills thousands, you go in

after 12 years. It is as simple as that.

I am wanting to build a simple RF amplifier to boost the signal to my
television, and then use the knowledge I gained in that project to build a
second RF amplifier to boost and filter the signals I receive on my
Shortwave radio (which I connect to a random-wire antenna up on the roof.)
I have a background in electronics (with the exceptions listed earlier) and
would like to keep on learning in this new direction. I do have a simple
workshop set up (again, after 20 years) and am basically seeking to pick up
the hobby again.

I realize I started out by making a fool of myself, but really am serious
and would appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Thanks,

Well, all I was really trying to say was "Make a data stream that you can

The Pulse Transformer should rise up pulses with voltage of 20kv to
100kv with a rise time of 0.3-0.4 micro seconds and pulse width of 3-4
micro seconds

which kind of insulator should I use for high voltage side? I saw that
most of insulators have a voltage standing of 30v/mil, but that needs

30v/mil is too low. Look again.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The plane carrying Democratic vice presidential

Tony & his cronies said no tax rises. They still managed to load us with
60 of them in only 2 terms of government. If Kerry's anything like Tony,
you're in for some whoppers. And some tax rises too.

It's actually anyone's guess. The tough part about making any numerical
projections on revenues is this so-called changed taxpayer behavior and
incomplete statistics on the taxpayer base. This refers to those
entities under the new plan who reconfigure their incomes so as to
minimize their tax burden- usually the people at the income boundaries
where the tax cut will be rolled back. The US tax code is so complicated
that even the most sage experts find this impossible to predict, but the
historical record is not good, and that is the actual revenues are
usually 30% of projected. Then when you get into areas like the health
insurance plan and its consequent cost, the predictions become even more
nebulous. Kerry mentioned during the debates that one of their
considerations in projecting the cost of the new health insurance plan
was the savings realized by better plans which allow people to receive
early diagnosis and treatment of an illness before serious symptoms
appear which require a much more expensive medical treatment. This is a
convincing argument and has been used by the clinical medical research
establishment forever and continuously to obtain insurance treatment
coverage for more preventative medical intervention- everyone benefits
and the long history supports this. From what I know the Democratic
Party is historically much more in line with the scientific practice of
medicine than the Bush administration. One example of this would be the
Clinton administration funding of sex education and condom giveaways to
NGOs fighting the battle against AIDS. The Bush administration killed
all this and its place funded some kind of weak poster advocating
abstinence. This is just NOT realistic, and it's just another example of
a moral imperative overriding science, plain common sense, and good
judgment. I'm not even going to get into the stem cell research fiasco.
The record is clear on the new Republican party, these are the most
moralizing, ignorant, socially insulated , interfering, and judgmental
incompetents to ever get control of government- it will take years to
undo all of their damage. And when you think about all of their
well-known problems with substance abuse, sexual deviance, criminal
conduct, and corruption- it's just too much.
