Since you asked me in such a polite way, I'll tell you. While you were
doing drugs I was involved in top secret national defense projects at
the Hanford Nuclear Reservation after graduating from Oregon State U.
in 1969. I am not a vet and never pretended to be one.

Tom

haha- I like that "involved with" and don't forget "associated with" -
these are typical governmentese expressions meaning you did damned
little other than attend vugraph presentations and get confused- you
were part of a mass of parasitic bureaucratic overhead that produced
nothing except interference and delays in your never ending quest to
achieve presence by making noise. You fool no one- you are worthless now
and always have been.


fredfraud, why don't you tell us what you've been "involved with"
besides illegal drugs?

I certainly am not going to discuss top secret programs on the
Internet, let alone with jerks like you.

There you go again with your pompous and arrogant attitude. You are an
absolute nobody- I'm just not very impressed with your resume. Yawn.

Shamelessly cut and pasted from www.factcheck.org

At the final presidential debate, Bush said Kerry had passed only five

found eleven measures authored by Kerry have been signed into law,
including a save-the-dolphins law, a law naming a federal building, a
law giving a posthumous award to Jackie Robinson last year, and laws
declaring "world population awareness weeks" in 1989 and 1991.

End----

Wow that's quite a career! If you subtract the completely meaningless
bills, Bush was right declaring 5 bills total for Kerry. That's one
bill every 4 years. One would have to conclude that the Senator's
positions were too extreme for 20 years having both party's in a
majority in congress. This man is not a concensus builder by any
means.

If you want to know the truth (which, apparently, a WHOLE LOT of
people don't), a man who only votes in favor of five new laws in 20
years is exactly the kind of man we need in government, now more
than ever.

If there's anybody who doesn't know by now that "too much government" is
the primary cause of most societal problems, they are in serious need of
medical attention.

Let's see; the web site quoted below says that the first of 102

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?

I keep telling you , there is no such thing as "the" plane.

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.

have wires run to switch or hook up manually one by one when readings
are taken....My understanding (limited) is that I can run thermistors
to a volt meter and temps can be calculated from resitance...is this
correct....we would like to eventually log them with a computer but
that is down the road a bit...thanks again.

Most, if not all answer to temperature measurement can be found at:

http://www.omega.com/temperature/Z/zsection.asp

Omega is very good source for temperature measurement equipment and
will sell to anyone with a credit card.

ebay is not a bad source for industrial instrumentation and control,
with the stuff often going for ten cents on the dollar.

If you can severely over-heat a building with the present
setup (~100C) I would advise not doing anything 'on the cheap'.

I had posted before assuming you were using an RTD
when you used the term 'thermistor'. If you are indeed using
a true thermistor then please ignore most of the previous postings.

OTOH, I would advise using an RTD or thermocouple to measure
temperature with acceptable accuracy and stability. Feed the
temperature sensors into strip-chart data logger - ebay. You should
also have an emergency shut-down and alarming system.

Fred talks about the situation in Iraq *before* the invasion.
You mean back in the "Good Old Days" when rape, pillage, and murder was

Fred does not support such behaviour, and you damn well know that. If
you
try to be funny or smart, well, you failed. Why do you need to point to
events that happened 12 or more years ago? Why not repeat the more
recent
event, such as the behaviour of American prison wards in Iraq? That's
an equally silly argument. The point is, there was no reason to invade
Iraq. Admit it or drop dead, after you have closed the door behind you.
I am sick and tired of your kind of disgusting characters.

I get the impression Clarence and his ilk are of the attitude, "Well,
he killed lots of people, so it's OK for us to kill lots of people too!"

The point is, if a dictator *somewhere* kills thousands, you go in
immedeately, if you want to pretend playing the good sameritan. Give
or take a few months to get organized. But it is not a valid excuse
after 12 years. It is as simple as that.

hi

I want build a power amplifier for a video signal from a ccd camera
I don't know what is the information I need to do this ?
&what is the steps?


note : I want make it as push-pull amplifier and I select the
transistor c1815 as the 1st stage & 2n2222 as the 2nd stage if this
is wrong what the right transistor number I can use & how I select it


thank you for any help
yar

Don't know anything about the C1815, but I have built wideband amplifiers
and found the 2N2369 to be much superior to the 2N2222 as far as bandwidth
goes; that is, if you can live with the 15 V breakdown.

My memory might be defective, but isn't the 2N2369 a gold doped transistor?

(Gold doping apparently used to be used to mitigate some of the storage
issues for saturated switching?) AFAIR, the gold doping would also likely
increase the noise from the part (probably LF noise). For full 1V
video, that isn't likely a major problem, but I wouldn't use a gold
doped part even for moderately low noise apps. (This is from deep, dark
recesses of my memory, and might be confused with something else.)

I do remember that I had played with the old, one/two transistor FM
transmitter thingies (this was about 40yrs ago), and the 2n706 (also
a gold doped part) seemed to be fairly noisy at audio, even though
it was the oscillator.

Again, I know that the circuit might not be used in an application
where low noise is very important, but it is possible that such a
component MIGHT have some small effect on SNR if you are using less
than full 1V vidoe levels.

The world situation, and American politics, and all that crap, is nothing

Their real statement is a rag on the "Film Actors' Guild", or F.A.G., of
which Alec Baldwin is in charge, who did not in any way give his
permission or allow his likeness to be used in the movie, along with
about two dozen other F.A.G. actors, who are mentioned in the disclaimer
at the end of the flick.

Technically, it was superb, almost up there with "Total Recall" or "The

It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me laugh and cry simultaneously,

I just saw it today, too. In spite of my earlier misgivings, my wife and I
worked it out. We went to a multiplex and she watched another movie while
I watched _Team America: World Police_

I laughed pretty hard. I don't think I've seen much of Southpark, so I'm
not sure how similar in tone the movie is, but the movie really made me
laugh.

Of course, if you have been conditioned into noticing political
incorrectness, it could be hard to enjoy the movie. The way the middle
easterners and Kim Jong Il spoke would be deeply offensive to culturally
sensitive people. (Kim Jong Il babbled in Chinese-sounding intonations,
but Korean is not an intonated language. When he spoke English
he had a cartoonishly exaggerated accent. Meanwhile, all of the middle
easterners, when they were supposed to be speaking arabic, I guess,
grunted incoherently except for when they said "jihad" and "allah.")

I think if they see the troops really going, most of them might be
persuaded to back off - they only want their homes and churches back,
after all.

Some shots will still be fired at their backs.

So Make a Statement. Have all the soldiers lie face-eown on the ground,
and belly-crawl out of the country. Make a _STATEMENT_. "To show the
sorrow and humiliation that we feel in the admission of the atrocities
committed by the insane former commander, we will leave the country on
foot, and ask that you please not shoot leaving soldiers in the back,
because the World knows you're better than that, and the individual
soldiers were only following orders."

Then arrest the ringleaders of the neocon cabal and turn them over to the
World Court for trial, conviction, and hanging. No, actually, I should
just say "execution," because beheading might be more appropriate for
some of them.

And, yes, John Larkin, Yes, I'm advocating killing them. But it's OK,
since they've been turned by Evil, and their Will was lost already anyway.
Unless they make the Conscious Act of Choice, and Redeem their own Denial
Light, of course. Which would make them stop killing, AFAIUI.

If you kick a dog and then stop kicking it, it is still likely to bite
you. Even if the US started doing everything right, deaths would

And this attitude of yours of considering these people to be dogs, is
very very ill, and probably evil.

I don't see how you get that from my post. I was making an analog between
the situation in Iraq and the person who kicks the dog. ie: It would be
fairer to say I characterized someone as the sort who would kick a dog.

OK, sorry. I misread your POV here.

If I get it now, you're denigrating the kicker, and the kicker's attitude.
In that case, we're in line here.

But still, the sane way to deal with a dog, angry or not, is _NOT_ to keep
taunting it and swatting at it and claiming moral superiority over it and
doing all heavens knows what-not that's against his nature, under the
