I have very long hair and I know this effect when photographing. With the
wind from back you better make a horsetail or braid.

I dont think this was taken hand-held, it was afaict an automated
sequence. I guess somebody could have been there though...

Hi
You can easily compare various oscilloscopes at
the test and measurement equipment buyers guide site
http://www.testbuyer.com
Regards

Various, meaning only the ones who've paid for the advert. At this point, that
doesn't include Agilent, Fluke, Tektronix, Philips, or any of the other major
manufacturers of test equipment.

I thought this business model was obsolete. Have a nice day.

Just because it can be created digitally doesn't mean it was.

How do you explain the flash and cloud of smoke?


Actually, digital photography kinda sucks because now there is always
this doubt as to authenticity. I share your skepticism. But we still
should be careful about the logic employed.


Good day!

Yes, of course it can be faked. But if you read the APOD description,

"The photographer insists that the streak and flash on the above image
has not been created digitally."

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap041207.html

So you have to believe it was not faked.

An insect flying near the lens seems a good explanation. Now, I invite
you to tell us what kind of insect it was, and how long it survived after
the shutter was closed before it was eaten

Best Wishes,

Mike Monett

The native species favor an environment without people. The HOSP thrive
only where there are people. Maybe a bio-terrorist will someday set
things right again but in the meanwhile I'm not going to allow the
other species to be driven out. Should be far more humane than
shooting, trapping or poisoning. Neutering them is not an option. Maybe
you are also a vegetarian so as to not cause any animal suffering?

I appears that Mr. Bemelman cannot count. I have used exactly two
text strings in my "From:", and wouldn't have changed it at all if
not for finally discovering, after a long search, some software
that cannot handle the invalid "From:" I used as an experiment.

I am now in the process of converting all of my systems to the
new "From:", and do not anticipate any further changes.

 

[Tom Knight]

In addition to what Tim writes, you should also check the Iol of the
processor. TTL inputs source significant current, and, especially
with the addition of a pullup resistor to +3.3 you should check that
the output pad can pull it all the way down. The size of the resistor
should be chosen to load the output pad near capacity, likely, if you
are concerned about output speed, since the risetime will be
controlled by the resistance of the pullup and the parasitic
capacitance of the wiring and pads.

Not good since it might get into the food chain.

Actually, Tom Lehrer wrote it.

I guess I'm showing my age. I'd assumed that no engineer would not have heard
of Tom Lehrer. He's a mathematician who attained his PhD at Harvard, and
incidentally also a satirist who had something of an on-again-off-again musical
career in the '50s and '60s. As far as I know, he's still teaching math at UC
Santa Cruz. He'd be in his mid-seventies now.

Here are some links. Personally, I always thought he was the funniest guy in
the known universe (at least until I started reading newsgroups ;-). I've got
his albums, and listen to them a couple of times a year.

By the way, I figured the OP was tongue-in-cheek, so I responded in similar
fashion. No offense meant, either to you or to sparrows.

Finally, one particular troubling area is interfacing the I2C bus. It
will see a 3.3 volt device, two 5 volt CMOS devices, and one TTL. Since
this is a bidirectional bus things really get messy. Max has some
devices to do this, but I don't know how well they work, or if there is
a better alternative?
