When it comes to a matter of incitemnt (or threat) of phyical harm most ISPs

If he's just being obnoxious you have the choice to ignore his posts.

Dave,
I know a good idea when I see one.

I would also like to be the first to offer you products for review, if
you wish to travel along this path.

As you may be aware I run a small family business from Tullamarine
Australia, and am now well past my used by date, but keep plugging away
regardless.

I don't wish to push any specific items on you for review, I would want
you to pick something that is of personal interest.

Please contact me at: support2009 AT dontronics.com if you wish to chat
further on this subject.

Basically I like Phil's concept, but can't see you with a parrot and an
eye patch all the way though the video blog, so you may have to settle
for a photo blowup behind you.

Good luck with it in any case.

Cheers Don...

I've now set up a proper Blog page here:

So you can now subscribe to the RSS feed (top right corner) and have new
videos automatically announced on your iGoogle page or whatever.
Still trying to figure out how the whole WordPress and blog thing works, so
there may be a few hiccups.

Yes, the first one was pretty rough'n'ready, just dug out my old webcam and
started talking. No script, no notes, no planning etc. So there is certainly
room for improvement!
Some editing was done on the Rigol review to fit the whole video into the 10
minute YouTube limit, so I've now posted the full review video on the Blog
site.

I almost like Phil's suggestion of Davey Jones' Locker :->
But I'll stick with EEVblog until something better comes up.

A background of some sort would help, perhaps my work bench. Might have to
see if my old notebook is up to the task so I can record somewhere other
than my drab office wall.

All in all it was pretty good, nothing that further practise and vids
won't knock any rough edges off. Possibly a powerpoint presentation on
a projector to the background would come in handy for each topic and to
display diagrams that are visible to you and can be pointed at when
discussing a topic. You could even have multiple cameras for close ups
and for the work area to avoid having a camera operator.

Personally I think it's a good idea to also parallel post to YouTube
as well as your own site so you can reach a wider audience.

A self oscillating primary to a smallish transformer to charge the storage

If you look carefully enough, a yank engineering rag had one as a project

You probably realised I was going for the straight forward electrocution
by inverter approach, coupled with breaking Gordon's back by the weight,
which I considered a bonus.

Unforunately, I mis-specified the transformer due to inattention, though
it would serve the secondary goal.

For explosive effect (J-Car, for some reason, do not seel pyrotechnics)
I'd opted for running electrolytic capacitors with the wrong
polarisation coupled with considerable out of rating operation. I know
from experience (ie, carelessness) that they go off with a bang. Not
sure about the predictability, though.

A slightly less portable design, but by far more effective. An

**The police are highly trained. They are trained to assess a given

those and other reasons, civilians should not possess deadly (or
other weapons) when going about their daily routine.

Both police and civilians get subject to a rigorous and penetrating
investigative process. But in the absence of wrongdoing, that's as far
as it goes.


The cost to the shooter will be substantial. As it should be.
(Even in the US, it is not legal in many jurisdictions to kill an
assailant, just because a person fears for the loss of property.
You're confusing two situations. If someone has my wallet and is
running away with it, then I cannot lawfully kill them to retrieve
my property.

**Nor should you. Nor should you kill someone, just because they
demand your wallet either.

I wouldn't kill someone just because they demanded my wallet. But if
they make a credible threat to kill me or inflict serious bodily
injury, then I would act to obviate the threat (assuming I were
able), even if that involved killing them. And I wouldn't lose any
sleep over it.
Criminals are profit-oriented. They want to make a profit,
with as little risk as possible. Killing the victim means that they
are far less likely to profit from the crime.

But if someone is threatening to kill me unless I hand over my
wallet, then, since I am under no lawful compulsion to accede to
their request, they're actually making a direct and credible threat
to kill me. I can respond to that threat with lethal force. I don't
have to meekly hand over my property.

**No, you don't. You need to be aware that, by killing another
human, you will be subject to the law and will likely be charged
with (at least) manslaughter.

I don't think that's true. The police know that where self defence is
raised, the prosecution has to negate it beyond reasonable doubt. In
situations where it's credible that the deceased threatened the
accused with death or serious bodily harm (for example, with a gun or
knife), and in the absence of contradictory evidence, no prosecution
is likely.
The cases that go to court are those that lie in the murky area of
excessive self defence (for example, killing an assailant who didn't
represent a serious threat).


That doesn't address the issue of causality.

**Sure it doesn't. The correlation is compelling however.


Why? It seems entirely plausible that people carry guns in the USA
because it's a violent society, not the other way around.

Unless there is some evidence that the society in the USA is more
inherently violent than other countries, it's not entirely plausible.

It is more likely that, because people can carry guns, more people
will be shot than if people did not carry guns. That would include
the police, of course.


The majority of America is law abiding and similar to us But there are
some fairly large areas that have a high proportion of criminals due to
a number of factors .Most of the killings and mayhem is committed in
these areas and skews the statistics for the rest of law abiding
America.Australia does not have this problem, our criminals are
distributed fairly evenly (except for very small pockets)
It is incorrect to say that America is a violent society although
overall statistics may suggest otherwise.
Otherwise how do you explain that some states with high firearm
ownership have very little gun crime and others with extremely rigid gun
ownership laws have high homicide rates.

His schematic of the scope probe and scope input are oversimplified
to the point of incorrectness. Also, he ignored the low-pass nature
of the oscilloscope input, which might contribute to the clean
"sinusoidal" waveform.

Scope vertical amps don't ring.

That was not my point. The limited low-pass band of the input
amplifier and sampling circuit will either completely filter out
higher-frequency components, or will alias them down. If you are
seeing a nice sinusoidal waveform on an oscillioscope whose
fundamental frequency is close to the frequency limit of the scope,
chck it with a higher-frequency device.

I've seen the same (or similar) result with a higher bandwidth (300MHz)
scope, so the vertical bandwidth limit has nothing to do with it. The
TDS-220 is just the one I happened to have available at the time. I filmed
some comment on this extra stuff but it didn't make the cut.
