    "The Dad even took ten of the children to El Salvador to build refugees." Doesn't El Salvador have enough refugees of its own? I hope you realise that hamsters are very creative when it comes to revenge. - Elaine

You didn't learn anything from my previous post? devboycpp wrote: How should I have written to be polite ? Since it is just a forum it needs not to be like an official letter. Tell me how it would be better in terms of your idea ? Well, keeping it very simple, you could have added "please" to the sentence as in "please, tell me." Although you may think the people on the other end of internet conversations are merely disassociated electrons, if you want help, civility will go a long way. You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

    Lately the problem has been “We will use our cell phone expertise but we need power line monitoring. Our startup funding is assured.” H/W and software prototype is built. But the assured funding never came through. Anybody want to pay for home power monitoring? In my case it’s even worse than non-programmers not understanding. Few here have used a US$0.50 processor with all of 67 bytes of RAM. Using such a processor I wrote an all software PWM output for RGB LEDs. The goal: output color temperature. My code follows a rheostat, looks up RGB values in ROM and is able to make the base PWM run at over 130Hz. All paths have to take the same time or the resulting output will flicker. Add US$2.00 to the processor and get 3 hardware PWM outputs. “Sorry, we want to make 300K units and that more expensive approach is too costly.” This is so far from C++ STL or web site development that many (most?) here would call what I am good at a black art. Very small ad: If someone wants a simple, small footprint ARM Cortex-M3 multitasking scheduler I have one for the price of a reasonable consulting contract. Dig around in hmtown.com for a way to contact me.

    I love a good cop hate story as much as anyone, so when I first read the headline about this I got excited. However, once I read the details I discovered it was really just some guy trying to provoke a cop so he could have something to bitch about.
