Snowden: Used a Can-Opener, not a Laser-Beam
-
[^] Little Lord Snowden Sat down in NSA's garden, Downloading files night and day; With just a little Crawler To power his data trawler, He hauled all the secrets away
“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.” “How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice. “You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll
There once was a guy from Thailand, Whose poetry got out of hand, The rhyming was fine, Every time! But unfortunately very few of his poems scanned

Hi Mike, Do you use the Atmel AVR chips? If so, what programmer do you use? :)
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Richard, Until recently I used AVR chips exclusively and if you know how to solder you can get the USBTiny[^] kit from Adafruit. I got one a few years ago and it has been my programmer when all else failed. I had an AVR Dragon that I really liked and it was very versatile but every time they upgrade their IDE you have to upgrade the tools and this one refused to upgrade, so it's bricked.

I particularly like their response :- "If he'd done this anywhere else he would have probably been caught." Two thoughts: 1. A chain is as strong as its weakest link - particularly in security systems. 2. If it was that easy, imagine what industrial-strength espionage is pulling out of those systems.

Thanks! The Dragon looks really cool. Years ago I had used the DIY parallel port programmer, but no computer has a parallel port anymore!
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
The thing about the dragon is that it's a cheap In_Circuit Debugger it can also be used to unbrick chips and more. For only $50 it's a good tool to have.

With respect to An autonomous roving vehicle - Part 1 of n[^], it's Robot B-9. The robot on Lost In Space was called Robot B-9, or just Robot. Robbie the robot was from Forbidden Planet and never uttered the phrase "Danger Will Robinson". I know it probably sounds like a small thing to you, but details are important. You kids today...

Yeah that's been pointed out to me on a couple of occasions. The problem is that I'm so old that all the facts blend together into an indecipherable mess in my head. :)

Well, only one up-vote, so very few, I'm guessing :)
