Fox got me good, but he did it by email... He's now out of my will but I don't think that's actually a punishment at all. I think I'll send him some nudes of Rosie O'Donnell.. > > Did you just admit to owing WMD? > Well, the destruction would only be considered "mass" in the way it's deployed, no? If I send them to Jeff, it's a direct (and particularly nasty) assault certainly, but I think I'm OK as far as WMD go. Did you stop to think that Jeff might actually enjoy them? |

I did not consider that possibility but clearly I should. You're a spoilsport Michael. |

When I plug my Blu Ray into the TV via component jacks, it has picture and sound so the component jacks are working as is the HD section of the TV. When I tried connecting the blu ray player through the HDMI adapter, it had sound but no picture, so neither the blu ray nor Roku was working through the adapter. I thought the adapter was bad but took it back to my shop to try and was surprised to find it works on a newer Samsung. >> Is it possible the older Panasonic could get a blu ray HD through the component jacks but not work with an HDMI to component adapter? > I use a Roku Express with a sevenn inch HDMI security monitor. They talk to each other, and they didn't work the first try. I had to have the LCD monitor on first, to get them to communicate. After that it has worked OK. If the monitor gets turned off, it will display a 'Do you want to continue watching ????' when it is turned back on. The Roku also has a menu setting to turn off a display or TV. This is the low end version, and I use it in my bedroom, next to my computer. It was bought at Best Buy about six months ago for $30. It only has a USB port for power, and a HDMI port. The OEM power supply is crap. It is too close to the actual current draw of the Roku, so I power it from my main computer. So far, it has worked well. It is on 24/7 to help mask my Tinnitus. You can search on EBay for 1st or 2nd generation Roku boxes; they have analog outputs |

The way I did it depended on the temperatures of interest. most temps Stuck good and bad probes in a potatoe Used peanut oil and the stove Low temps Stuck good and bad probes in a potatoe Water and added ice cubes I got an excellent curve match. It also turned out, that a random probe I purchased had the same curve. The bad probe actually had an intermittent contact. The actual readout was broken at the time. |

I checked the probe with both polarities of my ohmmeter. Also used the diode test function to look for this. The thing is that the temperature the device displays seems to work well with a resistance decade box. And all the parasitics that introduces. -- Paul Hovnanian mailto:Paul@Hovnanian.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Only through suffering comes wisdom. -- Zeus |
