netscape founder “jim clark” on fleeing silicon valley
http://www.webguild.org/2009/07/nets...ley-part-3.php

people thought nuts until generated $70 million of revenue in year one, , $300 million in year two. microsoft killed company, @ least aol (twx) bought before expired. ironically, if microsoft (msft) had focused on how leverage it, rather how kill it, might in google’s position today. serves them right.
ironically, @ time needed accelerate remain competitive in 2000, elected worst president in history. not focused on wrong things — starting wars, religious bigotry , zealotry, letting financial system go unregulated, etc. — cut r&d funding science , technology.

largely our insipid political leaders, stalled 8 of important years in past 100. u.s. resilient, lot overcome. world pretty uniformly covered smart people — have no patent on that. , web/internet enabling them learn , grow rapidly us, far worse off in 2000.
i think long time sigfile describes bush2 well.

as point 1.

blaming microsoft crappy product passe. had suffer through netscape navigator 4.x deserves reparations.

aol bought netscape, couldn't figure out it, , got stuck $100 million investment in "content portal" aol.com set green.

had microsoft not come along , killed off netscape, there'd no mozilla.org (they started when desperate , late save company) , there wouldn't firefox, , 1 company still dictating web was. (even microsoft has been tugged towards better standards compliance ie lately)

point 2.

can apologize rest of world , assure didn't vote bush many times... world seems associate america imbecile 49.999999999% of country , few supreme court judges gave us. that's because hated begin , have more ammunition.

hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table. ( hope ;-) ) i post here tab separated table : code: [select] arduino mega 2560 pin mapping table atmega 2560 pin out arduino mega function nr name function function function mapped pin name function function datasheet 1 pg5 oc0b digital pin 04 pwm 2 pe0 rxd0 pcint8 digital pin 00 rx0 (usart0 receive pin, programming data input or pin change interrupt 8) 3 pe1 txd0 digital pin 01 tx0 (usart0 transmit pin or programming data output) 4 pe2 xck0 ain0 (usart0 external clock  input/output) 5 pe3 oc3a ain1 digital pin 05 pwm 6 pe4 ...

(brightness , color mixing) code: [select] /* * code cross-fading 3 leds, red, green , blue (rgb) * create fades, need 2 things: *  1. describe colors want displayed *  2. list order want them fade in * * describing color: * color array of 3 percentages, 0-100, *  controlling red, green , blue leds * * red red led @ full, blue , green off *   int red = { 100, 0, 0 } * dim white 3 l...
