This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Have you looked at any errata's that may exist for the MCU?

Tektronix or HP? That question once evoked religious wars comparable to Apple vs. Microsoft.
Still have my decades old Tek 2235 analog 2 channel. Big and clumsy but good to 100MHz, without all those fancy DSO screen controls to mess it up.

No it was a Siglent. I have used both Tek & HP, sad to say I don't really feely strongly pro one or other (I seem to recall the auto set was better on the HP, but the Tek had a better control of the trace brightness) it like everything a choice of apples & oranges, what are your needs...

What is your opinion of the security of voting online or with an electronic voting device with regards to hacking and/or manipulating the results?
BTW, this would have made a great poll question this week.

"On the Internet nobody knows that you are a dog" 'Nuff said.
As for electronic voting devices there's too much opacity with a very restricted number of attendible witnesses, plus high chances of glitches and faults - also, knowing the rationales used to choose contractors, I doubt both of the very competence of the contractors and of their honesty.
Costly as it may be, pen on paper is readily accessible and inspectionable by anyone who can read.

Take a look at what happened with our census when they decided to make it an online event a couple of months ago. Granted, they had given the contract to Big Blue, which has been a mistake made by government a couple of times now, but it shows that nothing still is airtight.
More advances in technology are needed before going down that path, I think. It will happen, but we're not quite there yet.

Especially if the poll were hacked. :insane cackle:

Sincerely, I don't think so... Italian (and Spanish) people are quite renowned for being crafty entrepreneurs - IIRC Columbo was an Italian man on Spanish ships (and loaned gold).

Not true. According to IMDB regarding Columbo:
Los Angeles homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo uses his humble ways and ingenuous demeanor to winkle out even the most well-concealed of crimes.
